Kairi accommodation from AU$80

For some alternatives, look at the Canopy Rainforest Treehouses and Wildlife Sanctuary and the Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat. They are 25 kilometres and 20 kilometres respectively from the main center. If these two don't meet your needs, you can try the Eden House Retreat or the Summit Rainforest Retreat.

If you want to experience some close by localities, try Lake Barrine and Peeramon. Journey 12 kilometres to the east of Kairi and you'll locate Lake Barrine. That said, Peeramon is 12 kilometres to the southeast. Lake Barrine hotels and apartments include the Chambers Wildlife Rainforest Lodges and Lake Eacham Tourist Park & Self Contained Cabins. The Bushland Cottages and Lodge and Kookaburra Lodge are some of the better ones in Peeramon.

If sport is your passion, get along to Barlow Park. It's located to the northeast of Kairi. The Edge Apartments Cairns and the Waters Edge Apartments Cairns are close to the action.

If you're transiting into or out of Cairns International Airport and plan to stay nearby, try the Vision Apartments or the Shangri-La Hotel, The Marina.
