Ideally located in the central business district of Cairns, Queensland, this dream destination is situated just off the Esplanade, only a short stroll from the main Cairns shopping precinct.

Relax around the pool, or enjoy a refreshing swim. When ready to go out, ask at the tour desk for advice. Return with an appetite, and have fun with the barbecue facilities. Free Wi-Fi access is available.

Philip and his partner very helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Pool area very clean and tidy. Bedroom (studio) very well furnished with ample TV channels. Coffee and tea facilities and fridge in room. Small cafe opposite (Jamdrop) does breakfast and lunch snacks. Otherwise its a 15 minute walk into town. Esplanade about 5 minutes on foot. Pool towels provided. Would stay again.

The resort is built around a resort-style pool with a waterfall. The local public bus leaves from outside the Cairns Gateway Resort and can take you to the shopping heart of Cairns and the beautiful lagoon.

What a lovely stay we had and all the staff at reception and the cleaner were really lovely and so helpful. The beds in the room were super comfy and also included in the room was a TV, fridge, cutlery and crockery. There was a great barbecue area within the grounds of swimming pool and the swimming pool was beautiful. Everything was immaculate. Would most definitely stay again if I visit Cairns. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Very highly recommended.

    The view from the room was fantastic! The location was fantastic! Close enough to walk to everything but far enough to not be in the middle of all the hubbub and chaos. Nice pool but we were there over school holiday and there were lots of kids being kids and not being considerate of others...but it's a family resort so...

    Cairns Beach Resort is an excellent place to stay for touring the area. It’s right next to Holloways Beach with a cafe just over the road and is right on a bus route to the city. Very convenient for visiting The Tablelands, Mossman, The Daintree, Cape Tribulation and doing a reef trip.
