Hi Malcolm,
if you are going to the area for a holiday, personally I prefer the village of Palm Cove
which is 25km north of Cairns airport.
The northern beaches strip is prettier than Cairns itself and if you have a rental car,
you can have the best of both worlds plus get out and about in the Tablelands.
There is an abundance of accommodation along there to suit a range of budgets
and some very nice restaurants.
During the eclipse we rented a beach house which also had the advantage that you
could cook if you prefer. Have a look online as sometimes there are bargains
to be had including now and then for entire luxury beach houses. We were in the
area again last August and one sensed they were anxious for tourists.
Best Regards
Gary
