Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Lakes Cairns Resort is a self-contained accommodation option in Cairns North, set across 11 acres of landscaped tropical gardens. Its location places guests close to Cairns’ CBD, beside the Botanic Gardens and only minutes from the Esplanade, making it a practical base for exploring the city while still offering plenty of room to settle in on site.
Accommodation is provided in one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with separate living and dining areas, modern appliances and private balconies. The larger apartments also include lanais. Because each apartment is individually owned, furnishings vary between stays, so the character and layout may be different from one visit to the next. The apartments are suited to couples wanting more space, families and groups travelling together, as well as longer stays.
There is plenty to do without leaving the resort. Guests can use four swimming pools, including a lap pool, along with a spa pool and tennis facilities. Complimentary poolside barbecue areas provide an option for relaxed outdoor meals, while sporting equipment and pool towel hire are also available. A resort store and tour desk add practical support for day-to-day needs and planning activities around Cairns.
The gardens, broad apartment layouts and private outdoor areas give the property a more spacious feel than a standard hotel room. Guests can stroll along the on-site Boardwalk, spend time by the pools or use the resort as a base for visiting the Botanic Gardens, the Esplanade and the Northern Beaches. Free Wi-Fi is provided in all apartments. The resort also offers long-term rentals, alongside its holiday accommodation, so it can suit both short Cairns visits and extended stays.
