Wake up to World Heritage wonders

Two World Heritage-listed sites run flush against each other in Cairns & Great Barrier Reef, and you never know what you might find. You might come eye to eye with a cassowary in the dense thicket of the pre-Jurassic Daintree rainforest, or meet manta rays floating out in the Great Barrier Reef.

Have your heart set on the perfect beach holiday in Tropical North Queensland? Stay right on the beachfront in Port Douglas or Cairns' northern beaches such as Palm Cove or Trinity Beach and be first into the waters of the Great Barrier Reef every morning. Or you can venture inland to the lush heart of the Daintree, and fall asleep to the sounds of the rainforest every night.
