The garden setting and the u shape of the overall resort are lovely. The beach is very close literally metres away. Although the pool and spa are not heated it was still refreshing to have a dip due to the overall warm winter weather. The washing machine and dryer are in the apartment so very convenient. The cons: Whilst the apartment is smoke free. There was smoke from other apartment that wafted in from the balcony so had to close the balcony door quite often. No oven however there is a microwave, toaster and electric cooktop. The ocean water was quite brown for quite a few metres out due most likely to river silt.

The location was amazing! It is up on the top floor with no elevator (so be sure you can do the stairs), but had a large balcony overlooking the ocean! We liked that it was in a less busy area and we could travel into downtown Cairns, beaches, Rainforests, Kuranda, etc. in our rental car easily! They had everything we needed to prepare foods, or wash clothes. Only issue was that there were tiny ants. They do ask you throw garbage away daily, but even that wasn’t quick enough. It helped that we stored everything in the fridge until we were leaving the room and could take our garbage down. The location and price made up for dealing with the ants. I would stay there again!

Beach across the street from the property is really nice but does not have chairs or umbrellas for rent so you'll need to bring your own. Also plan on bringing your own beach towels.

We had a great stay. The area is very quiet. There's a great cafe restaurant directly across the street and the patio of the cafe faces the sea. Every Saturday there's live music from 3-6pm. The bus runs runs right in front of the complex so it's easy to get to Smithfield mall in less than 15 minutes on the 120 bus or Cairns Central Shopping Center where you can find groceries at Coles or Woolworths. We really liked the apartment. The sofa and bed were very comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would love to stay again.

The resort is older but better in many ways. We had an 8 day stay. The one bedroom apartment was on the top floor only accessed by 4 flights of stairs. This was a surprise, but was fine as we're now fit enough. It was also quieter and more private than lower levels. We did watch the air planes landing approach from bed after the lights were out, but they didn't disturb us. Much better than being on the take-off path. It was a challenge to hold a BBQ lunch for 6 (4 non-resident), but being in a fully covered facility in the gardens, all worked out well, despite a rain shower. The BBQ area and gardens are brilliantly maintained and gorgeous. We didn't use the pool as were too busy, but it looked good. We loved the easy care granite look manufactured stone and wrought iron (mock?) tables. So easy care and just what one needs on holiday. You can put your feet up on the coffee table after a hard day of walking. We didn't particularly like the manual (no cords) panel blinds on the balcony doors & windows, as they hooked up on the louvre handles. The kitchen is basic and tired, but once again was fine for us. We did not like the half size tea towel or scourer though as we did cook and wash up. With no dishwasher please allocate good cleaning supplies. The shower over the bath is a little awkward and we were a bit concerned about slipping. Parking was ample and the laundry in the apartment was handy for our length stay too. We'd definitely stay again with longer stay discount.

Holloways Beach short stay

2 Day R&R stay en route to Brisbane is in an ideal location for the beautiful beach, great pool at the property. Our apartment was spotlessly clean although the 3 flights of stairs with our luggage was a bit of a pain. Easy late check in and Ruby the next day at the desk was super helpful. WiFi was awful but they are upgrading it and some smells from other people’s cooking but no real complaints. A 10am check out was a bit too early for us compared to other properties like this we use.

The place was beautiful as it had an amazing garden which had a plethora of plant life that added to the peaceful atmosphere. The pool was clean and well maintained. The beach was opposite the property which was convenient. The room furnishing was old and the bathroom could use an upgrade. We stayed in the premium garden facing room. But overall it was a good stay.

Clean, comfortable accommodation. Good bed. Reasonably equipped kitchenette - microwave kettle and stove top , no oven, plenty of utensils. Easy parking. Friendly helpful staff who ensured we got adjacent lower level units to suit older guest. Just across road from beach, so good location if that’s what you want. Didn’t use pool but it looked lovely. Would stay again if I needed to be in this location.

This is a nice propery but as it is in a sleepy neighbourhood of Holloway Beach that it isn't serviced by busses often (hourly) and many excursion (or airport shuttles) don't pick up / drop off there. If you don't have a car, you will have to rely on Uber/ taxi. The beach is across the street and is very nice, and the property has a nice pool. The unit we stayed at had a newly renovated bathroom and the unit itself is comfy and spacious, but it is otherwise a little on the older side and has room for improvement in cleaning (eg sticky cupboards / drawers).
