See, Do And Stay In Cairns, Australia

Cairns is located in Australia's Far North Queensland - one of the lushest, most beautiful and natural places left in the Western - and more importantly English-speaking, and developed - world. The entire city has recently been given a facelift, to match its status an a top international holiday destination, and is now quite a fitting scene for the lovely luxury hotels in Cairns and natural wonders which you can explore from the city.

Of course, you'll need to organize somewhere to stay before you even leave your grey, ordinary day job, the daily grind of traffic and transport, and the bills that just keep arriving in the letterbox. Bloomfield Lodge is a great choice for those seeking something a little different. This boutique hotel in Cairns is a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World Association, with decor in a stark, naturally clean and pristine taste, and friendly, courteous staff. The focus at this Cairns Australia hotel is on unobtrusive service - you won't even realize until you get back home that drinks don't just magically fill themselves, and that you actually have to wash your linen yourself!

Shangri-La Cairns is the city's other option for those seeking the reassurance of a brand name hotel, as well as six-star luxury service, impeccably designed surroundings, gorgeous ocean views and a convenient location. Light, airy and spacious rooms are given the luxury treatment with Egyptian cotton sheets, a home theater system and Playstation for the kids, as well as cardio training and strength equipment (you'll need to get ready for some of the beautiful and thrilling outdoor activities!), and kid-friendly facilities at this Cairns hotel like a children's pool and table tennis tables.

For the traveler looking for a holiday with a little more than relaxation, Cairns is the perfect place from which to explore some of the world's most famous natural wonders. The Great Barrier Reef is known worldwide as a heritage listed site and the largest tropical reef of its kind. Snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing, sea kayaking, parasailing and helifishing are some of the breathtaking outdoor adventures that await, just outside your Cairns hotel doorway.

The Daintree rainforest is another sight to tempt you away from your luxury hotel in Cairns - wildlife unseen elsewhere in the world, like cassowaries and the endangered green tree frogs can be seen in pristine, untouched tropical rainforest. This is currently the most diverse ecological system in the world, with thousands of species of wildlife and birds, as well as golden rainforest beaches with calm water.

There is also the Curtain Fig Tree, a Ficus strangler vine that grew over another of its kind, and grew cascading down 15 meters to the ground below. The Babinda Boulders is a beautiful swimming hole, filled with water that is quite cool, even in mid summer. Josephine Falls and Tindoo Dam are also popular, and worth venturing out from your luxury accommodation in Cairns for!
