This is the second time we have stayed and both times have been excellent. Cairns Colonial offers great value and puts a lot of the better known hotel chains to shame.

I had a delightful stay for 5 nights. The accommodation was within distance to all of the tourist attractions and tours that i visited and participated in.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The food at Flamingos was very appetising including cocktails.
