This would have to be one of the BEST units I have stayed in Cairns. Everything that you need is in the unit and the view from the Balcony is Fantastic. Quite a spectacular one at that especially at night overlooking the Esplanade. I would recommend this unit to stay if you are planning a trip to Cairns.Cleanliness 5 StarCommunication with Host 5 Star

Our stay in Cairns at Darrell’s apartment was excellent. Perfect location, great views, easy check in, outdoor eating area, fans and air con for comfort. Best of all was the supply of condiments and every day products to make the visit perfect for short stays. We would readily recommend this apartment for a visit to Cairns.

The location was perfect for being able to walk to anywhere you wanted to go. Initially finding the building was a little tricky, mostly because we weren’t familiar with the area at all, but once we found it, everything was a breeze. Highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the Cairns area!

Location is great and it is modern apartment. The main bedroom not having a window is not ideal and smells from neighbouring kitchen exhaust limited the opportunity to use the balcony in the evening.

A great stay in a great location

Being able to walk out the front and the back doors and have a range of dining options was very good. We enjoyed watching the ferris wheel and it's light display. The unit is very comfortable and has everything you will need for a pleasant stay.

Very comfortable, well appointed apartment with lovely views, and in a great location above the Cairns night markets and many eateries. We really appreciated the opportunity to use the washing machine after our adventure to Cape York with Outback Spirits - highly recommend this apartment to those visiting Cairns for a short or longer stay.

Fantastic Accomodation

Great 7 day stay, the apartment had everything you need. Its location could not have been better by the night market and lots of restaurants. We booked a few trips with the travel agent in the building and she is very helpful.
