Top Tablelands Regional Hotel Reviews

The Oceanfront Cairns

The Oceanfront Cairns

8/10 Good
"Limited parking in exposed front park lot, otherwise it was street parking. One lift operating which took a while during peak time close to checkout. Bit of construction work going on. Otherwise spacious great room (just unfortunate that there is a small step into the bathroom which is a toe catcher, and shower glass doesn’t cover enough whereby the floor outside gets very wet)."
