Bungalow is a suburban area in the Cairns region of Queensland. This lovely area is close to the city of Cairns, and the perfect place to stay if you want a break from the hustle and bustle. But it is not inconvenient - many shops and restaurants line the streets of Bungalow and it is also only five minutes by car (Uber and city taxis are also available) to the centre of Cairns.
Cairns is home to the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics World Heritage Rainforest, so divers and nature lovers will find this place a paradise. While the Bungalow neighbourhood plays host to a few top hotels to stay in, a well-furnished vacation homestay will give you a unique experience. Come start your vacation in Cairns by staying in one of our selected Airbnb vacation rentals in Bungalow, Australia, today!
