Located conveniently within walking distance to restaurants and the beach (that has limited swimming but is nice for sunbathing) this hotel is pretty incredible! The staff is friendly and helpful, the food is great and atmosphere is wonderful. Definitely my favorite hotel that we stayed at during our 2 week, 5 star tour of Australia. more

I stayed for two nights at this hotel while on holidays in North Qld. I had booked through a special online deal ($95/night) so compared to other hotels in the area, it was great value for money. The hotel itself is not too bad- but the interior of the hotel feels a bit old and tired- I found the hallways... more

Descent hotel although we could do without the slamming doors in hallways and chairs dragging on adjacent unit balconies late in the evening and early morning. We booked this hotel as part of a package deal and after realizing that plane tickets cost more alone than with the three night package, so we can't complain too much. Rooms are clean... more

We stayed in the Rydges Tradewinds for 6 nites in Sep 09. Although not our first choice of hotel the offer we found (GBP300 for 6 nites) made us choose this hotel. We arrived at midday and a room was available for us to check in, however, the first room we were given did not have a balcony so we... more

When I first pulled up I said to the taxi driver, "wow, can I afford this place?" The staff is nice and friendly, and the location is great. But the bed spread had tears in it and the floor had a big stain. I'd stay there again. Everything else was pretty nice. The pool looked really nice and the bar... more

We booked through wotif.com and got a special deal. The price paid per person was little more than what one would pay at a backpackers. Because of this we did not have high expectations. However, we were very pleased with the quality of the accomodation. All of the furnishings were of good quality. There was a large pool and area... more

Have just stayed here for 6 nights in a "Superior Water View Twin Double" room, and really loved the entire experience. Cairns is simply a fabulous place and we were pleased we chose Tradewinds. Our room on the 4th floor overlooked the pool and gardens with water views of the Bay. I would think almost every room at Tradewinds would... more

Gosh, it's pretty nasty to write a bad reveiw of place because you had some poor person make a mistake! - which they fixed for you!!! We loved our stay at Rydges Tradewinds and everyone we came accross was friendly and professional. The hotel is being painted right now, but apologies for incoveniences even came from the painters! Great location... more
