Establishment Location
Kookas Bed & Breakfast is located in Cairns, your gateway to the magnificent wonders of Tropical North Queensland; the Great Barrier Reef, World Heritage Rainforest and great Australian Outback.

Here you’ll revel in the relaxed lifestyle that makes Cairns one of the most desired travel destinations in Australia. With a year-round summer you’re assured that even the winter months are perfect for enjoying the great outdoors.

At Kookas Bed & Breakfast you’re never far from the excitement. The Esplanade re-development has made the Cairns foreshore the shrine of the city-center with an award-winning swimming lagoon, user-friendly Reef Fleet Terminal, and bustling boardwalk and shopping district.

Numerous Cairns attractions have also received worldwide recognition, including Skyrail, the world’s longest rainforest cableway and the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park. But remember there’s still another 998 day tours that operate from Cairns every single day!

While there’s so much to discover during the day, Cairns also takes on a whole new look at night. And this is the beauty of Cairns; the eclectic mix of cafes and restaurants, the hub for reef and rainforest adventures, and the infrastructure of internationally recognized English colleges.

If you’ve ever dreamt of experiencing the good life, it doesn’t get any better than this.

Restaurants and the Royal Flying Doctor Service Visitors Center are in our neighborhood, also tennis courts and Lawn Bowling Club.
