The apartment was lovely, home from home. Just about everything you would need for a longer stay. Air con and fans in all rooms. Brilliant patio area and gardens and a lovely little pool with a small BBQ area. Washer and dryer in a laundry room. I can’t praise this place and the hosts, Stuart and Tony enough.

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds in a spacious clean apartment looking out to the ocean with the sound of waves lapping on the beach from our balcony - a piece of paradise! The new owners were very helpful and always on hand if we needed anything. Coles supermarket and small shopping centre nearby. Close to Cairns and a great base for exploring the Tablelands and the beaches up to Port Douglas. Our family of four adults loved Argosy on the Beach and we will be back.

Stuart was an amazing host. He even gave us recommendations on what to do. The property was directly across the beach. We could hear beach waves off our balcony. We had adequate space for 4 of us and amenities were wonderful. He even had ac on waiting for us when we arrived late at night. Highly recommend this place

I’ve stayed in a few nice places, this one is easily my favourite. My apartment was fantastic, great quality throughout. Loved the huge balcony, East facing so you get sunrise over the ocean. Then there is a smaller balcony at the back with excellent forest views, including a family of wallabies which visited daily. Lifts to your floor, really nice swimming pool, great walking paths along the beach right out the front, so much to like. And the staff were friendly, helpful and very accommodating, couldn’t ask for more. Hope to go back one day!

The only problem was the two couches were very uncomfortable, unlucky for us they are in the middle of changing them, they are right onto wgat was needing change. To our surprise the two gentleman knocked on our door with a very nice bottle of Champagne for our 51st Anniversary,this just goes to show how well they treat their guests.we will Definately stay there agsin and soon.

You definitely cannot go here without a car as the shopping village is not in walking distance (at least 20 minutes). There was only 1 restaurant (overpriced) nearby which wasn't open every day. The manager for this property was the worst we ever experienced...the front door key didn't work from Saturday to Tuesday when she finally got a locksmith. She put us in her own apartment next to the office where we had no privacy - even the curtains didn't provide that, but it was a larger apartment than what we had booked but the decor was abominable from the 1970's and not at all updated and rust everywhere and not at all inviting. We went upstairs to a German couple whom we helped out when the manager was absent and had given them the wrong key and they were extremely upset so we helped them. We also wanted to see their apartment and if ours was 1 star theirs was 5 stars on the 1st floor. Re the transfer from airport to Argosy at Clifton Beach, we were told Exemplar does not service Clifton Beach only Palm Cove so we were left to the mercy of a friendly driver who dropped us off anyway. However we had to change our reservation to Palm Cove where we were told to make our own way back to Clifton Beach on a rainy Friday night at 8pm when you cannot get a taxi because cruise ships and other events were taking place - and again the manager Judith was unhelpful after promising assistance.
