“I see a family-friendly hotel in Cairns, with spacious rooms and private balconies, a gorgeous pool, and an award-winning restaurant, Harbourside Bar & Kitchen, with an extensive wine selection. The tropical grounds are lush, and the location on the Esplanade is ideal for enjoying the bay views and the nearby attractions; families, in particular, will appreciate that children under 12 stay and eat free. It seems to me a solid choice, especially for vacationing families.”
