Cairns Colonial Club Resort

Cairns Colonial Club Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Had a great 12 days at Cairns Colonial Club over the recent school holidays. The kids enjoyed the pool area and making new friends every day. The convenience of a cafe, bar, pizza place and also breakfast buffet were great to integrate across our holiday when we weren’t out sight seeing. The rooms were always cleaned regularly and well, the staff always so helpful. Would be great to have slightly better storage solutions in the room, as we lived out of the suitcases instead of being able to put clothes away in a draw. Other than that - highly recommend and would love to visit again on our next trip up."

"A welcoming and affordable place to stay. I was in Cairns for work and was looking for a quiet place to stay. It was a quick trip into town by bus and good not to be in the city centre. The villa I stayed in had everything I needed - workspace, kitchen, ensuite bathroom and comfortable bed - all clean and well cared for. I'll book in again on future trips."
