Where are you staying in Cairns

geoffnvi · May 09, 2011, 10:09:14 PM

Hi All,

We are looking at arriving into Cairns on Monday 20th and spending the week seeing some of the sites and doing day trips to Atherton, Mareeba and the reef.

I was wondering where everyone else is staying when they arrive prior to our departure on the 25th for the Cape.

cheers
Geoff

We'll be in Cairns on Monday 20th at the Big 4 Coconut Holiday Resort, with Steveandviv. It will be good to see a few others who may be heading north and to share an ale or three.

Mark,

Lake Placid looks good. We also like the looks of th Coconut resort and will be making a decision in the coming days. It would be good to meet and get to know others who are coming to the Cape.

cheers

we stayed at Lake Placid last year, and it was good, lovely park, and fairly quiet when we were there (sept), but our kids had their noses pressed against the windows as we drove past Coconuts, and their faces dropped when we kept on driving. If we were going this year, we would have stayed at coconuts this time.

McGirr · May 12, 2011, 08:17:52 AM

Coconuts caravan park is a fantastic place. It is on the southern side of Cairns and allow 20 min to drive to where we will be meeting to leave on the trip. Lake Placid is on the northern side of Cairns and is 5 min to our meeting place.

We stayed at Lake Placid in 2009 with the Myswag Cape Capers trip so I guess we'll be staying there again. It's nice and close to Woolies for the departure day.

geoffnvi · May 17, 2011, 09:44:58 PM

I've booked into Coconuts as well.

Bert

bjf · May 18, 2011, 06:34:53 PM

When we stayed there last year they put on pancakes for breakfast on Thursday's. We'll have to get a bigger table this time since there is a few of us staying there.

Brett

idlegossip · May 18, 2011, 10:03:11 PM

Hi, even though we live in Cairns, we used to live in Port Douglas and have stayed at Cairns Coconut Resort. It has a huge amount of facilities there and a big program of events too including movies, dances. We had a lovely Thai takeaway meal too.

All those meeting in Cairns prior to departure are keen to catch up for a feed and beer on say, Thursday night at say the Balaclava Hotel on the main drag (Mulgrave Road)? Good steaks, cold beer and kids play room for those with little ones? If keen I can make a booking?

yogi · June 20, 2011, 08:17:51 AM

We will only be getting into Cairns that night ... probably after dark. Are you going to drop by for a beer on Friday Teabag ?
