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.

This was a lovely family orientated campground with a great backdrop of the hills behind Cairns and lots of bird life in the trees. The bathroom was nice and modern and very clean. The laundry facilities were also excellent. There is lots to do here with pools, waterpark and golf. Pizza at the bar was also really good.

The central dam is effectively the size of a small lake, creating an immediate and impressive bird habitat. We were lucky to watch Brolgas, jacannas, and other waterbirds feed and rest along its edges, offering excellent viewing. The retreat is incredibly peaceful but remains conveniently close to the amenities in Mareeba. This provides a perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Brook was a lovely host who gave excellent recommendations for local sightseeing. Highly recommended for a peaceful stay with great birdwatching.

What a beautiful place you provided for us to set up in Tracey. The site was a good size, flat and very private. I particularly loved the sunflowers and the vegie garden you have created and shared with us. The space was perfect as it was situated only about 150m from the beach and local cafe, which we frequented each morning. Tracey was very easy and friendly to communicate with and gave us very clear directions on accessing the site. Thank you for a wonderful week in which we visited friends in both Cairns and Palm Cove. We also managed a game of golf at the local course in Yorkeys Knob which was only a 10 minute drive. Everything we needed was at our finger tips. We will definitely be back if we are up this way. Thank you again Tracey.

Such a great spot. Very private & well kept. Tracey was great to deal with. We'll be back if we're ever up in the area again. So much nicer than staying in a Caravan Park & we loved the Veggie Garden. Thanks Tracey.

Quite private as only two sites . Lovely herb garden . Walking distance to beach. Across the road is a laundromat open early till late and eating venues across the road - only open evening hrs. Bar and cafe beach front only open breakfast and lunch . The closest dump point is in Cairns city. Tracey was very friendly, informative and obliging, swopping sites around so we could stay longer. The site was a bit difficult to get into -had to back in through a narrow gate way so driver needs to know how to reverse. Site A the easiest but Site B most private.
