Cairns Harbourside Hotel
Property along the Esplanade but almost 2 miles from the Marina and shopping. Fitness facility is OFFSITE and a 10 minute walk. Rooms are very basic, although good size. Tubs (showers) are very difficult to get in and out and the faucets dripped constantly

Maybe incorporate in the price or at a reasonable price. One stop into town, no other drop off point.uber ...
