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.

Great property for a relaxing, extended stay. We were there for a week with a poolside room on the ground floor and the staff were fantastic. Our kitchen needed a few extra tools (we bought a steak knives, spatula, a fry pan, and oven mitts) but the location can't be beat and the resort area is divine.

Bathroom tile too slippery when wet.

Great location. Easy checkin. In room laundry major plus. Room was large and comfy but too cool. Not able to raise temperature made it too cool to sit and watch tv. Major negative was floor tiles in bathroom. Without grit, they were major slipping hazard whenever wet. Never should have been installed on floor. Probably why I won’t return.

A very clean confortable little suite, very well equipped with a kitchen. The free washing machine, with a poach of laundrey detergent was a big plus. Well located just off the centre of town. An easy run to the airport. reliable wifi. It is a walk up, on the 3rd floor. It is not the best area for restaurants, But you have your own little kitchen. Small pools. nice and quiet. I thought it was great. Really enjoyed it after a couple of days of wrougher accomodation
