Cannot speak highly enough about these apartments. Stayed for two weeks at end of May. Absolutely the highlight of our year. We have travelled extensively throughout the world from time to time because of my husband's job in the foreign service. Without hesitation the whole family agrees that Cairns Aquarius is the best place that we have ever stayed anywhere.... More

When my wife and myself planned to stay in Cairns to visit Barrier Reef with my brother and his wife coming from France, I needed to stay in an apartment having 2 bedrooms with separate bathroom, and also close enough to the pier. Cairns Aquarius is among a few perfectly matching our requirements. We stayed at room 22. Both bedrooms... More

Having stayed in Cairns 3 times over the past 5 years, this has to be one of the best locations going! Great views, close to restaurants, markets, pool and marina, but surprisingly little street noise in the evening. Had a brilliant view of fireworks on the Sunday evening and sat on the balcony afterwards listening to the concert! As past... More

OK, this place wasn't cheap -- we were there for 5 nights at about US$340/night. (Not sure how that compares with the rest of Cairns.) That having been said, we still feel like we got more than our money's worth because this was a great place. - Plenty of space, with 2 2-bed bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, cooking and dining area,... More

We stayed in apartment 64 on the 10th floor, it had the most amazing views over the ocean. You can see Green Island in the distance. Fantastic place to have a drink on the balcony at sunset.

What more could you want? To start with, the Cairns Aquarius is in a very convenient, easily accessible location close to the shore, restaurants, shops and parks and playgrounds. Security and parking are well taken care of. Our particular apartment - #64 - was a very attractive one with great accommodation, décor and facilities. The views from the large balcony... More

The apartment was in a fantastic location central to everything. However none of the balcony doors locked which was not good for safety of a night or when you were out and when we rang to ask about it they were not really interested. It would have been nice to be told the spas had been disconnected when we booked.... More

Dear Twilight, As evidenced in previous Trip Advisor reviews and photographs, Apartment 29 is a beautifully renovated apartment. Quite stunning really. Some points I would like to make in regard to your revue which is quite misleading. 1. In regard to house keeping I would make the following observation. As with all of our apartments, one hour prior to your... More
