Sean hotel manager is an example of excellence in customer service ...Paul was a great motor guide and a great gentleman... the hotel may not be 4 star...but service is top of da line...come back here again for sure !!

Mario Thailand

Very nice pool, room was clean, friendly staff and great location

Ionut Australia

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!
