Nestled in lush landscaped gardens, this club resort is located at the foot of Whitfield Mountain Range. This property is 6 kms from the city centre, a 5-minute walk to the nearest bus stop and 8 kms from Cairns Airport. The hotel is a 150-room resort-style property, which surrounds a landscaped courtyard of lush, tropical gardens and swimming pools. All rooms are well-appointed and have balconies overlooking the swimming pools and gardens. Rooms are furnished with king-size beds. There are two tropical swimming pools at the hotel, a beach-style swimming pool and spa and a 25 metre lap pool. The hotel is an ideal base from which to discover tropical North Queensland's reef, rainforest and outback.
