Our small-batch cuisine is freshly prepared onboard with a simplistic and generous approach to quality and freshness, accompanied by quality Australian wine.

Surrounded by a selection of world-class shopping, entertainment, nightlife, cafes and restaurants, Cairns City Apartments are the ideal base for your next holiday or business trip.

The Woolshed is Famous Worldwide for its Great Value Meals, Table Dancing and the guaranteed party seven nights a week then gets wilder as the early hours wear on. Recently refurbished, the restaurant is on street level featuring an al fresco area, while the night club is upstairs, with the front opening onto a balcony overlooking the Fig Trees.

Orchid Plaza Shopping Centre was built in 1985, as Cairns’ newest and most prestigious shopping complex. Launched with fanfare and to acclaim, the two-storey complex was a hub for locals and visitors alike, who appreciated the ambiance, design, convenient location and diversity of experiences available.

Highway Motor Inn is an excellent base to explore the surrounding region which includes Ellenborough Falls, Cattai Wetlands, Wingham Brush Nature Reserve and the Manning Valley Beaches where you can swim, surf, fish, picnic and sunbathe. The town has a friendly environment filled with local cafes, restaurants, hotels and markets.

With our quiet and convenient location, and our friendly and knowledgeable staff, we hope to make your time in Cairns pleasurable. If you are looking for relaxing, unpretentious and economical accommodation for your stay, look no further.
