Excellent location. Fabulous views of the harbour. Very comfortable. We arrived around midnight but access was easy as we had excellent communication from the property management who were also extremely helpful with your booking.I would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation.

We stayed with the lovely couple in Cairns and can heavily recommend booking your stay with them. You have your own apartment with a cute kitchen with most of the essentials (and then some). Cozy feeling of summer cabin from back home. The house is a short walk / drive away from the center of town. Peaceful and cute place to stay, gentle and cute dog next door and very friendly couple to share travel tips and a bit of chat. Would visit again and so should you!

We found everything we needed in this apartment. We met the owner and found him and his wife to be very nice and helpful. We raised concerns with Booking.com about how Booking.com failed us on another booking in Cairns but that was not for this property. We very much enjoyed our stay in this property.

The location was abolutely fabulous! Only a short walk from shops, restaurants, and the Cairns Fleet terminal for trips to the reef and islands. We walked to the terminal most mornings for days out on the reef and out to dinner every night. The apartment was perfect for our family holiday, with everything we needed for the week. All the beds were super comfy, everything was really clean, and all the amenities were working. Cooling in all the rooms was really helpful in the cairns heat and humidity. Used the apartment's pool several times with us being the only ones down there. Extremely easy to contact someone from Belle Escapes regarding any issues and they responded quickly as well. Minimal noise pollution from the city below. Would highly recommend this property for its location and access for holiday activities!

The location to me was perfect close to Cairns Central shopping centre and train station and a short 15 minutes to the esplanade!
