Blessed with an ideal climate most of the year, featuring temperatures in the summer months (October-April) of 29-33°C, and winter (April-October) 25-29°C, Cairns boasts some of the planet’s most exotic natural attractions, the barrier reef, the rainforest and the Australian Outback, and they are all here awaiting your visit.

The very friendly locals of Tropical North Queensland will display the kind of friendly and courteous hospitality that has become the standard to aspire to for other tourism towns. Adventure tourism, night life, great eating and shopping multipy the excitement and sexiness of this unique destination.

If you have been here before, welcome back. If you are here for your first adventure, bathe in our attractions and make the most of your holiday.

Australia’s finest non-capital city, Cairns is the international front door to Far North Queensland. It is a vibrant cosmopolitan destination with warm, sunny tropical days balanced by cooling ocean breezes. Enjoy a stroll along the iconic Esplanade or satisfy your lust for food in one of the city’s many multi-cultural, diverse and award-winning restaurants.
<h2>Resort Cairns – What Cairns has to Offer</h2>
Cairns provides access to the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforests along with the Australian Outback. Cairns, with its international and domestic airport, is the first stop for most visitors who want to see the real Australia.

Laze on the sandy beaches, snorkel on the reef and experience the unique tropical rainforests that date back to when Australia was part of ancient Gondwanaland, many thousands of years ago.

Take a dip in the relaxing Cairns Esplanade lagoon, then look across the calm waters of Trinity Inlet and you will discover coastal ranges and mangrove environs that have not changed since the site was discovered by Captain James Cook in 1770.

The stunning Esplanade Lagoon is the perfect location to spend a lazy day soaking up the sun and wading in the lagoon’s cool and seductive water. There are many shaded spots to take refuge from the sun in the heat of the day, as well as cooking facilities. The boardwalk has unique displays of Cairns’s local history and has many exercise facilities for those keen on getting a bit of exercise.

Cairns is extremely well suited to travel by foot, or transport by cycle. Well used paths and dedicated walking paths abound. A tour of the Cairns Botanical Gardens is not to be missed. It features 38 hectares of native Aussie gardens which are maintained to lush standards, and many plants found here cannot be seen elsewhere.  Located among the vegetation is a coffee shop and restaurant, which is open every day for breakfast and lunch. Entry to the gardens is free.
