Holiday accomodation in Cairns Australia

    Hi, My folks are planning a 3 week visit to Australia in Feb 09. They will be staying in Kearns (hopefully I spelled that correct). I am just wondering does anybody know if it is possible to rent out somewhere for 3 weeks to stay, such as a holiday apartment or something. They are not minted or anything and are keeping to a budget so it would have to be affordable enough. They were on about staying in a hostel but from what I hear, these are quite expensive also and they may be better off renting somewhere for the extra bit of comfort.
    Anyway I appreciate any suggestions or advice.
    Cheers.

    I assume you mean Cairns? There is a small Kearns in New South Wales though..

    Cairns is very touristy so shouldn't be a problem finding apartment style accommodation. I was slumming it as a backpacker so I don't have any suggestions.

    Have a look here http://www.virtualtourist.com/hotels/Australia_and_Oceania/Australia/State_of_Queensland/Cairns-1878548/Hotels_and_Accommodations-Cairns-TG-C-1.html

    Title changed. It'll help people figure out what you're looking for.

    We've also got a dedicated forum for all things down under, so we'll move this there too :)

    I was in Cairns over the Christmas for a couple of days and the Esplanade area/across from the lagoon is full of holiday apartments. It was really busy then but I believe it won't be as bad in February. It's a lovely city. Not your typical city but more like a big town.

    Try this website til you see anyway. I'm sure they get loads of people staying for 3/4 weeks at a time.
