Cairns Best Accommodation For New Year’s Eve
Cairns Regional Councils annual New Year’s Eve fireworks and celebrations will attract around 30,000 people to the waterfront on the Cairns Esplanade from all over the region. The live bands and roving entertainment acts kick off around 6.00pm to provide fun for all age groups.
The sky lights up at 9.00pm for the smaller children to see the fireworks and then at 12.00 midnight the fireworks shoot off again into the stratosphere to the delight of the adults.
As this is an alcohol free event a lot of visitors book a hotel room in one of the Cairns Esplanade holiday resorts and begin their New Year’s Eve celebration in the self-catering apartments at the resorts with family and friends and then wander down to enjoy the festivities on the esplanade later in the evening.
As New Year’s Eve is such a big event the hotels put in place strict terms and conditions for bookings over this festive period and these are normally a minimum number of nights stay and some behavioural policies and procedure for guests to abide by.
For your quick reference we have put together a list of the most convenient and best positioned Cairns hotels so you may book yourself a front row seat for the fireworks and the festivities to say goodbye to the last year and ring in the New Year.
