Good location. Although a good 20 mins to the marina it's flat so easy to manage a brisk walk. Staff very helpful. Stayed in the 3- bed townhouse with 3 bathrooms - excellent with plenty of room.

There was an ant infestation in the rooms. They were all over the walls and floor. There were also insects coming up from the drains. They appeared to be roaches and small flies. Additionally, the smoke detector went off the entire first night. We did not sleep at all. We reported it to the office. They sprayed the room for the ants and fixed the smoke detector the next day. However we lost one entire night of sleep. They did not provide hair conditioner or shower gel. They provided small soaps that seemed old because they crumbled in my hand. I would not recommend this place.

It’s the small things that make a difference! Half a dozen dishwasher tablets rather than one! A bottle of washing up liquid rather than a sachet. A towel and bed sheet change during the stay, all practical but help keep the property in good order!

Great accommodation with extremely helpful and lovely staff. Property well maintained. Only complaint would be the pillows but that’s because I’m a pillow snob. Very enjoyable and central to everything. Highly recommended.

Spacious but Slightly Inconvenient The apartment is very spacious, and the beds are comfortable, making for a pleasant stay. However, it’s a two-storey unit, and reaching the central area of Cairns for dining and activities requires a walk of over 10 minutes. Communication regarding our late check-in was clear and well-handled.

Lovely property. We hadn't realised this was a second floor duplex, but simple and comfortable. No issues with room,cairns con in bedrooms. Staff were lovely and very helpful. About ten minutes walk from main street and lots of coffee houses and restaurants within ten minutes on an Uber.

The owners thought of special things like salt and pepper available, all kitchen items, clothes horse as not everyone wants to use the dryer. Easy walking to shops. Maybe have a map in unit for those late check ins as the map we got from reception after 3 days there was great. Maybe leave a note to warn rentals about leaving food/honey/sugar out, as ants around.
