location of cairns holiday lodge

The Cairns Holiday Lodge is on the city fringe located between the Cairns Domestic and International Airports and the City Centre.

Taxis to the Airport or City cost $10-$15 and is just a six minute drive. We are positioned on the corner of Sheridan and Thomas Streets. Buses leave from the front of the lodge every 15mins to the City Centre or Beaches.

Keen walkers and joggers love to include in there daily routine from the Lodge a 20min walk to the Botanical Gardens where you cross the Centennial Lakes Board walk to arrive there, and continue to the Red Arrow Tropical Rain Forest 1.5km Walk. Why not extend yourself and tackle the 5km Blue Arrow walk. For the more relaxed walkers the kiosk there serves great coffee and lunches. The versatile Tanks are another wonderful feature here, continually used for an Art Gallery, Work shops, Feature Bands, or just for a Giant sale of goods.

With Cairns being a Port City it has much to offer. Flanked by mountains containing the wonderful North Queensland Tropical Rain Forests. (which can be explored in many ways)Cairns Holiday Lodge is well positioned to view the mountain scenery from Apartments facing the western side of the complex.

We are just a 5min walk to the seafront Esplanade with its well lit board walk that takes you to the city Hub via wonderful play areas including the popular Muddies Water Play Ground, past a modern skate board park and sand based Beach Volley Ball courts onto lawns with BBQ'S and an Entertainment Sound Shell that has family orientated functions all year round. Next you arrive at the wonderful supervised Swimming Lagoon that can hold up to one thousand people.

The Cairns Esplanade is a gathering place for all to take in the sun and the sights of the harbour. Cairns Night Markets, which play host to a wide variety of locally crafted gifts and souvenir stalls are open until 11.00pm each night.
The Cairns Pier area has many eateries, restaurants and hotels located along the way to tempt your taste buds and take in the breathtaking views as you dine. Watch the many tour vessels embark on their daily launch to The Islands and the Great Barrier Reef, or just gaze at the aqua marine waters that lap at her Port.

Perhaps you'll be tempted to stroll a little further to the Sofitel Reef Casino and take in the opulence and maybe have a flutter on some of the many gaming machines, or perhaps a visit to the Casino Dome with its hand reared birds and animals.

Shields Street is very well noted for its huge variety of restaurants with their fine cuisine, and for the shopaholics Cairns Central Shopping Centre with its vast array of retail outlets is easily located on Mc Leod Street.

Close by us we have Hotels, Restaurants, an IGA food store open until 11pm every night of the week, Bakery & Takeaways. These are within walking distance from Cairns Holiday Lodge. Our guests find our location handy not only to the Airport and City, but to Sporting Venues, Tafe, & the Cairns Base Hospital.
