Our take

Cairns Aquarius is my pick for families planning several reef and island trips from Cairns. The self-contained apartments sit on The Esplanade, each with a large ocean-view balcony, air conditioning, a full kitchen and laundry facilities, and there is a pool and a spa. Restaurants are a few steps away. About 900 guests rate it 8.5. If you want daily housekeeping and an on-site restaurant, a full-service hotel will suit you better.

  • ✓Book an ocean-facing apartment to make the most of the striking views from your balcony
  • ✓Utilise the fully equipped kitchen to prepare some meals and save on dining out
  • ✓Walk to the Reef Fleet Terminal for your reef and island tours, it's just a short stroll away

Why guests love it

Cairns Aquarius works best for families who plan to be out on the reef and islands most days. The apartments are self-contained, with a fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, air conditioning and a large balcony with ocean views, so meals and washing are easy to manage. The pool and spa give children somewhere to cool off, and the Esplanade, with local restaurants and attractions, is on the doorstep. Rated 8.5 by about 900 guests, it suits a week better than a night.
