Liked: Amenities
Place was clean but was really stingy, with the price we paid, they wanted us to clean the place and take the rubbish out or the it would be a 55 dollar fee, plus had very little soap with no body wash, shampoo or conditioner. If the place was cheap per night it would make sense but for a little extra I saw you could go up the read to the Novotel. Would only recommend this place if you get a deal, if not there are plenty more nicer places to stay at for a cheaper rate

This is a budget friendly property with basic but adequate amenities including washer and dryer in the one bedroom apartment we stayed in. It’s quiet at night and we enjoyed the pool area in the afternoons to read and relax. It’s in a good location, close to the esplanade, buses, restaurants, aquarium etc and you can get to anywhere in Cairns central on foot from here.

Week stay in Cairns

Apartment itself was great, good location with a pool. Air conditioning worked and kept entire room cool. Bathroom standard, did the job, only complaint was the bed was a bit uncomfortable as it was 2 twin beds pushed together, so middle wasnt great on the back. In general though, room was fine, and would stay here again

Great place to stay

Great location, walking distance to restaurants and esplanade. The rooms amenities were great. Having our own washing machine and dryer was very handy especially since we were in Cairns for a week long sporting event. Secure parking was an added bonus

Property was not what we booked it was awful the bedding (mattress and pillows were heavily stained our daughter stayed one night the bed they supplied for her was torn and heavily stained, she woke during the night with multiple bites on her arm and legsI reported this and the mattress was passed on to another guest. The bathroom tap dripped . The Lino flooring was lifting and everything else was past its use by. We were told not all rooms are nice like the one we actually booked and didn’t get and basically told bad luck . We had a chain smoker above us and smoke came in our room. We couldn’t get a refund so were stuck. David

The studio was large and clean, we liked the security screens on the patio door and window so we could leave them open and get fresh air. the only problem was there was a smoker in a lower room and we could smell smoke when they lit one up on their patio
