Everything was good and really liked the restaurant. I didn't receive instructions for late arrival because I didn't take phone off flight mode.Caused us a problem but my fault. We couldn't get onto wi-fi which was disappointing.

We stayed in Morris #517. This is an excellent well appointed, clean and remodeled unit. Some of the common areas have not been as well maintained, and a number of areas are currently being worked on. This is a mix of long term rentals, residents and short term holiday units. The local by the Cultural district is unparalleled in Cairns and makes this a great choice for active folks. the airplanes do land/take off nearby, so if that would be a bother to you please be sure to consider. For us, no worries.

Amazing resort with 3 swimming pools , beautiful flora around ! Also , there is great Thai restaurant on side with very special deserts! Convenient parking. Communication was tricky because office is opened on week days until 5 snd closed on weekends and no one was picking up the phone or responded to property e mail . It is an older propery but maintained very well

We arrived 10 minutes early and were told to come back at check in time. We came back at the check in time and was given the keys but were told that the supervisor had not inspected the property and were asked to wait a further 15 minutes, which we didn’t. The supervisor allowed herself into the apartment 30 minutes after check in to inspect the property. The property was very dated and needs some maintenance. Arrival info stated apartment had to be left tidy however couldn’t vacuum rooms as no vacuum, found the vacuum box empty.
