Beautiful location next to Barron River and back drop of Barron National Park cliffs.Peaceful area away from tourist and busy Cairns, but still easy to get to everything,by car or bus.Cabin was clean and comfortable with lovely greenery around. Recommend for nature lovers and family. If you want nightlife go elsewhere. This is for those who want a good quiet base after a busy day exploring Cairns and surrounds.We started off catching a bus to Smithfield and Cairns then got a hire car to drive around to other areas. But you can easily catch buses everyday to connect to other area buses.Go off season for bargain rates, I paid $50 per night for a cabin with an ensuite,we loved it! Came with its own family of gheckos and brush turkeys visiting too!

Approximate cost: $50-$100 per night for cabins
