Cairns Hospital is nearby, making the cottage particularly convenient for healthcare professionals, medical placements and guests visiting family or friends. The Cairns Esplanade, CBD, waterfront, cafés, restaurants and shopping are also within easy reach.
Cairns is the gateway to Tropical North Queensland, with Great Barrier Reef cruises, rainforest adventures, Kuranda and the Northern Beaches all easily accessible from your base.
Free street parking is available nearby, making it easy to explore further afield by car.
Spend the day discovering Cairns and the reef, then retreat to the privacy of Koru Cottage for a swim and a relaxed evening on your tropical terrace.
Getting Around:
Koru Cottage is well-positioned for getting around Cairns, whether you’re travelling by car, taxi, rideshare or public transport.
Cairns Hospital and the Esplanade are nearby, with the CBD, waterfront, restaurants, cafés and major attractions just a short trip away.
Free street parking is available nearby for guests with a car, making it easy to explore beyond the city. Head north to Palm Cove and the Northern Beaches, visit Kuranda and the surrounding rainforest, or set off on a day trip through Tropical North Queensland.
Taxis and rideshare services such as Uber are readily available throughout Cairns, and reef tours and excursions generally depart from the Cairns waterfront.
For maximum flexibility when exploring the beaches, rainforest and wider region, we recommend having a car.

Keeping doors and screens closed where possible will help minimise unwanted visitors.
