Get up close to some of our most loved national animals and enjoy an unforgettable day out with the family at the Kuranda Koala Gardens, just 35 minutes drive from our Cairns holiday apartments.

Tucked away within a lush rainforest setting, the small but fascinating wildlife park is home to a diverse selection of Australian mammals and reptiles. As you explore, eastern grey kangaroos, parma wallabies and swamp wallabies hop freely around you and you’ll see Australia’s most iconic bear; the koala, sleeping and eating amongst the eucalyptus. For a unique souvenir of your visit, you can have your photo taken cuddling a koala by one of the attraction’s professional photographers. Watch freshwater crocodiles basking in the sun, help out at kangaroo feeding time and a pay a visit to Australia’s only walk-through snake house to see pythons close up.
