Fantastic self contained apartments!

My husband & I booked in at the last minute for 5 nights due to a change in plans as a result of the cyclone in Brisbane. Very pleasantly surprised with the studio apartment - very clean & modern & had everything we needed, including kitchenette and washer/dryer. Great value for money too. Only a 15-20min walk to the esplanade (we walk fairly quick!) & right next door to Coles supermarket (5mins walk max!). Pools were lovely albeit it the sun bed area was quite small and didn’t leave much room for being able to walk past! Only negative was that the gyms air con didn’t work and given the heat & humidity in cairns, there was no way I could work out without aircon!
