Accommodation Options for Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride Participants
If you do not want to camp (included in the registration fee), then you have several options for where to stay at the end of each day on the Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride.
Staying Outside Rodeo Grounds
If you prefer not to stay overnight at the rodeo grounds, you may book accommodation at local motels, hotels, or other lodging. Please note:
-
All bookings and payments for off-site accommodation are the responsibility of the participant.
-
Accommodation can fill up quickly, so it’s best to reserve early.
Accommodation at the Finish – Karumba Point
The ride concludes at 2pm in Karumba Point. Riders must arrange their own accommodation for Friday, 3rd of July 2026. Options include:
-
Booking a hotel, motel, or other local accommodation (early booking is essential as rooms sell out fast).
-
Choosing to camp overnight at the Karumba Recreation Centre, located about 8 km from the Sunset Tavern at Karumba Point.
Transport Between Locations
To make it easy for participants:
-
A bus service will run on Friday afternoon, transporting riders from Karumba Point to the Sports Centre.
-
The same bus will also take participants wishing to join other riders at the Sunset Tavern for a celebration dinner on Friday evening.
Plan Ahead for a Smooth Finish
Whether you choose to camp or book a motel in Karumba, planning your Cairns to Karumba accommodation early will ensure a stress-free finish to this unforgettable cycling adventure.
Alternative accommodation options (Please note that booking and paying for accommodation outside the rodeo grounds is the responsibility of individual participants who choose this option.)
