Hotel overview

Set along the tranquil Sims Esplanade, The Beach Place offers a relaxed 4-star stay steps from a pristine patrolled beach. This hotel caters well to families, pets, and travelers seeking a quiet coastal retreat without luxury price tags.

“Not a luxury hotel!! But a clean, tidy and affordable ‘home away from home’. We loved the ocean views, the cafe downstairs (Thursday curry club!!!) and the peace and quiet after the Cairns ‘doof doof’. If you come expecting and air bnb rather than a fancy apartment hotel you’ll not be disappointed. We were stoked to find this place, only 20 mins from Cairns and with a pristine patrolled beach over the road!!! Also, 10/10 for the barista coffee machine!”
