We were upgraded the first night to a harbour room. Was wonderful. They stored our luggage when we took a 4 day scuba boat and had it ready for us in the next room when we returned. Great location for the harbour. We ate at the restaurant and it was surprisingly wonderful. Coffee in the morning for take out was delicious

    The staff is super friendly, due to the off season we were able to have an early check-in which was great! The staff would show interest in our plans during our stay and they were very helpful. The location is fine enough, but the city centre isn’t really reachable walking, so we just took Ubers for like 8 dollars which was perfectly fine. The room itself was very clean it’s maybe a bit more old fashioned, but it kinda fit the ambiance of the hotel. In general I was very satisfied with my stay after traveling for so long, thank you hotel Tropiq!

    Great barbeque option next to pool. Loundry sevices available. Nice and professional staff. Easy check in/out. Great conditioner in room. We had balcony with pool view, stay was good and silent (as we dont mind airplanes time to time flying close up to the hotel). Location close to everything, shop just next street and Lagoon walking 10-15 min. Would like to come back some day.

    The North Cairns area can be noisy because of its location near the airport. Road noise is also a concern during the day because the apartment is on the1st floor and no sound barriers between its balcony and the road nearby. Overall, though, the noise level greatly reduces in the evening and did not affect our sleeping at night.

    The beautiful breeze was lovely whenever I sat on a comfortable seat on the grass near the beach... We thought the views were amazing in every way we turned on the walkway across the road from the Agincourt Beachfont...We will be returning. It will most likely be in the winter though, as humidity is very high in the summer for us, as a couple from the central coast, in N.S.W. Thank you! It is close enough for a drive to Cairns, Port Douglas and other beautiful spots.

    A good alternative to the much trendier and therefore pricier northern beaches of Trinity Beach and Palm Cove. And definitely much quieter! A comprehensive shopping strip on the main street and of course not far from the large shopping complex at Smithfield. A few restaurant options available, including the yacht club. There is a bus service into Cairns CBD, but I would recommend hiring a vehicle for your stay. Taxis are very expensive.

    Beautiful, quiet and relaxing (wasn’t crowded at all when we were there in June). Seems to be off the beaten path for tourists—seemed to be more locals there, so probably not typically as crowded as some of the more well known beaches. We probably wouldn’t have known about it if we weren’t staying at a house on the beach. Neighborhood is quiet and beautiful, although not a ton of beach parking for visitors. Beautiful walking path, small playground, picnic tables, incredible sunrises, sand is soft and silky, water is warm to wade in, however, swimming is not recommended due to possible crocodiles.

    Tours are great paranella park and kuranda are the 2 I recommend. There is plenty to do around cairns city. Muddies playground was just 5 minutes walk to the esplanade from where we stayed its more for younger children and there is a cafe next to it where you can order extra hot coffee. And the lagoon is great for those who love the water.
