Cairns Botanic Gardens Tours and Activities

Our stay at Alamanda was truly relaxing and peaceful. The beachfront location provided stunning ocean views, and the tranquil atmosphere made it easy to unwind. The spacious, well-appointed suites and lush gardens added to the overall sense of serenity. A perfect place to rejuvenate!

A wonderful stay as always the Sea temple never fails to impress and is a little slice of Paradise . If you can go for the Room with the hot tub on the roof it is well worth the extra money . Staff on reception were wonderfully helpful . Proximity to the blissful beach and beach shack restaurant is great too This is our fourth stay and I’m sure we’ll be back again soon!

We were three families with kids (children ages 8-17) staying in separate apartments. The pool was nice, and the staff was friendly. However, you would definitely need a car if you're staying here. There's no bar or restaurant, there's not even a vending machine to purchase a drink or a snack. It's NOT a five-minute walk down to the nearest shop, despite what anyone tells you (especially not in the heat with kids). The apartments feel quite remote and apart from some DVD's and board games, there's really not much for kids to do or explore in the evening. Also, could have been the time of the year (Jan) but despite the aircon being on 24/7, there was a lingering musty/mildewy smell in the bedroom/bed, plus one of the aircon's kept leaking quite a lot of water. The surrounding area was very quiet, almost like a sleepy seaside resort for retirees, so if that's your thing - then this is the place for you. If not, I would not recommend.
