Find out more about Kuranda

Discover cheap things to do in Kuranda

For budget-conscious travellers, Kuranda, Queensland, offers an array of exciting activities and attractions that won't break the bank. Start your exploration at the Kuranda Koala Gardens, where you can get up close with Australia’s iconic wildlife, including koalas and kangaroos; entry fees are reasonable and the experience is unforgettable for families. The Kuranda Scenic Railway is a must-do, providing stunning views of the rainforest, and while it's worth splurging on a ticket, consider taking the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway for a more affordable yet equally breathtaking journey through the treetops. For a taste of local culture, the Kuranda Markets are a vibrant hub of craftsmanship and cuisine—stroll through the stalls and enjoy free live music, with plenty of affordable snacks to sample. Don't miss the Barron Falls, where you can enjoy a picturesque hike that is entirely free, with some of the best views in the area. For budget-friendly accommodation, look towards the area surrounding the markets, where quaint motels and guesthouses often offer special deals for families. Staying here means you're just a short walk from the heart of Kuranda, allowing for spontaneous explorations and easy access to all the local delights.

"Good hotel in a great location, quite big but had a personal touch as the staff were very helpful. Although we were on a floor that had not been refurbished, the room was clean, large and had everything we needed, would recommend staying here."

8/10 Good
"Fantastic location, great amenities and very helpful staff. The rooms were serviced daily and items were replenished according to your preferences. Breakfast buffet had a good selection of food and drink and was good value for money. The hotel room was very clean. Only downside was that some elements of the hotel look a bit tired (eg the outside walls, some of the paintwork and soft furnishings) and could do with a refresh. Overall would recommend and would stay again."

"Great location. Dated but functional , large clean ,rooms. No block out blinds so room is very lit up from carpark lighting at night and early morning sun through the plantation shutters common to this area. If you need darkness to sleep , bring a mask If you want fresh air ,have to jam the front door open as not opening front windows. ( room has excellent ceiling fan and good A/c )"
