Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut

Although it is far from the city center, there are many playgrounds, including three pools, so elementary school students can play all day. You can cook your own meals in the room, so I grilled some Aussie beef steaks I bought at the supermarket on the gas stove in the facility and ate them. You can get to the city center by bus, so you don't need a taxi. I would like to visit again.

It was larger and cleaner than I expected. It's out of the city center, but I used Uber so it wasn't a big deal. I was also pleased that a welcome drink was included.

The hotel's location is pretty good – close to the beach and just a short walk to the city center. Our room was clean, tidy, spacious, and comfortable (thanks for the free upgrade!). There's a guest laundry room downstairs, which is super convenient (you can get change and buy detergent at the front desk). Plus, they offer free breakfast in the morning (simple pastries, coffee, milk, juice). Highly recommend!

Bed is comfy, sheets are clean but blankets looks not washed, so we did not use it. Toilet is clean and love the shower. Facility is really old, needs updating.

The building is a little older but the staff do their best to keep it clean and tidy. We informed Mr Mike Scott of our room aircon condition and he immediately helped us to check and changed to another room #17 for us. Thank you so much. The accommodation provides everything that you will need for a family holidays from the pool, complete kitchen, to the laundry facilities. It is very convenient and accessible to all places via DiDi, Uber and public buses. Thank you Mr Mike Scott and team!

Cairns City Sheridan Motel

I stayed for two nights, and the first unexpected thing was that the laundry wasn't available, which was a real shame. You can get fresh towels if you ask. As for Wi-Fi, it was only available in public areas, so I couldn't connect while in my room. The room had a TV, but Netflix wasn't accessible. Be aware that there were ants walking around and a cockroach appeared, so if you're bothered by that, be careful. You can generally walk to the supermarket, but be prepared for an average 15-minute walk.

Reef Palms Motel Apartments

6.6/10
Posted on Feb 7, 2020
The only regrettable hotel in Australia and New Zealand. Let me talk about the advantages firstly: it is close to the beach, only a few minutes walk, you can walk, no beach, and the sea water is cloudy. Walk to the city center for about half an hour and there are buses. Besides the disadvantages: the hotel is old, the Wi-Fi signal is often not available, the room is crammed, the kitchen operation table is next to the bed, and you have to be very careful when washing. There was also a striking warning-1,000 fines for triggering a smoke alarm. The swimming pool downstairs was completely unused, with leaves and unknown objects floating in it. The most frustrating thing is that the ants on the wall are all in the tea cup after returning for a while. At night I crawled into my neck! Will not go again.

Because I want to transfer from Cairns to Bamaga, I booked this hotel. I am optimistic that it is relatively close to the airport, about 5 kilometers. The room is quite big, less than 30 square meters, and the price-performance ratio is relatively high. The hotel before arrival Through my customer service, I informed the key pick-up code and the code of the hotel door, because the hotel door is locked after 0:00 to 5:30 in the morning, but I have to leave early because of the early flight. This hotel is still very considerate. ,Not bad
