The apar**ents themselves were beautiful. Clean and a giant living area including a large balcony. Unfortunately the ocean view didn't include much ocean, but still nice nonetheless. Having never been to Cairns and based on other location ratings, we were disappointed to find it was a bit of a hike to supermarket and shops (especially when carrying lots of bags back in the heat). That said, has a great cafe across the road at Muddy's with yummy food and fabulous coffee. The staff were super lovely, happy and helpful. The only big downside for someone like me who struggles to sleep, the blinds are sheer and at times the street light across the road burned into my soul until all hours. Planes start heading over at about 6am and are noisy, then a very loud delivery truck arrived at the cafe across the road every morning around 6.30am. I found myself very grumpy and tired for the whole time. But if u are like my husband who can sleep through a tornado, you are sweet!
