Booked online for a brief overnight stay. Have stayed in many of Cairns accomodation rooms and Units,this one rates very highly for me. Very clean, spacious, (had my 23 year old grandson with me), beautifully appointed with kitchenette and small courtyard, and best of all, very pleasant welcoming hosts. It was inexpensive, and a great find. I will definitely stay... More

We stayed here briefly as a 'cheapie' as part of a bigger trip. We were after something inexpensive, cheerful and decent. I was very impressed with the Reef Palms. The service was very friendly and welcoming and the cleanliness of the rooms amazing. It really stood out after quite a lot of traveling. Also, the accommodation was much more spacious... More

We booked a week here from the UK on the basis of the excellent Trip Advisor reviews. It exceeded our expectations. The room was very comfortable and spacious, with functioning kitchenette.

This is a very nice place if you are staying in Cairns and don't want to be downtown. The hotel is a bit away from all the downtown attractions... maybe a 20 minute walk along the waterfront, but that means it is quiet. They do have a free shuttle to town several times per day. The owners were extremely helpful... More

Clean, comfortable, convenient accommodation that included breakfast. We enjoyed walking along the Esplanade to the city. Most outstanding was the friendly, helpful staff. The shuttle bus to the city when we needed it was most appreciated. Would stay again and recommend to others. More

The owners of this hotel are delightful, and are happy to help book any kind of excursion (you can even call ahead to do this in advance). Rooms are clean, and there is complimentary transportation into the city. We stayed two nights, but would have gladly stayed longer! More

Appartment we had was clean, spacious and great shower. Kitchen had everything you need, also a large bbq at pool side. Owners couldn't have been more helpful - recommendiing and booking tours, providing beach towels and a shuttle bus into the town centre.
