Cairns Colonial Club Resort

Cairns Colonial Club Resort

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed in the superior room downstairs as I am unable to manage stairs. The room was awesome, but walls in this resort are paper thin as I heard every movement from the room above me and every room door slam shut, every single time. I - however closed mine gently it is possible maybe put signs up behind the doors to close gently. I have stayed also last year in the garden room and same issues but I generally loved the resort and the amenities available in the same place. A couple more disabled parks would also be good."
