Our stay at Cairns Holiday Park was quite enjoyable overall! The location is great, just a short drive to everything in Cairns, although there isn't much within walking distance. We appreciated the cleanliness of the ensuite and the thoughtful refresh halfway through our stay. However, the parking situation was a bit tricky due to narrow roads. The road noise and proximity to the airport were minor inconveniences but didn't spoil our experience.

We had a lovely week at Cairns Holiday Park. The ensuite site was a great feature and was refreshed midway through our stay, which was a nice touch. While it wasn't the easiest to navigate through the narrow roads, the location is convenient for accessing Cairns. On the downside, there was a bit of road noise at times, and some activities are not within walking distance.

This park offers great proximity to the city, making it easy to get around, but it does have some downsides like limited amenities and grassy areas. The customer service was fantastic, especially from Erin, who went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. The park was well-maintained with beautiful gardens and ample shade, which made our stay enjoyable despite some shortcomings in facilities.

My stay at Cairns Holiday Park was delightful! The lush gardens and well-maintained sites made for a pleasant atmosphere. The park is perfectly situated with easy access to the boardwalk and various attractions in Cairns. However, it was a bit crowded at times, and I wish there were more spacious picnic areas. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to go back!
