About Cairns accommodation

Affordable stays in Cairns

Whether you’re saving all your cash for activities and eats in Cairns or are just travelling on a tight budget, there’s plenty of quality options for you to book into.

And sticking to a budget doesn’t always mean you won’t be able to stay near top attractions like Cairns International Airport (CNS), Cairns Esplanade, Cairns Central Shopping Centre, Port Douglas Wharf and Shipwreck Museum, Esplanade Lagoon, Palm Cove Beach, Reef Hotel Casino, Cattana Wetlands, Crystal Cascades, Barlow Park. It’s just about finding the right balance between location, amenities and price! But 109 Traveloka travellers can’t be wrong, and these cheap hotels in Cairns still average out at 8.8/10 in customer reviews.

Tips for finding cheap hotels in Cairns

Some places are certainly easier for finding budget-friendly accommodation than others, but luckily there are cheap hotels in Cairns just waiting to be booked by you. Traveloka offers plenty of filtering options when searching to help you find the cheapest stay, whether you’re looking in Cairns or anywhere else in the world. Here’s what to do:

  • Use the “Price range” filter. This can get you results for what you define as “cheap” as what’s budget friendly to you, may not be to someone else. 
  • Next, to make sure stays still meet any minimum expectations, you can also add filters for the star rating and guest rating to make sure you’re seeing the best of the best in Cairns
  • Finally, we offer a “Sort by: Lowest Price” option, so you can see the absolute cheapest price for everything that meets your criteria

When to stay in Cairns for the cheapest hotel prices

It’s best to keep in mind seasonality both where you’re coming from and where you’re going; just because it’s not a holiday for you, doesn’t mean it’s definitely not a holiday in Cairns.

Avoid travelling to Cairns during these times:

  • School holidays: Avoid travelling during school holidays as this is peak season for families on the move
  • Christmas/New Years: A popular time for both families and those with shut-down periods over the holidays, prices tend to soar in late-December and early January
  • Long weekends: Those looking to save on a bit of annual leave or take a short break may head over to Cairns at this time, which increases demand and pricing

Why book your Cairns hotels on Traveloka

Of course we’d love for you to book all your hotels in Cairns with us, but we have some pretty great reasons you should too. 

  • Exclusive discounts: We often run Traveloka-only deals that you won’t be able to use if you book your stay directly with the hotel. This could be a coupon code for a discount or lower-rates for multi-day stays

  • 24/7 customer service: If you’re unsure about something in your booking and aren’t in the same time-zone as your hotel, no worries! Our customer care team is available around the clock no matter where in world you are or your hotel is

  • Member perks: Every stay, flight, activity and anything else you book through the Traveloka earns you points that you can use toward future stays at Cairns hotels

Cairns Plaza Hotel
Clean, comfortable and spacious room. We stayed in the standard double queen room and it was spacious enough. Reception staff were friendly. Hotel was right across Muddy 's playground but may take a while to walk to the central area with 2 young kids. Laundry was AUD4 per wash and AUD4 per dryer cycle, closed after 10pm. Recommended especially if you have a rental car.

Gilligan's Backpackers Hotel & Resort
This is a party place which means music very loud everynight up until 2 am. The drain in the shower was clogged, the AC can't be turned off or changed and there 's no space to put you stuff in the room, no shelves, no curtains, no personnal lamp. This place really is just for very short stays, for having fun at the club which makes the check-out at 10am outrageous, it should be 11am instead.
