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 😃

Spacious apartment a little walk from CBD
A little further from downtown, but walkable, opposite the Esplanade and near a playground. Lovely pool. Apartment was spacious.

Disappointing second visit.
We first stayed here six years ago and rated it quite highly. However, since that time the establishment has not been maintained well. At least three of the rooms were out of action for mould remediation works, and our room was also suffering from the effects of high humidity along the skirting boards, etc. The light switch in the bathroom was in a dangerous state and the towel rail was reattached to the door without worrying about repainting. Even the two sofas had lost all support in the cushions and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in years. Although the location is still great, this places has not aged gracefully and we won't be returning for a third visit.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice views and can walk into Cairns along Esplanade. Bus stop close by outside hospital.

Very spacious room with lots of amenities, across the road from the seafront.
Frustrating service because staff continually on lengthy phone conversations.

A bit disappointing
No-frills '80s style apartment, with minimal sign of updates since. Our "ocean view" apartment had a rather limited peep of the sea and the only natural light in the completely internal second bedroom, was from shutters between it and the kitchen. Adequate for a short stay, but it wouldn't be our first choice for a return trip.
