Just returned to the UK after our month-long tour of Australia, during which we stayed in a lot of hotels and apartments in a range of grades. Without doubt the most memorable and the one we would most wish to return to is the Tropical Heritage. The reception we received from Rosemary and her staff was second to none, and... More

Booked 3 nights from the U K & when we arrived Rosemary gave us an upgrade which meant we had lounge, bedroom & bathroom which were all well up to standard. As others have commented, this is a no frills hotel, just good clean basic accommodation at the right price. Also, as mentioned, you get Rosemary who is a real... More

Thank you for taking time to write a review. I think it is fair to say that we offer good, clean, affordable, safe accommodation. We should be judged on this basis and not as five star property - I myself, would elect to stay in a similar hotel anywhere in the world and I am sure that 90% of the... More

I know there's been a lot written about stars concerning this hotel property. First and foremast is Rosemary and her staff. They make you feel welcome and a part of their family. When I asked Rosemary how long it would take to walk to the dock area to take our snorkeling tour, she offered to drive us. If Rosemary could... More

You are quite correct - star ratings can be very deceiving, the fact is there are various categories of hotels/motels and it is impossible to have what is described as a 2 3 or 4 star hotel provide what is available in a 5 star property. The Heritage endeavours to meet the middle which is the bulk of the travelling... More

We only stayed two nights in Cairns, which probably wasn't enough, but this hotel was a perfect base. Nothing was too much trouble, the room was comfortable and well furnished, the facilities were all we needed. Rosemary, the manager, is a great asset with lots of useful advice and was only too happy to drive us to the station at... More

You couldn't ask for a friendlier welcome than at the Heritage, and we were even offered a lift down to the marina one morning. Rooms are perfectly fine and there is filtered water and 2 hours' free internet access (not wifi) available at Reception. Don't expect a view – this is within the city – but our room at least...

For what it is and the pricing, this is an excellent value. The manager who runs the property is one of the most delightful and helpful people around. The hotel is pretty basic and the breakfast is really basic. However the price makes it all worthwhile. There is no reason for spending the money on a waterfront hotel - there's... More

As you can see, the positive reviews speak for themselves. The Heritage is amongst the most popular hotels in Cairns, not because it is a large franchise run property, but simply because the Management (Rosemary) personally takes a lot of time to ensure guests make the most of their stay in Cairns and the facilities are excellent. I am always... More
