Great for a family stay, particularly if you have younger children that will want to spend time in the pool. The hotel is a bit away from the more bustling parts of Cairns, but we were able to get picked up for some of the tours we took. Otherwise, it is a quick Uber to anywhere you want to go.

Excellent location in nice, quiet residential area in natural setting (you can hear and see the birds), near a walkpath alongside Lily Creek and John Egan public park. Shortcut on Charles St to access McLeod or Sheridan (Captain Cook Hwy). Short walk to Martyn and Shearer St bus stop for #123, which accesses 3 shopping center (Piccone's, Raintrees and Cairns Central, which is the end of the line), each has a supermarket, otherwise, check out kiosk at reception. Walking distance to Annabelle's...

I really enjoyed my stay at the Espy! I’d just finished up a long study abroad program that was mainly camping so I had a ton of gear to carry around with me. Luckily they let me drop my bags off before check-in and keep them there after check-out before I left to the airport.
I got a private room and it was probably the best deal in cairns! It’s pretty simple, but has everything you need for a short stay. One tiny thing I couldn’t figure out was the bathroom light that never turned on for me,...
