Ideally located in the scenic and quieter area of the Esplanade- away from the noise of the clubs, bars and traffic- but only an easy 10 minute walk to the main attractions, the Pier and Cairns City...

The stuff was very friendly and everyday greeting me I seen staff always doing cleaning outside, cleaning paths ,pool etc it was quite, seemed like it was only my family around,when the car park was full . friendly on-site people who live in the complex Bbq area was clean, they provided cleaning equipment and a fridge and freezer and bin in the same area. The pool was a good temperature not to mention we had a ball at the beach across the road.

The location was fantastic. You cannot get any better than this in Cairns. The night market is just below the apartment which is very good. The ferry station is just 5 mins walk from the apartment so if you book a tour for Green Island or something, this apartment serves perfect. The room was clean and well maintained. Owner replied to our messages very quickly. The facilities in the apartment were also amazing. Overall, i would suggest this apartment to anyone coming for leisure in Cairns.

Our 5-night stay was amazing. Beachfront with the Esplanade road in front, but a beautiful view from the master bedroom. The main pool was perfect, and the kiddy pool on the other side with the BBQ area was ideal. Having two living spaces was great, and the BBQ made life easy. The property felt secure and was not far from restaurants or shops. We would absolutely recommend staying here.
