Few holiday resorts compare in popularity to our award-winning BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut in Tropical North Queensland. In fact, if you looked up the definition of ‘kid’s paradise’, you’re likely to see a description of BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut. Set just seven-minute drive from Cairns’ CBD, Cairns Coconut is an 11-hectare landscaped tropical oasis that holds its own against Cairns’ popular visitor attractions – the Great Barrier Reef, Wet Tropics Rainforest, and Atherton Tablelands. Accommodation comes in a few shapes and sizes – with cabins, condos, villas, caravan sites, and camping grounds available – all with the same access to the facilities that earned Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut its gold medal in the Queensland Tourism Awards (2019). Sure, World Heritage-listed icons might lure you out of the park’s surroundings but you can expect to walk away with holiday memories of what’s inside the park’s gates too; between the two swimming pools, slides, splash park, and pedal cars. If timing your visit for school holidays, be sure to call ahead to find out what activities are planned in-park – so parents can have some well-earned downtime and kids can burn off energy. *only sites are available for pet bookings* Please note: We are unable to accommodate boat, trailer, or van storage within the park.

Few holiday resorts compare in popularity to our award-winning BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut in Tropical North Queensland. In fact, if you looked up the definition of ‘kid’s paradise’, you’re likely to see a description of BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut. Set just seven-minute drive from Cairns’ CBD, Cairns Coconut is an 11-hectare landscaped tropical oasis that holds its own against Cairns’ popular visitor attractions – the Great Barrier Reef, Wet Tropics Rainforest, and Atherton Tablelands. Accommodation comes in a few shapes and sizes – with cabins, condos, villas, caravan sites, and camping grounds available – all with the same access to the facilities that earned Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut its gold medal in the Queensland Tourism Awards (2019). Sure, World Heritage-listed icons might lure you out of the park’s surroundings but you can expect to walk away with holiday memories of what’s inside the park’s gates too; between the two swimming pools, slides, splash park, and pedal cars. If timing your visit for school holidays, be sure to call ahead to find out what activities are planned in-park – so parents can have some well-earned downtime and kids can burn off energy. *only sites are available for pet bookings* Please note: We are unable to accommodate boat, trailer, or van storage within the park.
