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.

I like a pool mostly . The room was clean with comfy bed. Very friendly helpful stuff.

This luxury resort offers spacious luxury apartments set amongst lush tropical gardens. Facilities include 4 luxurious swimming pools, a sauna and a tennis court.

Each air-conditioned apartment at The Lakes Cairns features a fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities. The spacious living and dining areas open onto a private balcony.

This resort is a gorgeous Mediterranean style resort. Facilities are good, landscaping and pools are beautiful. We stayed in two different units as we travelled in between. The units were different but both lovely - our favourite one was ground level with direct access to the pool but the 1st floor unit had a good view.

    Nice property that feels like a resort for backpackers. Lovely pool and nice places to relax all over the property. Plenty of kitchens to choose from so it is never busy. Most people go on tours during the day so the property is pretty quiet during the day time.

    We were upgraded to a 'luxury room' which was excellent. Room was very well appointed, spacious and very comfortable. The location of the property is great, next to the night markets and one street back from the esplanade in Cairns. Easy walking distance to everything. Secure under cover car parking.

    Great facility, but I did get caught out with it being called Gilligan's "Hotel & Resort". From what I saw it's a high end backpackers with with premium rooms available (where I was). Gilligans has pretty much everything you need to have a good time.

    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...

Full functional kitchen with enough pots and pans to make your breakfast. Enjoyed our stay with friends and families.
