We stayed 5 days. Excellent location,nice walk along the Esplanade to the city centre. Friendly, helpful staff. Only thing we didn't like was the step right in the middle of our room, even though we were on a ground floor room we still had to negotiate a big step. Chairs were very uncomfortable and no microwave or toaster just a... More

It was clean and had everything you wanted. A lot of the hotel was closed during our stay as it was easter which I was not expecting. It was a basic hotel but the staff were friendly but after our last hotel it was a bit of a let down. Breakfasts were good. It would be great if you were... More

Found this Gem quite by chance when in Cairns on business. A local colleague suggested it for Lunch and had the pleasure of meeting the Managers Klaus & Lyn Ullrich the food and hospitality was fantastic. My flight later in the day was canceled so I returned and stayed the evening. Rooms clean spacious and value for money, the internet... More

For the money, I think this hotel is pretty good value. We stayed on 2 different occasions in March and paid different prices each time. The 1st time we got quite a small room, but it was clean and everything worked fine. The 2nd time we paid a bit more and got a much larger room upstairs and it had... More

The Bay Village Tropical Retreat was a nice place to stay in Cairns. The location is a bit outside of the city center, but it was not a hard walk to get there along the Esplanade. It takes about 20mins to walk. I stayed in a standard room and found it very clean and comfortable. The room was not overly... More

A great place to stay if you don't mind a 20 minute stroll into town, which we didn't. Set back on a street parallel to the Esplanade means you're not too far from the town but far enough away for some peace and quiet. Staff here were absoluely excellent, helpful from the airport pick up, to directions, to restaurant suggestions,... More

The room I stayed in was clean and quite spacious. The bathroom was also clean and decent size. I had microwave, mini fridge, kettle, toaster, cutlery, dining table and chairs in my room. The staff were very helpful and nice. They do transfer from/to the airport. It's about 15-20 mins walk to the marina/city center, but I didnt mind as... More

We stayed at the Bay Village Tropical Retreat twice over the Christmas holidays; in two separate units, one before and one after a four day live aboard scuba trip to the Great Barrier Reef. We wanted space, comfortable beds for our group of 5 adults, good showers and in-unit laundry facilities. We got the space and laundry facilities in their... More
