Great location near beach. Onsite restaurant is excellent!

Robert United States of America

Good price and good location. Restaurants in the area are fantastic. Room was very large for the price. Just keep in mind this is apartment style, not full service hotel. The folks who run the place are very nice. Will stay again.

Adam United States of America

inviting, well appointed, attractive decor, great cafe on site.

Jill Australia

Spacious and comfortable accommodation, Having a restaurant onsite, when the city is so far away but a huge bonus when we weren't able to get a taxi into town. Check in was hassle free.

Jennifer Australia

Beautiful room, felt spacious, light and bright. Good kitchen, only lacking an oven but otherwise well stocked. Beautiful location with excellent restaurant next door and great pool.

Jan Australia

Mandy and her husband (wish I caught his name) were very kind and accommodating. Their relaxed yet enthusiastic approach was greatly appreciated. The room was tastful, bright and cool. We had everything we needed in the room, however for 3 adults, the unit we stayed in was a little cosy but for 3 nights absolutely fine (little privacy between pull out sofa bed and main bedroom space) The grounds were well cared for, clean and the swimming pool area is beautiful and calming. Really great service and food at the Cafe next door. Would recommend this place!! Safe secure car park. Very little disruptive noise. It's raining back in Adelaide, would return immediately if we could. Thanks again Mandy and smiling husband (sorry for not catching your name)

Blades Australia

Great location, big clean apartment, bed comfy, kitchen had everything we needed and made good use of the washing machine, loved the heated pool.

  • is the shower over the bath? Do you have walk in showers?
    Hi, thank you for your question, our showers are similar to a roman shower with a small step, so not really a bath. We have an apartment undergoing renovations to create a walk in shower, so we will have one in the near future. Thanks

    Hi, We are located in Far North Queensland, so not close at all to Dreamworld. Thanks

  • How many square metres in the 1 BR units?
    Hello, they range from 67 - 76 sqm. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks

  • Is the bedroom behind a door, or are there just light dividors that don't block the light? Thank you
    Hi, thank you for your question, I have allocated you to a room with full dividers for the bedroom. It is on the top floor. The rooms are still quite light due to having vertical blinds on the windows and doors. I hope this is suitable.

Company info

There is much to do, but if you prefer, simply turn off the clock and laze around while soaking up the balmy tropical atmosphere. You may decide on a refreshing swim in the large freeform lagoon style SOLAR HEATED POOL or take a dip in the beach right outside the Resort, or perhaps a few sets of tennis, a hit of table tennis or even a one-on-one at the basketball ring. A round of golf at the local club might take your fancy or a stroll along the sandy beach... head south toward the estuary and there is barely any sign of civilisation; your own lost tropical paradise to be quietly awed in the face of a rising or setting sun.

Property info

Offering one and two bedroom self-contained holiday apartments, Golden Sands Resort Cairns is right on the Yorkeys Knob beachfront with only open lawns and gardens separating your holiday apartment from the long stretch of golden sand that is Yorkeys Knob beach. Soak up the ambience of a secluded lush tropical garden setting right on the beachfront at Yorkeys Knob... enjoy the tranquillity while knowing you are within easy reach of all the excitement and grandeur that Cairns and Tropical North Queensland has to offer. Laze around the lagoon style “SOLAR HEATED” salt water pool, a constant 30 degrees year round or take a leisurely 30 second stroll to Yorkeys Knob Beach, enjoy a game of tennis or basketball. Large and spacious one and two bedroom air-conditioned holiday apartments with self contained catering and laundry facilities. Your large private balcony lets you enjoy the balmy sea breezes and freshness that is so special at a tropical beach location.
