My wife and I stayed at Kookas B&B when we visited Cairns, Australia and the Great Barrier Reef and it was a great place to stay. The owner, Marlies, and her "Crew" could not do enough for us. The accommodations were private with a porch, access to their in-ground swimming pool and a great view of the ocean. Marlies picked... More

Lovely spot away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We enjoyed every morning a delicious breakfast with magnificent views over the surroundings. Our room was comfy, super clean and very spacious, the Lindt chocolate bonbons in the fridge a sweet welcoming attention. Marlies and Bruno did everything to offer us a pleasant and relaxing stay. Thank you guys!

We arrived at this lovely house, which is in a great location, to a less than warm welcome by the owner Marlies. Although the house could not be faulted, we felt that we were intruding. We never worked out what it was, but we thought it may have been because we were English rather German. On the day we were... More

As a solo traveller I was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded from a single to a double room at no extra cost, simply because it was available.

Wonderful accommodation,in a very nice suburb of Cairns. Marlies organised my Great Barrier Reef tour which was wonderful ! Being a runner back in the UK it was ideally placed for my runs up Mount Whitfield and the Botanical gardens too. Nice restaurants and takeaways in the suburb too.
