"Locality perfect for walking to the wharf for reef excursions. And the CBD. Only stayed for one night but the facilities (pools etc) looked amazing.
Desk staff were lovely."

We had the king suite. Our room was very spacious and clean. The mountain views were nice. Air conditioning works great. There is Beam e-scooter hire parking at the front of the hotel. The bar is nice.
Only tip to know is sometimes when you swipe your room key, if turning the handle down doesn’t work try turning it up (counter clockwise) something the front desk told us after we had trouble.

Wonderful location for a Cairns stay. Have been to Cairns several times and stayed at various hotels and found The Benson to be in the best location, easy to walk to dining options and to the marina or Cairns Central etc.

Beautifully renovated building in Art Deco style. The high gloss timber floors, the wallpaper, the ceiling rosettes, this property has it all. I fell in love the moment I walked in and will never stay in another cold impersonal motel room in Cairns again.

We arrived to a lovely warm welcome from the staff and the rooms were so clean and the decor is marvellous. They had the airconditioner and fans running so the room was cool for us when we opened the door. The balcony was terrific to be able to see the beach but I am suggesting an inside apartment would be just as pleasing because the pool and the gardens were terrific too.
Would highly recommend the resort and Holloways beach is just beautiful.

The property itself is lovely. The staff were helpful. Dinner was delicious. Our room however wasn’t very clean and had a manky smell. We tried to stay in the communal spaces, which were very pleasant

Expensive, but the rooms are wonderful, very new clean and well appointed. Great pool and bar and easy to book snorkle, fins etc. Staff amazing and helpful. We loved the experience and being pampered by the wonderful staff. The Chef is top class, some of the best food you will enjoy.

We left our 2 small children in Victoria for the first time ever, to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. Greatly needing some relaxation time, we sure got it. Peppers was so beautiful! Transfers organized from the airport were smooth & prompt, & the trip to Palm Cove quick. We arrived before lunch, but found our room was ready to check into a couple of hours early.
The room was amazing, the view was awesome & really spacious.

Great value for money for the the location. Just a short walk to the esplanade. Apartments could do with updating but it was comfortable, clean and a great pool

My partner and I stayed here for three days, two nights. We arrived at 9am on our first day and was shown immediately to our room, which was an unexpected surprise given that the checkin time was 2pm. The Reception staff made us very welcome from the start, offering some helpful hints for our stay and organising transfers, and even a complimentary late checkout. The room, a one bedroom suite, was enormous, large bedroom, two bathrooms, full size kitchen, large lounge/dining room and balcony...
