Edge Apartments Cairns

It would have been nice to have known there would be building works happening (drilling etc) in the complex. Came here for a bit of R&R with the kids. The bedrooms were not very clean, carpets dirty with stains. Very dusty, lots of sneezing happening at bedtime, dust ++ in the bedrooms. There were cockroaches crawling up the walls, mostly came out at night.

Self check-in and out. Reasonable price range. Clean and spacious apartments, especially for families with teenagers. No wi-fi connections - Good family quality time together. Elevator access. Overall enjoyed our stay 😊

The apartments are clean but very basic - certainly no frills and a bit soulless. It was quite noisy, with lots of traffic noise, planes overhead and other residents. It's not very central; a solid 30 minute walk to the centre, and part of it is quite dark at night so if you don't have a car I think it would be inconveniently located. Also, there is no wifi (apparently there is wifi in the 'common area' on the ground floor, but it didn't work for us at all and even if it did, I don't know where you would sit in that space to use it) and we all struggled even with our phone data, so that was a bit annoying.

Parts of the room were dated, water pressure very poor, hot water not hot enough. Had to have a shower with only hot water and only just warm

Greg's welcome was lovely and he made himself available to check me in late due to a delayed flight. The apartment is lovely. I was able to cook in the kitchen which was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this property and host. Julia

Address: 331-337 Lake St, Cairns City QLD 4870 Phone: (07) 4041 6605 If you are unfortunate enough to be allocated this unit there are things you should be advised The Edge Apartments Cairns is situated in Cairns only 220 yards from the Northen end of the Esplanade and the Coral Sea. It has 2 outdoor pools and spacious air-conditioned apartments. COMMENT In June 2023 We found our apartment 205 for 10 days to NOTt to be of 4star standard at all. PRO: The bedlinen and bathroom towels were very clean and of good quality. The air conditioning worked. The ceiling fans worked. The apartment was spacious. The fridge worked but bottom of door shelving missing. Inconvenient if you wanted to store water bottles etc. CONS: ” Each unit at the Edge has a flat-screen TV”., which was NOT working and had to be re-connected by guest. “Free Wi-Fi” NOT available in unit 205 – we were informed by office unless you wanted to stand outside of office area to connect. Apartment was dark, - lighting in all rooms inadequate and woefully dim and outdated. Lighting in laundry area was badly positioned – and here there were no instructions on how machine worked. *Vertical Blinds in poor state and need maintenance or replacement. *All doors (screen and glass sliding) need maintenance to run smoothly. *The furniture was inappropriate (apart from 2 leather sofas) and badly arranged. *The ambience was noisy. The decor throughout the apartment – wasn’t.!! Except 2 pictures hung almost at ceiling. – 1 small mirror in dark hallway., and a wall clock. (All 15 years or more in age) *No rugs or furnishings to soften the décor or the echo sounding throughout the apartment. *Coffee table in bad state. *Dining table satisfactory but serviced by 2 different types of chairs. *The bathroom needed maintenance/upgrade (and pictures I have taken show much damage to outer base of shower, mould along the wall.) *The kitchens come equipped with very basic essentials. A microwave and dishwasher., utensils for cooking on very old worn stove. “Some units have balconies with sea or mountain views”, others, like ours, at 205 had overgrown foliage with NO views. The Edge Apartments Cairns has an outdoor entertainment area with barbecue facilities and free on-site private parking. *The Rain forestation Nature Park is 11 miles from The Edge Apartments. Kuranda Scenic Railway and Skyrail Rainforest Cableway are only a 10-minute drive away.
