The suburb is bounded to the north by the Barron River, to the east by the Coral Sea, to the south by Lily Creek, and to the west loosely by the Captain Cook Highway but with one small pocket of housing to the west of the highway. [3]

Aeroglen is located on a slope at the foot of the Mount Whitfield Conservation Park.

The Captain Cook Highway enters the suburb from the south (Cairns North) and exits to the north-west (Barron / Machans Beach). [3]

The Tablelands railway line also enters the suburb from the south (Cairns North), immediately west of the highway and exits to the west (Stratford).
