Kooka's Bed and Breakfast

Property Description

Peaceful Cairns bed and breakfast accommodation in Edge Hill, only 10 minutes from Cairns city centre and new Cairns Esplanade Lagoon. Your hosts, Bruno and Marlies, welcome you to Kookas Bed & Breakfast, our friendly Cairns Bed & Breakfast accommodation in the tropical north of Australia. Kookas Bed & Breakfast is a 'tropical haven'. A Swiss-style chalet nestled in the tropical foothills of Mt Whitfield.

The lush, cool surrounds of Kookas Bed & Breakfast make this the perfect place to enjoy the warm climate of North Queensland. Located in the suburb of Edge Hill, it truly is a snapshot of the tropics. In fact, only a 20 minute walk from Kookas Bed & Breakfast is the acclaimed Flecker Botanic Gardens.

It's not surprising then that Kookas Bed & Breakfast is also home to a vibrant array of native birds and Australian animals. The name 'Kookas' actually comes from the Kookaburra, a popular 'laughing' kingfisher bird that regularly drops by for breakfast.

The superb architecture of Kookas Bed & Breakfast makes the most of the property's magnificent surrounds. An inviting, open deck leads you out from the lounge and towards the expansive views of the south. Discover the refreshing pool, a real Australian barbecue, or simply do nothing at all - it's all yours to enjoy.

With 20 years experience in hospitality, we trust that at Kookas Bed & Breakfast you'll enjoy your stay as much as we enjoy your company and we wish you a safe and pleasant journey and we hope to see you soon at Kookas Bed & Breakfast.
