to get started.

Pretty great location, amazing ocean view, suite was huge! Staff was very helpful and they offer cheap towel rental for beach or snorkeling cruise so very convenient.

Leia, United States of America

10 minute taxi ride from the airport, close to everything in Cairns, spacious and clean room. Recommended!

Mate, Germany

Great location. Enjoyed the patio views. So convenient and easy parking.

James, United States of America

So wonderful to enjoy coffee on the patio. Friendly staff in a great location right across from the esplanade an playground. Lots of great eats nearby. Free parking! No traffic. Clean and friendly. We stayed one night before a trip to the Great Barrier Reef and then three nights after. Spacious rooms but seriously the balcony made us feel comfortable. Don’t forget to take in the city pool, night mats and little Indonesian restaurant next door!

James, United States of America

Large room with balcony and the locality is perfect. Very good breakfasts available at reasonable prices.

Margaret, Australia

We were on the 6th floor which gave us a great view over the city and the water. The location was great - being on the waterfront and close to the wharf, lagoon etc. Breakfast in the hotel was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Katzweb, Australia

Very spacious apartment with sea views. Comfortable bed, good shower. Able to prepare simple meals using the microwave. About a 10 minute walk to the main restaurants and markets. Cafe across the road on the waterfront. Staff very helpful and interested us and our holiday. Loved it.

Janet, Australia

Lovely view, spacious rooms. We came in from long trip from USA and we were able to check in early! Walkable to good restaurants and waterfront. Fun kids playground across the street.

Harry, United States of America

Good wifi, across the road from great kids playground, cafe and the esplanade.

Hayley, Australia

Right on boardwalk. Easy access to Muddy's cafe. Not far from the busy part of town (Esplanade). Mandy at the desk is a true delight!!!
