“The managers were lovely, helpful and completely accommodating. They offered to personally pick us up from the airport! Rooms are what you pay for - comfy beds, decent air conditioning, a good amount of food prep/utensils (enough to cook yourself breakfast at least). The pool was nice too; the managers have pool towels which they can give you if you don't have your own . Good experience overall!”
“A nice place to stay in Cairns, but the reception service could have been better. The man at the front desk seemed quite sluggish and not very friendly. We also had trouble getting into the hotel in the evening because the phone number listed on Booking didn’t answer and the gate was locked. Fortunately, another guest let us into the hotel area.”
“We had a wonderful stay at Cairns Holiday Lodge. Manager Bharat and his team were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Their excellent service made our stay enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommended!”
