A big pleasant surprise that challenged some negative advice we had been given. A proper modern tropical city with great public facilities. The boardwalk frontage makes access so easy to the many dining options.

Underrated beautiful tropical setting.

Underrated beautiful tropical setting. The Sky rail and Train to Kuranda is a must see especially in rainy season when the Barron falls and stony creek falls are in full splendour. The GBR is a must if you can experience it snorkelling. The Botanical gardens was one of the big surprises. The highlight for us was a day visit to Palm Cove with its classy upmarket restaurants. Don’t miss Vivo and Nunu and their extensive menu. I would stay there for 2 days making the drive to Daintree rainforest a shorter one. Cairns and surrounding areas is not for shopping but exploration and experiencing natural wonders.

It was easy to get aound by car or on foot. Most of the tourist attractions that we were interested in were within close proximity. Shopping and eateries were handy. The Aquarium, Museum and Botanical Gardens were special highlights. The guided tour of the city and northern beaches was fantastic.

I enjoyed it, it was short but sweet. We got the self contained room. The manager put us there. It was very kind and generous of her to do that. I love staying at this accommodation when I'm in Cairns. It was central to the laundromat and night owl and IGA supermarket and fish shop down the road.

Loved the trip to Port Douglas, coffee at Thala Resort on wayup. Rex lookout perect view but hard crossing road. Drive around Tablelands superb. Coffee Works Mareeba, Kuranda Skyrail and cablecar, Baron Lake Cafe nice stop, Yungaburra perfect, Milla Milla Falls great, Curtain figtree wonderful. For Aussie vets the memorial walk at Yungaburra is lovely. Barron Falls magnificent after so much rain

View was great! Room was spacious - comfortable and clean for a 5-night stay. Staff on arrival were helpful and throughout the stay. The room offered all facilities, robe, slippers, plenty of hanging space, good iron and board, good hairdyer, good bathroom lighting, kettle and fridge. Handy to Cairns Reef Fleet terminal and Esplanade. The hotel pool garden with tropical plants and potted flowers is beautiful and worth a visit to check out - kudos to your gardeners.

The location was excellent, being walking distance to the city centre and esplanade. We had a car so we appreciated undercover parking as well as off street parking. The apartment itself was spacious, with a kitchen and laundry that were practical for a family. The pool looked lovely but was a little too cold for us. The overall check in and communication was very good.

We enjoyed our stay there. Love the location of hotel, walking distance to the Esplanade, city center and Cairns Central. Had a drink at Arte Wine bar and the staff there were friendly. The King deluxe room we had was lovely, with good views, clean & tidy, a variety of teas & a Nespresso coffee machine and most importantly the bed was firm and comfortable.
