Half Moon Bay Resort

A quieter area of Yorkeys Knob, opposite the golf course and within 15 min walk of the beach. Other than a pool to sit by, time can be spent visiting Cairns and its hinterland. Shops are around the corner, and there is a nice restaurant down by the beach.

We enjoyed our 2 week stay in July 2019. It is right across the road from a fabulous golf course and close to Yorkeys Knob Boat Club, close to beach and local shops. Probably a great idea to hire a car as a major shopping centre is about 5-10 min drive. Yorkeys Knob is close to Cairns, approx 15 minute drive. It is situated on the Northern Beaches not far from Palm Cove. The Resort is very clean with a fabulous balcony and a pool which has sun on it up until about 3.30 to 4pm in the afternoon. The gardens are beautiful with many palm trees and beautiful birds chirping. The resort is in a flight path, but seriously didn’t bother us. Managers were friendly and very helpful, nothing was any trouble to them. Ellen was just lovely.. We would definitely return. Di and Peter - Geelong Victoria

The “Resort” should not be classified as a resort. It has a smaller pool than our suburban block and that was the only facility we had. The pool did not even have much room around it for relaxation. The building and furnishings were very 80’s and needed updating. Our room did not even have a screen door on the balcony entrance so we could not the door for air flow without being plagued by insects. We had issues from the noise of the planes taking off and landing nearby and the fact that they were flying overhead at a low altitude. If that wasn’t enough the hotel tariff must have been in the budget range by the number of trades people staying. This led to very big and noisy vehicles leaving early in the morning just outside our bathroom window. (No glass, just screen). With the planes still flying after 1.00am it wasn’t conducive to a good night’s sleep. The kitchen was just adequate but could have had some more cutlery as four spoons, knives and forks such as salad servers, serving spoons but we got by. The internet was another issue as even though we were the closest unit to the reception we had a very patchy internet at the best of times.
