Beach across the street from the property is really nice but does not have chairs or umbrellas for rent so you'll need to bring your own. Also plan on bringing your own beach towels.

We had a great stay. The area is very quiet. There's a great cafe restaurant directly across the street and the patio of the cafe faces the sea. Every Saturday there's live music from 3-6pm. The bus runs runs right in front of the complex so it's easy to get to Smithfield mall in less than 15 minutes on the 120 bus or Cairns Central Shopping Center where you can find groceries at Coles or Woolworths. We really liked the apartment. The sofa and bed were very comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would love to stay again.

Enjoyable but basic
We enjoyed our stay here. As we had a longer stay and from interstate would have been good if when they did the refresh they replenished the Tea and Coffee etc. Also wifi was always dropping out and I used a lot of my data on my phone to watch Netflix, etc.

Holloways Beach short stay
2 Day R&R stay en route to Brisbane is in an ideal location for the beautiful beach, great pool at the property.
Our apartment was spotlessly clean although the 3 flights of stairs with our luggage was a bit of a pain. Easy late check in and Ruby the next day at the desk was super helpful.
WiFi was awful but they are upgrading it and some smells from other people’s cooking but no real complaints.
A 10am check out was a bit too early for us compared to other properties like this we use.

While property was close to waterfront, there was not really much to see or do at Holloways Beach, compared to more northern beaches. Central to many ‘sights’ if i you have you our own car.
Needs a massive renovation, it’s smelly, dirty, beds so uncomfortable and the pillows !
It’s very out dated. It’s absolutely NOT a four star! Wouldn’t recommend! Not going back!

The place was beautiful as it had an amazing garden which had a plethora of plant life that added to the peaceful atmosphere. The pool was clean and well maintained. The beach was opposite the property which was convenient. The room furnishing was old and the bathroom could use an upgrade. We stayed in the premium garden facing room. But overall it was a good stay.

We only got to spend one night at this beautiful beach apartment but wished we could stay longer! We had #68 which looked across to the ocean and was lovely and sunny and bright and very clean. Pool was awesome! The cafe across the road had live music and great food and excellent atmosphere. Everything at our doorstep. Perfect. Would definitely stay again
Checking in was easy, however the wifi didn't work. The air conditioning was in the bedroom only not the whole unit. There was no oven in the unit as indicated

Clean, comfortable accommodation. Good bed. Reasonably equipped kitchenette - microwave kettle and stove top , no oven, plenty of utensils. Easy parking. Friendly helpful staff who ensured we got adjacent lower level units to suit older guest. Just across road from beach, so good location if that’s what you want. Didn’t use pool but it looked lovely. Would stay again if I needed to be in this location.

Good location, right on beach. Unfortunately very noisy with trucks loaded with rocks coming past every 10 mins due to beach erosion work. Should calm down once job complete. Unit could do with a freshen up. No oven or d/w but rest of kichen ok. Management very good.
