A truly outstanding property ... though some apartments don't have baths! So if you a bath vs just a shower, be sure to specify this either when booking or upon arrival.
Esplanade Location is perfect for everything ... taxis in Cairns are absolutely superb with a maximum wait of no more than 5 mins.

We stayed for our honeymoon, in the 2 bed apartment for the two of us and it was so spacious - good size balcony overlooking the sea, beautiful view, 2 bathrooms one with spa bath and kitchen with everything you need. It was generally quiet, a good 20min walk into the main strip of restaurants and shops. We liked the sauna, jacuzzi and pool too, also has BBQ facilities which we did not get chance to use. Would recommend if you want a relaxing break.

Maybe the knives and forks draw could have had the cutlery topped up. A couple of Pizza trays would have been an added bonus.
The Esplanade 181 offers spacious accommodation for families. It has all the facilities of home, such as a washing machine and dryer, kitchen with fridge and oven and two bathrooms in the larger apartments. The shower had lots of power and warm water, which is often lacking in out of home accommodation. Foxtel was also a bonus. Friendly helpful staff. A clean outdoor pool. Great value for money.

The location is ideally situated. Next Cairns hospital and slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the Esplande commercial sites. The walk along the promenade is beautiful. The building, garden, pond, pool, sauna, spa and landscape well maintained. Reception is responsive, friendly, helpful with tour bookings and local knowledge advice. The place is disability friendly too.

“Pleasant but not top quality.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 6 nights
Problems with the main TV glitching, no instructions left on how to operate the remotes for the TV (there were 3 to work out!), the buttons on the remote were really worn out & not very easy to operate. Not being able to use the dishwasher, tried once and it immediately started to flood the kitchen. Staff advised that it was because powder had been used instead of liquid but powder is what was provided, I was advised liquid would be provided but this never occurred. Need to provide some instructions on how to operate the washer/drier. Only had 3 drinking glasses for a family of 4 so needed to give my kids juice in a wine glass & had to keep rewashing after every meal as there were not enough glasses ,otherwise the kitchen was well set-up. The bathrooms are showing distinct signs of aging with rust around doorframes and general wear & tear.
The space we had, The location. Well furnished.

Bathrooms had mould issues but still ok. As did some of the soft furnishings no doubt from wet clothes over the years
Management and staff were great - nothing was too much. Very roomy apartments. Lived on the balcony... Great views! Lovely relaxing walk to town/wharf vicinity.
