Eat, Drink & Play in Cairns

When you're visiting a city for the first time, there's nothing better than getting tips from a local on where to eat, where to shop, and for unique suggestions beyond the usual guide book inklings!

We caught up with fashion designer Grace Lillian Lee for her insider scoop on Cairns.

Food

Eato's – Eato’s is a not-for-profit organisation that gives people who are unemployed the opportunity to work in a cafe environment. And the food is really, really, really good!

After Dark

Salt House – Salt House has that relaxed Cairns vibe. Grab the kiwi cocktail and listen to the local musicians playing live.

Play

Red Arrow Walk – Strolling the Red Arrow Walk to look over Cairns is a great way to appreciate the stunning city.

Day Trip

Port Douglas – The one-hour coastal drive from Cairns to Port Douglas along the Captain Cook Highway has to be one of the most fantastic scenic drives in Australia, with plenty of places to stop and take in the views.

Secret Tip

Insider info – Crystal Cascades is a secluded freshwater swimming hole that only locals know about. The series of small waterfalls, hidden in Redlynch, flows into large pools surrounded by oversized boulders.
