Lazy lizard motor inn

Lazy lizard is a place where clients comes first. The room was spotlessly clean and fresh. The swimming pool was really lovely and the garden is just gorgeous. I would highly recommend if your staying long term or short term to stay here.

Hotel's Favourite

One of my favorites.

My family of 4 just loved this place, I'd recommend it in a heartbeat. To start, Aidan is stellar. The guy has the best recommendations and a great rapport with the tour companies themselves. When he set something up it all just worked out - from a Kurunda Tour to bike hires to…

david1479, WOW! Thank you so much for your amazing 5 bubble rated review. It was an absolute pleasure to meet to you and your family. So glad that everything worked out at the doctor and that you presumably made it to the airport after your Kuranda experience!! Hope your daughter's tooth has healed? We are so thrilled to read the title of your review, one of your favourites! Let's hope you can make it back here again with the family one day. Thank you for posting your review here on Tripadvisor.

Thank you so much 202lynnek for choosing to stay with us and for extending your stay to explore more of this beautiful area. And thank you for all the chats and laughs. It was a pleasure to meet you both and hope you had a good flight home? Welcome home! Hope all went well with your end of financial year?

Wonderfully relaxed and friendly

A lovely, friendly place to stay with everything you need. A ten / fifteen minute walk into the centre of town but it’s an easy stroll (or grab a $3 shuttle) plus there is a short cut to the beach opposite the bottle shop so the water is closer than you might think! It’s not a…

Thank you Wander33309417665 for taking the time out of your travels to post your wonderful 5 bubble rated review on here. As you say, the water is closer than you think, 11 minute walk! And getting around the area is really easy and the terrain is flat. So good to read that you enjoyed our facilities and that you found it to be sparkling clean and would return in a flash!. Safe onward travels and go create more memories! Thank you again Wander33309417665. Kind regards Aidan & Alex

It says you have airport transportation. From Cairns? How does that work? Thanks.

Hi Falcons20, All that we need is a flight number and arrival time and we can arrange a seat in coach for you. It costs AU$41 per adult each way. Kind regards Aidan

we are arriving in Cairns Nov 18 for 5 nights. We have a 12 year old son and are looking to snorkle the GBR, see the rainforest, and do a safari. Reccomendations? Do you also have a room suitable for 3?

I read your hotel is named Best Western Lazy Lizard Motor Inn, but I could not find your Inn on the Best Western website. Do you have your own website? . Can people reserve directly or it has to go through the third party travel site?

Hi beenthere, From the 1st of April, we are no longer a Best Western hotel. You can find our website if you look for Lazy Lizard Motor Inn or email us directly. Unable to post web pages or email addresses on here. Kind regards Aidan

Are there any grocery stores close-by?

Hi airamelis, Coles is right in the centre of town, about a 4-minute drive from here and there is the IGA at just at the Highway when coming into town. Kind regards Aidan
