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.

Local Attractions:

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