Location is great and it is modern apartment. The main bedroom not having a window is not ideal and smells from neighbouring kitchen exhaust limited the opportunity to use the balcony in the evening.

The Host was easy to work with and very informative. The deck, facing the bay, was wonderful for early morning coffee. The property pool was very nice and the Cairns lagoon pool across the road is amazing. It was a VERY convenient location for shops, grocery, pick up for tours and walkable to the Marina for Great Barrier Reef tours. The only complaint we had was that whoever cleaned this beautiful Unit - didn’t. The aircon unit & filters were filthy as were the floors and bathroom counter. Fridge & Microwave had NOT even been wiped out - much less cleaned. The vacuum, which we needed, was full and WET. All remedied easily but should not have had to. Hope it was an anomaly or the Host needs to get a better cleaning service. Important info: We did finally find the pool towels (day before we left) - they were under the bedding in the cabinet above the counter as you walk in. All in All it was a very pleasant week’s stay. Highly recommend this Host and Unit

Very comfortable, well appointed apartment with lovely views, and in a great location above the Cairns night markets and many eateries. We really appreciated the opportunity to use the washing machine after our adventure to Cape York with Outback Spirits - highly recommend this apartment to those visiting Cairns for a short or longer stay.

Fabulous Cairns

What a fantastic 5 days in Cairns! The location totally made our stay! The convenience of the apartment to everything was perfect. Kitchen fully equipped to cook up meals with the kids, night markets downstairs to grab a variety of food for all. Shopping trolley to do a Woolies shop and coffee downstairs after an early morning sunrise walk for mum. Really cannot fault anything and totally recommend this place, we’ll be back. Thanks Darryl and the BreakFree staff

Being able to walk out the front and the back doors and have a range of dining options was very good. We enjoyed watching the ferris wheel and it's light display. The unit is very comfortable and has everything you will need for a pleasant stay.

Everything you could wish for and more .

Darrell's apartment is a little gem ,located right in the heart of Cairns ,you don't need a car unless you plan on leaving the city itself. Darrell's apartment has it all, clean, self contained which is always a must if staying for at least a week, not to mention the amazing views. So if you want to tick all the box's then I would recommend this beauty, we would definitely stay here again, also very easy instructions to check into the unit as well ,as some times this can be the tricky part but not this one , so simple.

The location is very good with a good view. The unit has everything you’d need for a short stay. However, the interior could use some sprucing up with fresh paint & some pictures especially in the bedroom. The furniture is too big for the space in the living area. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.
