The Quest Hotel is perfectly situated on the waterfront in Cairns. We booked the trip to The Barrier Reef and were pleasantly surprised it was just a short walk to the marina to connect with our tour boat. There is a restaurant on the roof that , weather permitting, is a lovely restaurant with evening sunset views during your meal. There is only one lift which can be a pain if t are people coming in to use the rooftop restaurant and you’re waiting for the lift to eventually arrive on the 7th floor or ground floor as a hotel guest.

The staff at Oaks Cairns were absolutely lovely, very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful room and great central location, walking distance to most activity meetups, great restaurants and shopping. I had an unfortunate experience at the Double Tree by Hilton and ended up needing a room last minute, even though Oaks Hotel Cairns had nothing to do with the poor experience at Double Tree Hilton, they gave me a free drink voucher to help improve my night. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
