Your local guide to B&Bs in Cairns.
When you're in a Bed & Breakfast you feel as as if you're someone very special, and that you're lucky to have discovered a 'secret' accommodation spot. Cairns bed and breakfasts subscribe to this warmth and charm, and have additional bonuses you're unlikely to find anywhere in the world in other B&Bs.
To begin with, many are nestled in the rainforest, and not just any rainforest! Tropical rainforest accommodation is an extraordinary experience; wildlife & birdlife are abundant in Cairns so you are in for a treat. It is not uncommon to hear of a resident cassowary, a troop of regular visiting wallabies, or flocks of friendly parrots to be seen on the doorstep of many of Cairns' B&Bs. We also know of a bed and breakfast which recieves daily visits from the fabled Ulysses butterfly.
Prices, inclusions and facilities vary significantly between the different bed & breakfasts in Cairns, so look at each B & B property to see what you're paying for.
If you are a lover of bed & breakfast accommodation, you'll enjoy your stay in Cairns. There are few places with hosts near as friendly, casual or happy to assist.
