Great location in the heart of the esplanade, restaurants and only a five minute walk to the marina. Rooms and common areas look fresh and well maintained. Helpful reception staff. Dined at the rooftop bar which had a fantastic view but service didn’t quite meet the friendly and accommodating nature of colleagues at reception. Overall a terrific hotel and would stay again.

The staff at Oaks Cairns were absolutely lovely, very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful room and great central location, walking distance to most activity meetups, great restaurants and shopping. I had an unfortunate experience at the Double Tree by Hilton and ended up needing a room last minute, even though Oaks Hotel Cairns had nothing to do with the poor experience at Double Tree Hilton, they gave me a free drink voucher to help improve my night. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The Quest Hotel is perfectly situated on the waterfront in Cairns. We booked the trip to The Barrier Reef and were pleasantly surprised it was just a short walk to the marina to connect with our tour boat. There is a restaurant on the roof that , weather permitting, is a lovely restaurant with evening sunset views during your meal. There is only one lift which can be a pain if t are people coming in to use the rooftop restaurant and you’re waiting for the lift to eventually arrive on the 7th floor or ground floor as a hotel guest.
