Detailed Reviews
We stayed in a apartment close to the pool area. It was on ground level which was easy as I have a toddler. The apartment was fairly clean. We did have to wash dishes before using them as they were not very clean. We swam in the pool which was enjoyable especially by the kids! Location was great as it was close to everything that we needed. Surprisingly traffic noise was minimal. Customer service was good and the price is worth paying when you book direct with them. We will definitely be coming back.

A spotless, simple apartment with everything you need. If we had any criticism, I would suggest that maybe the pillows could do with replacing but all in all, a great stay. After busy days we were content to go back there and it's quiet enough to have a good sleep...

Thanks for the great review. Pillows get replaced reasonably regularly, yours maybe due soon. Just remember everyone, Book Direct and save, it is around 20% cheaper to book direct.

While the apartments are basic, they are very clean. 2 bedroom apartment had two king singles and a queen. Washing machine and dryer came in handy. Staff very friendly. Very tidy, they were sweeping the carpark the morning we were leaving.

Run down. Poorly maintained,
It’s don’t cost much to put in new equipment. The microwave door handle is broken, electric fry pan looks like it from the 80’s and has no teflon
Left on it, beside dirty before we used it.
The steel wood is old and dirty come on it’s like $1 to put a new one in for each new guest when your paying over $120 per night surely you can put a new steel wood in a room.
The manager isn’t friendly and it seems like he doesn’t want to be here. Asked a simple questions about local area and just got look at the board and walked away
If we had our time over again wouldn’t stay here. We come back every two years for 1-2 weeks.

Very flexible check-in, but the apartment was in poor condition. Both patio chairs were broken, the walls were dirty, the bathroom floor was not clean, there was a short in the bedroom light, the bathroom fan was very noisy, and the top of the refrigerator was dirty/stained. We had planned to stay 4 nights, but we were not comfortable staying more than one night.
Host said all we needed to do was to let him know and things would be fixed, and blamed the condition of the apartment on the fact that a long-term rental had just vacated. He took no responsibility for booking us into an apartment that clearly had not been inspected to ensure it was in good condition.
Putting the blame on us for not requesting repairs was ridiculous. I expected a clean and functional place upon check-in, not one that would need work throughout our stay.

Convenient apartment with pool. The sheets were clean and there was air conditioning in each room that only went as low as 23 degrees. The whole place could have done with a thorough clean though and at least cleaned under the beds between guests. OK place to stay.

I would recommend Tradewinds as a great place to stay. The apartments are very comfortable & very clean. The beds are great......the best nights sleep I've ever had outside my own home. The aircon is fantastic. The pool area is a great place to relax & cool off. Wayne & Linda are lovely & were very helpful & considerate to myself & my family during our stay.

The resort we have stayed at previously was under renovations so we located another place around the corner. We choose to be just out of the city centre for the quiet at night, the stroll along the esplanade to the city in the morning, and a row of shops outside our front door that fed our needs for yummy food, a beer or wine and groceries if required. Now we can add a resort that had larger room space, 2 bedrooms and all the facilities needed plus more. The pool is centered away from street traffic and nestled in very maintained beautiful garden and a few steps away from our room, which was fantasic, many relaxing arvos were had. I do recommend a stay at The Tradewinds on Mclead

Lea, it was great to see you return to Cairns and stay with us and find our apartments very conveniently located close to many things and very spacious. Many people love the privacy our large pool gives them as it is not on the street side of the hotel. I am glad you liked our gardens, I spend a lot of time maintaining them as I do the apartments, it is a full time job keeping the place maintained as well as it is. Hope to see you return and stay with us again one day so you can see the improvements we are continually doing from the feedback we receive from our guests.

We stayed at Tradewinds for 10 days and the apartment was very clean, neat and tidy. Kitchen facilities were excellent, bedrooms comfortable and the pool enjoyable for all ages. Customer service also was polite and professional. We definitely recommend these apartments to anyone.

Stayed in a two bedroom apartment for three nights with husband and three children aged 5, 8 and 9. We were told that we had the worst (yes worst) apartment and there were apologies from management, but when we opened the apartment door - it was fine, comfortable, roomy with everything we needed. OK it was a bit outdated (we did get a great $ deal though) - it was really roomy with a good modern tv, great recliner couch (loved the couch) and plenty of room for us all. It had a washing machine and dryer, microwave, oven and new dishwasher. It was quiet, close to the esplande and we walked into town to do the lagoon pool, muddie's playground and night market (which were great). Really enjoyed this place. The pool was good. Reception were great in helping us book our Karunda scenic railway and skyrail adventure. Would I stay here again - you bet I would - a really great place ;-)

Hi there. Yes each apartment has its own bathroom which your own family shares. Inside the bathroom is your own washing machine and dryer as well.
Looking at around 2km away. Around 7 minutes by car, 25-30 minute walk.
