Cairns Coconut Holiday Resort

Cairns Coconut Holiday Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in a 1 bedroom brick villa/hut. We stayed here because we have family travelling Australia in their caravan and this is where they wanted to stay. It was a perfect fit for us. It is a fantastic place for children to enjoy themselves, big and small. Our almost 3 year old grandson loved the waterslides, the jumping pillows, the mini golf, the splash park.... he was in wonderland. The double pedalcar was a huge hit, We took advantage of the bbqs around the main pool and enjoyed BBQ breakfast and dinners there. We enjoyed a meal at the Cafe. The pancake Thursday was a lovely way to end our stay on our last day. It's not where I would expect I would stay, but I am very happy we did stay here."

Atherton Hinterland Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Spacious room/apartment, super helpful staff and great location within 10 minutes walk to the centre of Atherton. We loved our stay here, with a leafy rainforest vibe but great convenience to shops, pubs & dining in Atherton, a cafe just around the corner and easy access to surrounding attractions. Tucked away at the back of the property (not easy to find!), our 2 bedroom apartment had a generous living area with full kitchen, older but super clean bathroom and 1 king bedroom plus second bedroom with double and bunk beds. The staff were always pleasant and helpful and went out of their way to prepare our room so we could check in quickly. Very comfortable and convenient - would definitely stay here again."
