From a former local who returns home a few times a year

Riley a Crystalbrook Collection Resort

Resort hotel · Cairns City

It is as beautiful as it looks. Modern, sleek, luxe - plan to spend plenty of time lounging by and in the pool

Nu Nu

Australian restaurant · Palm Cove

It's impossible to beat a table on the deck at Nu Nu. My favourite spot for a long, delicious lunch shared with friends.

The Chambers

Cafe · Cairns City

Your first stop for breakfast in the CBD, get a savoury and a sweet to share. The cold brew is particularly good

Noa

Restaurant · Edge Hill

Lunch, Breakfast, Dinner - the ultimate go-to. I still constantly think about the 'Downtown Love' Margarita. Definitely book ahead.

Red Arrow

Hiking area · Edge Hill

The most iconic walk (or run!) in the Far North. Its only a 1.5km but those steps paired with the humidity will get you every time! For more of a challenge add on the blue or yellow arrow.

Teddy Espresso

Coffee store · Edge Hill

A coffee shop that nails their core product. It's Cairns so I can't think of getting anything but a heavily iced cold brew!

Three Wolves

Cocktail bar · Cairns City

Fancy cocktails in a laneway, but you can wear shorts. What more could be more 'Cairns'?
