This is a small, family-owned (I think -or at least feels like it), motel just a short drive or pleasant walk from the Cairns' Esplanade. We did not want a resort or just another chain of hotels, and this was perfectly tucked away off a main road and still close enough to everything. We did have a rental car to get down to the Wharf for the day we went out to the Great Barrier Reef, but we also walked to dinner at the Cock and Bull and then on down to the Wharf and back after a few drinks one night. The staff was incredibly friendly! And, even though room was a bit "simple" it was plenty big enough with a very modern and new bathroom. It had a "private hostel room" feel for the main room, but then had a very nice bathroom/shower and a separate entry with closet and small fridge with coffee/tea. Also, wee didn't use it, but there was a small swimming pool on premises---a 30 second walk from our room. Very pleased, especially for the price!

Please note this motel has a pension and appartments for low income or social benefits people. This is not a regular motel. It has a regular pension for low income people. Impossible to use the pool because first of all the pool is microscopic and you have the kids of those all social benefit families kids jumping and being crazy all over the place. You can't even get closer because all these thousands bad educated kids are all over the place and jumping crazy around. Please if you travel as a family DONT GO THERE.
Staff members are the best. In all senses. They are friendly, helpful. They smile to you all the time and they will give you the best service ever. The rooms are big and the bathroom super big and sparkling clean. Good A/C

“If you are a family. Double think before going here.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Please note this place has a local pension for low income families and/or social benefit families. So first of all you have all these people there with you at the facilities. Second. I never had the opportunity to use the pool because of course these kids from those families are crazy jumping and 15 kids completely crazy in a 3x3 pool. Impossible to use the pool. Not even think about it. I love kids. But the kids of these families are unrespecful and yelling and shouting and jumping and completely crazy. No education at all.
Staff members are great. Reception and security people. The manager was always there for us and each person who works at that place has a smile ready for you and they are lovely and great service all the time. Thanks for that.

Distance from entrance to room - Ok if you have a car Door locks not ideal though adequate Brand new facilities not matching some obviously old or secondhand items in and outside of rooms. At the price not a problem though.
Secure complex VERY new, clean spacious bathroom Very spacious room Simple, no-frills accommodation 12:00pm checkin, rooms still being serviced, was OK though lady servicing was very gracious asking if there was anything we wanted - impressed, first time to experience this in Australia. Thank you.
