A very enjoyable and comfortable stay. Check-in was easy and staff very helpful. Room was exactly as advertised with harbour views from room/balcony. Shower had excellent water pressure, TV was huge, comfortable bed (although a little on the soft side for us/ could do with an extra topper since it was 2 king singles put together to make one large bed). Room was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay including pool/beach towels. We look forward to our next visit and stay.

We spent a week at CPA. It was a proper home from home. A harbour view room. Great to watch the boats come in and out. Great access to the shops and many places to eat and drink in Cairns. The apartment was spotless and high overall quality. Jo was so helpful throughout our stay. It was the perfect stay. Thank you to all at CPA

Property was very nice - nice building, great location comfortable - It was nice to have a kitchen to make breakfast before the excursions. The only negative was I couldn't get the TV in the living room to work, but I didn't report this since we didn't have much time to watch TV anyway and the bedroom TV was fine.

Really beautiful apartment. Plenty of room and great location! Really central and close to everything. We were really able to appreciate the beauty of Cairns. The only downside was a loud noise though the night, we think it might have been the plumbing and people using showers. It was really loud and would wake us up.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit. The unit was very spacious and nice. The only issue was the water condensation on the windows. They were mostly wet the whole time. Not sure if that was due to extreme hot weather outside and AC inside the unit. The views were lovely and the balcony was quite large to sit outside and enjoy the views.

We never ended up staying at the apartments. We called ahead for a late check in but were left the wrong key cards and would not work for the apartment that was reserved for us. The cards had a different room number on them so we thought that maybe it was the paperwork that was wrong. Guess what? The cards did work on the other apartment but I’m sure the guy we woke up at 1:00 in the morning wished they hadn’t. With no desk and no after hours phone number to call, we had to walk across the street and book our stay at the Hilton (they were great by the way). We also never heard from the property management afterwards, not even to apologize.
