Collection from the airport following a phone call to the hotel was swift and efficient.
hotel staff were very helpful. The suite was more than acceptable, bedroom, bathroom with separate living area containing 2 single beds, fridge and table
... and chairs. No comfortable armchairs in the suites, so do not plan to spend too much time relaxing reading or watching tv in your room.
the hotel was about a twenty minutes walk from cairns centre via the main road or slightly longer via the seaside route. restaurant was good without being spectacular. There is a pub (#### and bull) serving food 1 block north, worth a visit.
my advice to anyone visiting cairns without a car is to check the public transport. We left it a bit late to check the bus routes but did take a bus to the beaches, which stopped at the skyrail rainforest cableway.
if you plan it right you maybe able to catch the kuranda scenic railway from cairns railway station to kuranda then take the skyrail to the the caravonica terminal and then catch a bus back to cairns. Check it out as i did not do the trip and the web sites i have looked out mention organized tours with no mention of “ do it yourself” using public transport.
