About this property

Marina View Balcony Escape at Harbour Lights

Summary:

Wake to sweeping marina views in this light-filled waterfront apartment just moments from Cairns’ vibrant dining and reef departure precinct. Set on the seventh floor, it combines relaxed coastal comforts with a private balcony and the convenience of a full kitchen. Spend slow mornings overlooking the water, enjoy alfresco meals cooked on the Weber BBQ, and make the most of the shared pool, gym, sauna, and sun deck, all within a short stroll of the boardwalk and Esplanade.



The Space:

Set high above Cairns Marina, this bright and welcoming apartment is designed for relaxed tropical stays with elevated water views and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors fill the open-plan living space with natural light and open directly onto the private balcony, creating an easy flow between mornings inside and evenings overlooking the marina. Whether returning from a reef tour or settling in for a slower getaway, the apartment offers a calm and comfortable base in the heart of the waterfront precinct.



The living area combines comfortable seating with a dining space perfect for relaxed meals or quiet mornings with coffee. A sofa bed can be prepared on request for an additional fee, offering extra flexibility for families or small groups. The fully equipped kitchen includes modern appliances, generous bench space, and everything needed for easy holiday dining. The balcony becomes an extension of the apartment itself, with alfresco seating and a Weber BBQ framed by sweeping marina views. It’s an inviting setting for long lunches or sunset drinks as the waterfront comes to life below.



The bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with a queen bed, built-in robes, and soft natural light, while the modern bathroom includes a spacious vanity and shower for added comfort. Guests also have access to in-unit laundry facilities, making longer stays easy and convenient.



During your stay, enjoy full use of the shared complex facilities including the pool, gym, sauna, and sun deck, along with free undercover secure parking for one vehicle. Positioned only a short walk from the waterfront boardwalk and Great Barrier Reef departure terminal, the apartment places cafés, restaurants, and Cairns attractions right at your doorstep.

Families will love Muddy’s Playground and water park, less than one kilometre away.
