10/10

Cairns Colonial Club is a great place for families. We’ve been staying here every time we visit Cairns. It’s comfortable, clean and quiet. Highly recommend it.

1-night trip

8/10

Was good overall but the beds were a bit hard which cause back soreness.
2-night trip

8/10

Puctures in thus site do not reflect the actual condition of the hotel or rooms. Very tired and need a full make over but was clean and service was good. Its cheaper for a reason and you would need a car as away from main esplanade etc.
9-night trip

10/10

Definitely stay again
2-night trip

8/10

Stayed here 30 years ago and although looking little tired was still good place to stay. Rooms serviced daily by friendly staff. Was looking forward to poolside swim up bar and shuttle service into CBD but neither are available anymore which was a shame but didn’t spoil our trip. We regularly walked the 4km to the esplanade instead of relying on uber or having to rent a car in between trips planned. Overall an enjoyable stay

4-night trip

10/10

We appreciated the family friendliness of the resort, the professionalism of staff and the convenience of the dining options available.
4-night trip

8/10

Busy time with school holidays, but a warm friendly family environment. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Close to town and amenities, the lush garden areas covered the tell tale signs for a lick of paint. The room was basic but very comfortable.
1-night trip

8/10

Well priced
3-night trip

10/10

It was suitable for a one night accommodation that was last minute was very pleased with the service
2-night trip

10/10

I have stayed here a few times over the years due to it's handy proximity to Cairns airport. Even though the property is a bit tired and in need of a lick of paint, the amazingly professional, friendly and efficient staff more than make up for that. I always feel safe there as a woman travelling alone, and the cafe is always busy with excellent drinks and food.
1-night trip

4/10

We stayed at Cairns Colonial Club Resort for four nights. While the check-in was smooth, parking was easy, and the pools were great for the kids, the housekeeping was disappointing—only one of our two rooms was cleaned, and towels weren’t changed despite following the resort's instructions. Although we appreciated being allowed to use the resort facilities after checkout, overall, we expected much better service for a family stay.
4-night trip

10/10

Quick and easy check in, friendly staff. Clean and tidy room, private and quiet, I had no issues at all.
1-night trip

10/10

Good facilities for family reasons
4-night trip

6/10

The hotel was ok, nothing really wrong woth it but very dated and shabby in parts. Playground was good. 3 pools which would be gpod but the bottom was uneven so really easy to stub a toe or graze a knee
3-night trip

10/10

Close to where we needed to be and great staff
9-night trip

10/10

Especially appreciated the room being very clean and staff friendly and helpful
1-night trip

4/10

The staff were generally Ok. while it would have been better not to have paid a reasonable ransom compared to what I was presented. the room Was what I expected for the price. Face cloths were not included in the linen. It is very family friendly, and has plenty of parking.
