Good location for the CBD walking distance to shop, bars and restaurants. Rooms big enough but can hear a lot of noises that go on outside. Fan speed was slow or very fast which was noisy .

Great studio apartment looking over the pool. Had everything we needed and was well apportioned. Whilst not on the front it is only 10 mins walk and therefore quieter

Fantastic self contained apartments!

My husband & I booked in at the last minute for 5 nights due to a change in plans as a result of the cyclone in Brisbane. Very pleasantly surprised with the studio apartment - very clean & modern & had everything we needed, including kitchenette and washer/dryer. Great value for money too. Only a 15-20min walk to the esplanade (we walk fairly quick!) & right next door to Coles supermarket (5mins walk max!). Pools were lovely albeit it the sun bed area was quite small and didn’t leave much room for being able to walk past! Only negative was that the gyms air con didn’t work and given the heat & humidity in cairns, there was no way I could work out without aircon!

It was very close to shopping center and about a 15 minute walk to the the waterfront. Very walkable area and close to restaurents. Cost to airport was about $20 using Uber. It was a bit older property but still met our needs of doing laundry and walking around Cairns to go on tours.

Value for Money

Handy to Cairns Central for all shopping needs. Not near the water (but we didn’t pay for the view). Three stories with no lifts. Ask for the ground floor if stairs are not your thing (32 steps to the top floor!).
