We hold 283 venues in Cairns — 201 places to eat and 82 to stay. That makes it the 3rd-largest of the 1280 towns and suburbs we cover in Queensland, carrying 2% of the region's venues. Nationally it sits 11th out of 6,269 places.

Of the places to eat, 30% are cafés against a national figure of 30%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — Cairns eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 60 cafés, 86 restaurants, 37 takeaways, 6 bars and 12 pubs.

107 of the 201 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are coffee shop (15), burger (11) and japanese (11). Relative to the rest of the country Cairns is unusually strong on bubble tea, cake and korean — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 75 publish opening hours (27%), 7 are recorded as step-free, 10 have outdoor seating and 2 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 17% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.

For a bed, Cairns runs to 82 listings — 49 hotels, 7 motels, 1 b&bs and guest houses, 16 hostels, 8 serviced apartments and 1 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hotels dominate, at 60% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Chatswood (280), Fremantle (296), Newcastle (243) and Launceston (220) — average 7% accommodation. Cairns runs at 29%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 5 of the 283 venues in Cairns carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
