Reviews for Cairns Colonial Club Resort

We enjoyed a lovely 9 night stay here at the Cairns Colonial Resort. The rooms were just lovely and serviced daily. Very happy with the level of service provided. We utilised 2 of the 3 pools available and they were just amazing after a long day out travelling around to come back and relax with a swim. Car parking was a little tight over the weekends as they are very busy then but was still able to get our hire car into a close car park. The gardens were lovely to walk around, and we had breakfast and dinners in the Flamingo restaurant which was just delicious. The Pizza and pasta restaurant was also a hit with my family too. Will definitely be booking another holiday to this resort.

As a local family juggling stressful jobs and a busy schedule, we were looking for a relaxing escape close to home—and Cairns Colonial Club Resort delivered beyond our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for, making it the perfect spot to unwind and spend quality time together. The room was clean and renovated, modern, and incredibly comfortable—exactly what we needed for a peaceful night’s rest. The food was outstanding, with every dish tasting fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Special mention to Matthew, the operations manager, exceptional customer service. He greeted every guest with genuine warmth and went above and beyond to ensure everyone, including us, was having a great time. It’s clear he takes pride in creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Our son had a blast too, which made the experience even more special for us as parents. We’re so lucky to have a place like this right in our community. If you’re a local family looking for an stress-free getaway, we highly recommend Cairns Colonial Club Resort —it’s a gem we’ll definitely be returning to! Big Thank you! Fabio and Family

Our family of 5 stayed here as a quick break to celebrate before the busy season. The reception location and staff were friendly and welcoming. Beyond that we found the resort to be tired and in need of attention. Our room was compact and clean despite the parades of ants but not much more than a motel room. No outdoor space or niceties. Outlook was a driveway and very little privacy from surrounding units. Pools were almost murky and not enough pool towels available. Each time we used the pool it was full of people who thought it was their private pool for their own family party rather than for all the guests. Gardens around the resort filled with litter and cigarette butts or weeds. On our second night we arrived home to a bag of garbage at our front door, loud neighbours and the continuous smell of cigarette smoke wafting in from others not following the rules. Not at all a four star experience. The resort is large and sprawling and I feel could do with some roaming security guards. We won’t return here again and wished we had known more before booking.

I recently stayed at the Colonial Club Resort in Cairns and enjoyed the overall experience. The resort has a lovely atmosphere, and the amenities are excellent. However, I would appreciate it if the room service could be improved. There were a few occasions where the service fell short of expectations. Enhancing this aspect would definitely elevate the guest experience. Despite this, I had a pleasant stay and would consider returning in the future.

Great experience, room was clean, they even set up a portable cot for us ready to go when we got to the room. Fantastic for families. It's close to the city if your planning to go in to the city. We booked a superior room. It's great that there is food and beverages on site. Breakfast, lunch and dinner sorted. Go cart and mini golf on site. Playground for the kids. Pools are great. Very reasonably priced for families. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be staying again.
