Eat & Drink

The hotel is only steps away from Domino's Pizza Cairns City serving Italian dishes.

“The convenience of its location near Cairns Civic Theater and affordable rates are balanced by the availability of family rooms, barbecue facilities and proximity to Cairns Central. The outdoor swimming pool adds a refreshing touch, although improvements around the property appear necessary. Overall, it strikes me as a practical choice for those prioritizing budget and key attractions.”
