Machans Beach Hotels, Cairns

"Brilliant stay, lovely hotel and really big rooms. Lovely view, and was a pleasure to stay there. The staff were brilliant and we had a lovely stay. Would recommend it to anyone"

"Get the breakfast . It is excellent . Nice hotel in a great spot to get to laces like the marina , aquarium and night market "

"The hotel was very good and the location cannot be beaten. Covered parking and lots of restaurants nearby were very convenient. "

"did not use the breakfast bar. But did order brekkie for room service. basic eggs and bacon brekkie was superb and a good price at 28 AUD!"

"Didn't order breakfast, room clean but needs to be refurbished. Ironing board had no padding hence needed to put towel under to allow clothes to iron properly. Cost $22 to park the car. Much better places in Cairns, probably won't stay again same price or below. Bed and pillows comfortable. "

"This place was amazing. We got the family room, garden view and you were in the rainforest! Small stream, plenty of wildlife ( frogs, hopping mice, fruit bats ). Own on site restaurant plus a pizza place. Happy hour cocktails 4-5pm. 3 pools, we had a private pool late night swims recommended to avoid other people, all heated. Lovely helpful staff, rooms were large and clean. Downsides: no pay tv only free to air so either upgrade or bring a laptop. The 'locals' like to smoke alot and don't stick to the smoking areas they will smoke everywhere and seeps into your room. The mattresses very uncomfortable i had to request a mattress topper. Otherwise i would stay here again. Large and quiet!"

"Staff were great and location was good. "

"Very nice hotel. Great location, right at the seaside, next to the reef terminal, and close to the night market. Also friendly staff. Had a wonderful stay."

"The were two curtain tracks in the first room we stayed at, but only one fabric curtain. This was not a problem on the first night (although it is nice when curtain tracks overlap so there is not a gap where the curtains meet). On the second night, it was a problem as several very bright bursts of light came through the curtains throughout the night - bright enough to wake me up when I had dozed off. In our second room, there were two curtains - one made of blockout fabric and one sheer. A much better arrangement."
