    In many ways a typical place for the string of coastal villages from Cairns to Port Douglas, but the Golden Sands was notable for excellent cleanliness and maintenance. It's in a side street of a side street of perhaps the quietest town on the...

Company info

There is much to do, but if you prefer, simply turn off the clock and laze around while soaking up the balmy tropical atmosphere. You may decide on a refreshing swim in the large freeform lagoon-style heated salt-water pool or take a dip in the beach right outside the Resort, or perhaps a few sets of tennis, or even a one-on-one at the basketball ring. A round of golf at the local club might take your fancy or a stroll along the sandy beach... head south toward the estuary and there is barely any sign of civilisation; your own lost tropical paradise to be quietly awed in the face of a rising or setting sun.

Offering one and two bedroom self-contained holiday apartments, Golden Sands Resort Cairns is right on the Yorkeys Knob beachfront with only open lawns and gardens separating your holiday apartment from the long stretch of golden sand that is Yorkeys Knob beach. Soak up the ambience of a secluded lush tropical garden setting right on the beachfront at Yorkeys Knob... enjoy the tranquillity while knowing you are within easy reach of all the excitement and grandeur that Cairns and Tropical North Queensland has to offer. Laze around the lagoon style “SOLAR HEATED” salt water pool, a constant 30 degrees year round or take a leisurely 30 second stroll to Yorkeys Knob Beach, enjoy a game of tennis or basketball. Large and spacious one and two bedroom air-conditioned holiday apartments with self contained catering and laundry facilities.
