Cairns Colonial Club Resort
About
Overview & Vibe
Cairns Colonial Club Resort spreads across eleven acres of award-winning tropical rainforest gardens on Cannon Street, four kilometres from the city centre, with mountain backdrops behind the palms and three lagoon-style pools through the grounds.
Setting & Style
Ceremonies take a romantic rainforest gazebo set among the gardens, and receptions move into a purpose-built conference and wedding venue — a heritage-style reception room with period chandeliers and dramatic high ceilings, or the Lockhart Ballroom. Two dining venues, the Thirsty Flamingo and Mama Bella's, sit on the property alongside six accommodation room types, so the wedding party and guests can stay across the resort. The gardens themselves are the photography, and a wedding specialist team handles the planning.
Ideal For
Couples wanting an affordable tropical garden wedding with everyone accommodated on the same grounds.
