I wish I had stayed there before. What a discovery! Clean, in a quiet area close to the waterfront and such good value for money! The receptionist was ever so nice! There looks to be a quaint little pool, but I did not use it.

It is a bit old and retro, but very clean and spacious. The staff were very friendly. I had an overnight in Port Douglas and they not only looked after my luggage while I was away, they delivered it to my room so it was waiting to me when I returned.

Everything was beautiful. Decor spot on, every little thing was well thought out, from the cutlery, crockery, toiletries to coordination of the linen. Spotlessly clean and fresh. The only thing I found was the aircon wasn't as cold as I would have liked. It was set at 17deg but it felt a lot warmer, I had the ceiling fan on full but it was still too warm for me. Apart from that I loved loved the room. I will be back and highly recommend it.

All motels in Cairns

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.
