"a bit off the beaten path, but convenient to the city via local bus service. quiet, natural surrounding with great amenities and two of the greatest people you could ever meet in Tricia and Ken. very helpful and informative for our excursions to Port Douglas and Kuranda. City bus takes you to good shopping at Smithfield mall or to downtown Cairns. The bus can also take you to Trinity Beach. Smithfield Mall is an easy walk from the end of the Skyrail to/from Kuranda."
