Cairns

A sophisticated city, Cairns is your gateway to this vibrant region. You'll find the warm climate reflected in a friendly welcome. Be lured by a stunning array of dining choices, choose from more than 650 tours and see for yourself why Cairns has been voted Australia's most liveable regional city.

Cairns is a great place to use as your base to explore lush tropical rainforest, cosy villages and to access tropical islands and the Great Barrier Reef. This thriving city's airport, train, cruise and highway linkages bring all within easy reach.

Cairns resort choices are all special, with an emphasis on water and sunshine. For example, Seachange Apartments on Trinity Beach is a very popular spot with travellers looking for some luxury accommodation accompanied by some spectacular beachside views.

Stretching 26km along unspoilt coastline, the beaches of Cairns lie north of the city. Palm Cove is a charming start to your beach odyssey. Take a reef tour, wander around the village and take in the atmosphere or sample tropical cuisine at a beachfront restaurant. Head south to Trinity, a palm-fringed cove between two headlands. Relax with a walk through beachside rock pools to a hilltop vantage point to spy dolphins or turtles or visit nearby Kewarra Beach, a golden strip of sand lapped by the Coral Sea. Other must-see beaches include Holloways, Yorkeys Knob and Ellis Beach, a popular weekend destination for locals.

Simply Lush hosts a range of luxury accommodation in the Cairns region, including Angsana Resort & Spa Great Barrier Reef - the only resort in the Cairns and Palm Cove region to boast absolute beach frontage; Kewarra Beach Resort, built around the still waters of a lagoon and fringed by the ever-changing waters of the Coral Sea; as well as
Zanzoo in Redlynch, hosting beautiful views of Freshwater Creek and the Palm Gardens.
