Location:
Centrally located between Sheridan & Grafton streets, in the midst of Cairns city centre, Gilligan's is the ideal base from which to explore the beautiful and tropical north. From Gilligan's, it's an easy stroll around Cairns inner-city streets lined with art & photographic galleries, shops, cafes & fine eateries.

By night, this area comes alive with cocktail bars, nightclubs, regular concerts or National Basketball League games at the Cairns Convention Centre & diverse restaurants offering everything from the finest international a-la-carte dining to fresh local seafood.

The inner-city is also home to one of the city's newest & most popular attractions - the magnificent Cairns Esplanade Lagoon lined with sandy beaches, lush grassed areas & picnic tables.

The great thing about Gilligan's is everything is at your finger tips without leaving the property.

Great Cafes for amazing coffee, bakery, newsagents, hairdressers, fashion, jewellery, day spa and to top it all off the famous Rusty's Markets where you can buy the freshest produce and sample what the tropics have to offer.
