Great overall experience. Excellent customer service. Really good location for business or pleasure. Pay for parking inside the building as it is very convenient and protected from weather. Street parking is available but I always seem to have rotten luck with street parking! I will stay again and recommend this property to others!

Best stay in cairns for couple

Check in was very easy and friendly. Room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. Great location to restaurant, shops and walking along esplanades. We didn’t do any boat excursions but very close as well. Definitely will book again.

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

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.
