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

Large apartment style room with kitchen and private balcony. Excellent food at the restaurant. Friendly, helpful hotel owners. Enjoyed the warm pool.

Duncan Australia

Very comfortable apartment with excellent facilities. a self -catering that actually has all the kitchen implements you need to cook a meal. Super location just a few metres walk from a lovely beach or there is an esplanade to walk along. Not too far from the another beaches, Kuranda or the Atherton Tablelands and perfect if ( like us) you are visiting a child studying at JCU . convenience shops in walking distance or a large shopping centre 5 mins drive away. Mandy and Karl are great hosts

George United Kingdom

Friendly staff, nice pool, great location for a kitesurfing holiday.

Peter Australia

The location was excellent both for the beach and relatively easy access to Port Douglas where we were attending a family event.

John United Kingdom

We found this to be a spacious, bright, clean apartment. Our large balcony overlooked Hidden@Yorkeys - the soundproofing was excellent so the noise from the restaurant posed no problem. The pool looked nice and felt warm, but we didn't have a swim. Walking distance from the shops and the patrolled beach.

Jenny Australia

Friendly and helpful manager who went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable and hassle free. Excellent location with good access to the boardwalk and beach. Quite pool that is heated was a bonus.

Paul Australia

Great location. Excellent apartment. Mandy and Carl were great hosts. Excellent having such a great cafe on site. We’ll be back! Thanks for a lovely stay.

Janie New Zealand

We really enjoyed our stay at the Golden Sands. The apartment was lovely as were the views and the location. Really appreciated the fresh cut flowers and newly renovated bathroom! Loved the look of the on-site restaurant (but didn't get the chance to visit it)

  • 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

  • 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.
