    The area allows us to have sea breeze in the evening time so that the heat during the day may be relieved. The BBQ, the picnic and other local facilities are good and helpful. I saw many doing their evening bike walk or natural walking. This was the place where the Lunar New Year 2021 fireworks took place: very spectacular!

    Older style but very clean and comfortable with good instructions for late night entry. Close proximity to the Cairns Esplanade and some lovely coffee shops for breakfast. Arrived after midnight on a late flight - this hotel is one of the closest to the airport - only $19 for taxi. Hotel cost just over $100, a real bargain, given an unexpected overnight stop thanks to Jetstar changes to an international flight.
