There was wifi in lobby but not room so this is a little inconvenient if you need it fof business or personsl use. No dryer available but there was a washer in the apartment. There is one cooktop element, kettle, coffee press, outdoor barbecues and lovely sitting areas, warm clean pool. Generally great place to stay...walking distance to night market, pier, shopping abd nany restaurants!

Great location and room

Great location and room, that is all you need to know about this location. It has a small pool and limited pool chairs but is close to the Esplanade pool where you should be hanging out anyways. The rooms are unbelievable and the central location might be the best in Cairns. Enjoy.

Great Stay

We very much enjoyed our stay. Surprisingly quiet given the central location, right across from the lagoon and above the nights market. Super helpful, friendly staff. Rooms are a bit dated but otherwise great!

Great place near the board walk

Room walls were a little unclean and the couch needed to be replaced / cleaned but other then that a great place. Weekday staff were amazingly helpful! Has an "Australian" king bed, aka two twins pushed together, not a negative as other 4/5 stars do the same; just a note to be warned.

Comfortable and Convenient

Clean, well appointed room in great location. Bit pricey but worth it for a short stay. I arrived before noon and was able to check in early which was great but they charge a half day rate for late check out. Close to reef terminal, restaurants, shopping and offer tour arrangements right downstairs.

立体がとても良く、快適に過ごせました。 ベランダが広く、眺めも良いので、夜はごはんを作ってベランダで食べました。 日本出国前にタクシーアプリをDLするのを忘れてしまいましたが、帰国日の空港行きのタクシーをフロントに専用のタクシー呼ぶシステムがあり、ボタン一つ押せば5分以内で来ました。 とても助かりました。 またケアンズ行く機会があれば、泊まりたいです。
