Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort

The pool is really great. It gets nice sunlight and has a bar and sand for the kids to play in. All the Staff including room service staff were great and helpful. The location is pretty good too.

Staff - everyone was wonderful, very friendly and helpful Room - we had a queen bed and a single bed. Size of room was good. Enjoyed the balcony. Bathroom was a good size. All very clean. Mini fridge in room was a plus. Pool - amazing. We loved it. The sand was so fun for our toddler. On the weekend there are kids activities and items for them to play with. Swim up bar was fun. We wished there were more pool noodles during the week, only saw them on the weekend. Restaurant and bar - great food. Breakfast is worth the money. Great variety of vegetarian options and meats. A few items change daily but mostly the same staples. Coffee machine was great but sometimes a line. Had drinks at the pool bar and other bar on site, all the staff were friendly and drinks were great. Parking - easy to find a spot, paid. Laundry - paid, self service, in a room in the parking area Location - we walked all over downtown Cairns from our hotel. Aquarium is next door. Playground at Muddys was about 10 mins walk. About 15 mins walk to the marina for boats to GBR. We ordered doordash and they found the hotel easily and we also walked to restaurants 5-10 mins walk. Woolworths was about 7 mins walk and Coles and Woolworths at Cairns Central was about 14 mins walk

The perfect stay for families with children! This hotel goes above and beyond to ensure all family members can enjoy their stay. The buffet breakfast was great with lots of variety, as were the dinner options in the evening. The movie nights for kids as well as free daily kid’s activities were also an added bonus. Located centrally in the city, the lagoon, Hemingway’s and the reef jetty for island tours were all within walking distance. Yaya’s is also a great Greek restaurant around the corner. Highly recommend hiring a car for at least a day to check out Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures, the Skyrail, Port Douglas and Palm Cove which are all between 30mins - 1 hour away. We also loved our tour of Fitzroy Island. The best part of the Novotel was the pool area - a standout for the whole family! Highly recommend.

The location is perfect walking distance to most of the attraction and restaurants . Cairns Aquarium is only at the back of the hotel, and Esplanade is just a few minutes' walk , where you can book some reef cruises. The area is peaceful and quiet. The pool is great as well as the people. They are all helpful and courteous. Special mention to Mr. Japanese reception who went all the way to our room to help me with the casting.

The pool, the grounds and the location. Great for kids. I would recommend.
