The Backyard Cairns

The Backyard offers casual waterside dining at its very best so enjoy a refreshing drink while relax

The Backyard is located in the heart of Cairns' famous waterside dining precinct. It promises a casual dining experience with views across Marlin Marina to the mountains on the far side of Trinity Inlet. The Backyard is perfect for celebrations and there's the option to select a space in our garden - which boasts the only container bar in Cairns - or one of the undercover alfresco spaces that still deliver the signature view.
