Cairns Colonial Club Resort
"Our room was close to reception and the eating areas. Accommodation was suitable for the one night we stayed. We found the mattress a bit to firm for us and the pillows were the same. Small thing! there was no face washer or hand towel in the bathroom, just 2 towels and bath mat. Unsure if forgotten ..."
