Cairns’ most unique and versatile event space

Gallery and event space

Perhaps you’re a business from Melbourne or Sydney looking up north for a warm and tropical conference venue in Queensland, or you’re a local looking for party venues in Cairns.

Well, we have an event space in Cairns like no other.

When first walking into Motel Nomad, the curved entrance and terrazzo tiled lobby lead you into a 120sqm multi-functional gallery and event space, with a polished concrete floor, clean white walls, open plan room, and bar.

Conference and meeting space

It is the perfect conference space in Cairns for when you’re tired of the same hotel conferences. Motel Nomad offers a space that is a breath of fresh air with natural light filtering through large colonial French doors which open on to the poolside patio, framed with palms and tropical plants.

The advantage of holding your conference in Cairns or your seminar is that our 54 rooms include 1, 2, & 3 bedroom apartments, self-contained studios and motel suites, with great accommodation discounts for group bookings.

The Laneway is the perfect space for more intimate and casual events. The hidden hole-in-the-wall cocktail bar can host up to 80 people seated with a beautiful urban environment set up with large wooden tables, AstroTurf, and muralled walls with trailing vines.

This hidden gem is the perfect spot for a unique event in Cairns, from Birthdays to comedy shows.
