Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
I arrive to find the owner meeting me at the door with a welcoming smile. After a little bit a saw to my horror that I was in a "twin" code for single bed. He then explained he called the travel agent three times to find out if this was a mistake. With no response he just went a single male traveller would want a king bed and promptly changed the booking prior to my arrival. Service like that will mean this is my hotel of choice when working in Cairns

Nice little apartment complex set A couple of blocks back from the start of the esplanade. If you don’t mind walking to the esplanade and restaurants and are looking for something that suits a family and budget, then this is the place. About 15-20 minutes from the strip of restaurants and pubs, add on another 5-10 for the marina where all the tours depart from. Service was great and very friendly. We had a 2 BR interconnecting apartment, which suited our family of 4 really well. The kids utilised the pool most days, although the design of it, with only one lap lane of any depth made it difficult for them to play in. On arrival the apartment had been cleaned, but we still found an old pair of bathers and empty beer can inside…we saw the amusement in this, but probably stops me giving it a 5 rating. Location is on a roundabout, which was okay most of the time, but can get a little busy some mornings at peak hour. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to other families too.

I was warned off by earlier reviews on a ground floor unit but we occupied a two bedroom unit (8) for 9 days and found it clean, functional, well provided (in terms of equipment and pots/pans/crockery etc. Suzie and Phillip who manage the block out performed in evey area suchas photocopying, printing, scanning so I was able to keep working during my stay. The location is central, good parking and the place was kept very clean and tidy, other guests were considerate (no evening noise). I changed my forward booking due to Covid rules on travel and Suzie was really great to accommodate our need to change. I travel fairly often mainly in hotels but this apartment pleased in every way and offered the benefit of a home cooked meal if we wanted it. Nicholas Lehmann

Great place to stay. I had a large suite room with lovely bathroom with bath tub. Did find the mattress to be a bit firm for my liking. The location is a good 17 min walk to waterfront and can be a bit much if walking during hot months. Pool was lovely but could have done with a bit more greenery and sun umbrellas around the pool area. Overall parts looked a bit tired, but generally a tidy clean place to stay.

A well appointed apartment near the Esplanade and about 10 minutes walk into the Town Centre. Our apartment had every thing we needed, and the kitchen included serving dishes and platters, a dishwasher, oven, microwave and stove top. The apartment had everything we needed. The secure underground apartment was also appreciated. Would stay again and recommend for families.

Ideal self contained accommodation in close proximity to CBD, on a bus route and right over the road from the Cairns Private Hospital. Ramps and lifts and secure parking. Our apartment was large with laundry, kitchen etc. It was very clean and well decorated. It was serviced at extra cost but very reasonably priced. No noisy guests and managers very very helpful. The pool is gorgeous and so clean. Really recommend this as your base while in Cairns.

The apartment was clean and well kept, with everything we needed for a self-contained stay. It’s a convenient location, only a 10 minute walk from the city centre and 7 minutes to the airport. The only things that kept us from giving it a 5 star rating was the slow wifi and the queen sized bed was two smaller beds pushed together with an uncomfortable bump down the middle. But otherwise, the service was friendly and we recommend this place.

Finally, someone who ticks all the boxes in my home away from home. Give Suzie a buzz and arrange your next trip here. Only thing to improve here is to have some ice blocks in the freezer. Within walking distance to everything and the hospital down the road if needed.

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights whilst visiting cairns and the islands. Staff were polite and check in and out was very simple. Room had everything we needed with bathroom being very spacious. Loved the comfy bed and our balcony felt very private. The pool area was small but really relaxing and clean. Could not fault any of our stay.

A very well set up apartment, with a large, clean and comfortable room, which made our week here most enjoyable. The pool is large and a great asset on a hot day. Check in was quick and the staff always friendly & helpful. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Cairns.
