Excellent location & lovely hosts

My partner and I had a fantastic time staying at Kay & Ross’s apartment. It is meticulously clean and has a well equipped kitchen. The location was fantastic being above the night market, with restaurants, the esplanade, and marina close by. We enjoyed having breakfast on the balcony while taking in the water views. There’s also a tourist desk on the ground floor. Kay & Ross made us feel welcome, which was a lovely start to our holiday! Look forward to staying again.

Perched over Cairns Foreshore

Terrific central location. Lovely open space that connected us to the outside world via balcony and large window. Views to Mt Yarrabah (Trinity Inlet), the foreshore and hills behind airport were quintessential FNQ. Local bird watching from apartment was fascinating. Was also fun to watch the everchanging parade of people and dogs along the foreshore. Lots of extras like pool, gym, tour desk. Kay was quick to respond to any correspondence. She and Ross' approach certainly contributed to this being a special and relaxing time. Highly recommended.

Perfect In Every Way

Everything was just perfect. Kay provided excellent communication before and during our stay. The apartment was spotless and provides a great view of the water. The location provides a host of restaurants of diverse cuisines within a 2-block radius. Bernie downstairs provided all of our bookings which departed from our location. The bus system is easy to use and is just a block away. As a result, we never needed to rent a car. The Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest, Kuranda and the Cairns Botanical Gardens were spectacular. We enjoyed perfect 24-degree weather throughout our 18 days. The apartment provided all that we needed and then some. Thank you for everything.

Terrific apartment with 10 out of 10 views, location and owners!

Awesome Property in the best location possible, right on the Esplanade with all the restaurants right below it and a very short walk to Woollies and the Marina for your Reef Tours. The tour buses for Cape Tribulation and the Daintree Tours pick you up right below the hotel and free parking is included at the apartment. The managers were extremely helpful and friendly and will even pick you up from the Airport if they can. We will definitely be back!

We can not recommend Kay & Ross’ property highly enough. It is located in the heart of the Cairns Esplanade area, close to the many cafes and restaurants, including the fabulous Night Markets, and easy walking distance to the Marina. The apartment is well appointed with everything you require for a success stay. Kay and Ross kindly picked us up from the airport too.

Paradise

Exceptional view. Close to everything. Parking included was a bonus! Just be aware that it is in a central location so there will be noise on the weekends. Also the noise from the exhaust fans in the neighbouring building was annoying at first but it’s amazing how quickly it becomes white noise! We stayed four nights and were less aware of the noise by the second day. The apartment is in an older building and it is not built to be sound proof so there was hall noise and chair scraping from upstairs audible. Still this did not distract from our overall enjoyment. The unit was exceptionally clean and well kitted out with all the necessities. The round shower/ spa was quite different but worked really well.... no water splash onto the bathroom floor. Just be aware that you need to be able to climb in and out of the spa bath to take a shower ... so it would not suit people who are not agile.

About the host

Hosted by Kay

Host profile image
Ross and I are happily married living at Palm Cove but love going to this apartment as our get away holiday destination. We also enjoy traveling and motor homing whenever we have the chance.

Why they chose this property

We chose this apartment as we loved the position being to the front of the building and facing north east. We looked at higher levels but felt we were disconnected from the view of the esplanade. With our apartment on level 5 we still have an amazing view of the water all the way to Green Island but at night we could still have a great view of the activity on the Esplanade below.

What makes this property unique

It is not often you are able to also have a window in an apartment like we have. The bedroom is of a decent size with a door closing off the rest of the apartment enabling a peaceful nights sleep
