We stayed from Nov 12 to 17th in a 2 bedroom apartment overlooking the pool and ocean. We had a wonderful time in this holiday apartment and had everything we needed - and there were loads of nice touches - like coffee, tea bags, some milk etc and dishwasher tablets. Having laundry in the unit was a major plus! Loads of beautiful birds and fruit bats can be seen from the balcony! I really truly appreciated this place for our time in Cairns.

Staff were friendly. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable. Stove top didn't work but that was fixed the next morning. Nice pool for a swim. Travelled with one adult and two teenagers. We thought it was nice.

Nice place to stay A little dated, but nice place to stay. Right across from the esplanade. Short drive or a 20 minute walk into the heart of the city. Would stay again.

Really nice room with nice views. Close to shops and can walk to most tourist spots and nice walking along the esplanade. Planes do fly over during the day but didn’t really bother us. Can highly recommend

We checked in over the weekend; staff wrote me to inform they aren't at the desk on weekends but sent great detailed information on how to check in. Nice location, quiet and next to a hotel which made for easy pick ups for tours that offered it. There were three of us and we all slept well, enjoyed the view and appreciated having a clean place to come back to. We only got one key, so on the day we split up we had to arrange amongst ourselves who would have the key and ensure they were home so we could be let in. That was easy enough for us to do, but may have asked for a second key if we were staying longer. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Convenient location 2km from cairns centre lovely walk into cairns easy to find. Apartment had what it needed dishwasher, kitchen equipment and was provided with wash towels etc. complimentary coffee and tea. Kitchen hob a bit slow to cook with and the oven I didn’t understand how to use. One towel per person given so had to wash and dry ourselves which the apartment had. Settee bed quiet comfortable two twin beds and a double room Apartment is shabby and needs a good paint. A bit dated. Cockroaches seen in twin room and bathroom. Good car park facility and secure gate. Pool facilty super, lagoon tropics style clean and nice.

Great Communication prior to our stay. Clear instructions on how to enter premises and check in. Two bedroom apartment was spacious for our family of 5, including 3 teenagers. Cooking facilities were in good working order and the full size fridge with freezer was great. Laundry in apartment was very handy for washing and drying towels and was stocked with laundry detergent. One more roll of toilet paper would have been great 😃
