One bedroom apartment, comfortable bed, small kitchenette with living room and patio that you walked out to the pool. Not the newest looking facility, but they keep it up okay. The guy at check-in was great, secured parking under the building. You can walk to just about anywhere in 5 to 10 minutes to include the beach. Lots of markets and the mall. Just a block or two away. Would definitely stay here again. Very quiet.

This property is well positioned. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Although the cafe was closed on the weekend when we were there there was many eating options close by which the staff directed us to. It was a great place to stay and I recommend it to anyone going to Cairns

Attending an event at Cairns Convention Centre and Il Centro is a comfortable short walk to this venue at very reasonable price. Reading previous reviews the Reception person has a typical NQ sense of humour that is not always appreciated by all guests - but he is still very helpful and informative.

An easy stay at these apartments. Late check-in was easily organised with friendly service. The undercover parking is a great inclusion. I enjoyed the pool for a cool down at the end of the day. Close to town to walk in and out for dinner and shopping.
