Family Friendly
Cairns is a top family friendly destination, and there are no shortage of family friendly places to stay. Holiday apartments are ideally suited to families as they are well equipped with a kitchen, lounge and dining area - much like a home away from home. With our year round tropical climate you will find that all resorts and holiday apartments have at least one pool, if not a few, and onsite bbq facilities that provide a perfect way to entertain the family whilst on holidays. Dual key apartments have become increasingly popular with modern holiday accommodation developments in the Far North. They comprise of a hotel room/studio room and a one bedroom apartment that can be adjoined. A single front door opens into a foyer area, where you will find two seperate entries to the rooms. When the single front door is closed, the hotel/studio room and one bedroom doors can be fixed open to form a two bedroom apartment that you can walk freely between. The apartment side has full kitchen facilities and lounge area, whereas the hotel room has all your standard hotel features. The bonus of having two bathrooms makes it very handy for families.
You can find many family discounts on activities and attractions around the region, plus stay/pay deals on long stay accommodation. Ask one of our friendly consultants who will happily recommend the best accommodation and tours to suit your families needs and budget.
