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.

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 rooms with amenities which we were looking for - kitchen, laundry, and pool. Although it is very walkable to the CBD, some people may prefer having a car for their stay. They do have rental e-scooters for those who don't want to walk in the rainforest weather

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.

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.

Old, dark apartments. A lot of mosquitos and flies and the pool was not very tempting, we did not use it even once.
