Liked: Amenities
Place was clean but was really stingy, with the price we paid, they wanted us to clean the place and take the rubbish out or the it would be a 55 dollar fee, plus had very little soap with no body wash, shampoo or conditioner. If the place was cheap per night it would make sense but for a little extra I saw you could go up the read to the Novotel. Would only recommend this place if you get a deal, if not there are plenty more nicer places to stay at for a cheaper rate

This is a budget friendly property with basic but adequate amenities including washer and dryer in the one bedroom apartment we stayed in. It’s quiet at night and we enjoyed the pool area in the afternoons to read and relax. It’s in a good location, close to the esplanade, buses, restaurants, aquarium etc and you can get to anywhere in Cairns central on foot from here.

Week stay in Cairns

Apartment itself was great, good location with a pool. Air conditioning worked and kept entire room cool. Bathroom standard, did the job, only complaint was the bed was a bit uncomfortable as it was 2 twin beds pushed together, so middle wasnt great on the back. In general though, room was fine, and would stay here again
