Booked 3 nights, but added 6 more. We loved it here. Not only is this a great place (very new, clean and quiet), Trinity Beach and the other northern beaches of Cairns are also very nice. Many things to see and do in the area. Check out restaurant L'Unico near the beach. more

Spent 4 nights at Seahaven. Fantastic location with direct access to the beach from level 1. Located on Hastings Street in heart of shops and restaurants. As mentioned in previous reviews, beach chairs and umbrellas available from reception. Friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Stayed in standard 1 bedroom apartment with full kitchen facilities on level 2. Fantastic views across pool... more

I have never been so angry about a restaurant experience in all my life as to that I had the displeasure of encountering at Mondos. As an interstate visitor to cairns I booked a large table for a prewedding dinner months in advance. About 1-2 weeks before we arrived in cairns I called mondos to confirm our booking again. I... more

If you are going to Port Douglas, then definitely stay at Reflections. Not even a 5 minute walk to all of the excellent bars and restaurants and a 2min walk to 4 mile beach! Apartments were large and had all the mod cons (dishwasher, washing machine etc). Whilst we were in Port Douglas I lost my wallet with all my... more

This was our second stay at rydges - we travelled with our twin girls for the weekend who are 2 - so we are pretty organised travellers - we like the location near southbank and the rooms overlooking the river are great with a little kitchen area which is very handy - however this time around I had become a... more

We stayed here, before and after a sailing course around the beautiful Whitsunday Islands, what a fantastic start to our trip, the accomodation is spacious and clean and furnished in a homely way. The restaurant is gorgeous and is lovely as a view across the bay, you will not be disappointed. The desserts are a little curious though, so possibly... more

Nice location in the heart of Cairns. I tried the Outback Sampler (Kangaroo steak, crocodile sausage, ostrich medallion). Loved the first two! My first real outback meat experience. Service is a little slow and the food is definitely not cheap. One of my friends wanted a virgin cocktail which wasn't available and the owner himself came over to explain that... more

My self and my partner stayed at the Meridian in port douglas for 1 week between oct 9th & oct 16th. We can honestly say it was a wonderful week from start to finish. John and Pauline took care of everything including booking of all our day tours from the front desk. The hotel is a five minute walk from... more

We booked into Twin Waters for 4 nights as part of our honeymoon. After the long haul between the carpark and the room (with no help from staff), the strong smell of chlorine and beach hit you like a brick. The smell only got worse once we entered our tiny room (which was supposed to be a Superior King). We... more

My wife and I stayed at the Meriton in December. We booked a mystery apartment deal as we knew the least we would get would be a studio apartment which suited us as there was only the two of us. On arrival they upgraded us to a 1br apartment. We had the choice of a lower floor ocean view or... more

This is simply one of the best hostels in Oz. We spent a month going up the east coast and stayed in hostels the whole way. Some good, some great and some not so good. But this one is one of the best. The hostel is in a lovely old listed building but is very clean and has quality facilities.... more

cattle county - what can you expect (we thought) and were pleasently surprised, how nice this hotel was. for just one night, the travellodge is a very good buy. we booked this through the internet and since a fellow writer suggested to request a room on the upper floor away from the elevator (nice packaged with mentioning our honeymoon ;-),... more

hmmmm... well, what can I say... it's eco certified, so don't expect a classic 4* resort. nope, they don't have a nice beach. nope, they don't have very nicely furnished rooms nope, staff is not very friendly yes, food is okay yes, the nature is fantastic, so that's the only reason, why you should keep Fraser Island as a stop... more

i planned to stay there for a week but had to move out after 2 days. staff was extremely rude and had no experience with backpackers. Even management is hopeless. I complained becuase my room was grotty and had a few cockroaches and the beds were stained. They just laughed and said I could stay somewhere else. Awful place, don't... more

My husband, 11 yr old daughter and I really enjoyed our five nights on the island in late November. We arrived around 3.30pm and were greeted at the little airport by a member of staff who gave our small group a short tour of the amenities (bags were whisked away to our room), then sat us down in the bar... more

Had read some of the other reviews and decided to try ourselves, i would have to disagree with those who said to pricey with mains and dessert.We didnt even realize that they did savoury food.Best kept secret in town.They serve a 400 day grain fed eye fillet for $34 or unbelievable prawn risotto for $25 .Then desserts well at $15... more

We stayed at Reflections of Port Douglas based on other reviews from this site. We found this to be great hideaway in a small quaint location. We were dropped of outside of the hotel and were greeted outside by the owner Carmel. She immediately introduced herself and led us to our apartment. This personalized service was an amazing treat! We... more

I always check with Tripadvisor before I book a hotel and booked this hotel because of the good reviews. The complex is fairly new and the apartments were great. I was impressed that the 2 bedroom apartments each have their own bathroom which is quite rare. The Mowbray surf club across the road is great for meals and drinks as... more
