How to get there

We are set just 2 streets back from the Cairns Esplanade. From The main street Sheridan Street just lookout for the Giant Captain Cook Statue and we are just behind it!!

Our FREE airport shuttle bus operates between 7am and 9. 30pm. When you arrive and you have collected your luggage call us and we'll send our driver out to come and get you. Please advise us when you book if you will be arriving outside of these hours so we can organise a late check in for you.



If you are arriving at the airport outside of these hours just jump on the Cairns Airport shuttle that meets all inbound flights. It costs about $12 and they will drop you off at our front door where our night watchman will be waiting to check you in.

We also pick up from the train and bus services in between 06. 30 and 21. 30.

Nearest airport: Cairns airport is just 10 minutes drive from our doorstep.
