The room I stayed in was amazing. There was a washer & dryer with a kitchen, living room & balcony. I was facing the back side, but it was great for sunset.

Really great focal point of the waterfront.

Really great focal point of the waterfront. By day it's full of families playing a Muddy's playground, people exercising, and kids swimming in the Lagoon. At night, its has buskers, lights and people come for the night markets. Really nice feature and place to visit.

A very beautiful place.

A very beautiful place. Not one to be missed during Cairns Visit. The walk to Esplanade from the hotel itself is relaxing. One can spend hours just sitting there. The pool for the kids is an amazing idea, where its safe for the kids to play on their on and the parents can just relax without a worry. The Esplanade is a brilliant match of human contribution to the Nature's perfection.

Our room had lovely views to the south-east, taking in Chinaman Creek and the mountains beyond. The location is hard to beat, especially with kids in tow, as it's a short walk to the Cairns Esplanade and Lagoon, plus a supermarket and plenty of local cafes and restaurants. The room was set up with a king bed and a single, which suited our family of three well. It was functional and not too cramped, and the beds were fairly comfortable.

Very convenient location, with plenty of places within easy walking distance, including the Night Markets, Rusty’s Markets, the Cairns Esplanade, and a shopping centre that also has the train station for the Kuranda Scenic Railway. Beautiful beaches are just a 15–30 minute drive north of Cairns, including Holloways Beach, Trinity Beach, Clifton Beach, and Palm Cove, to name a few.

The hotel was well located along the Cairns Esplanade. We enjoyed walking the boardwalk for recreation as well as using it to get to restaurants and shopping district further down. We also very much enjoyed watching flying foxes in the evening as they made their way to coastal foraging sites!

This is an awesome, classic motel. The room had a separate living room with a small kitchenette. We were within walking distance the Cairns Esplanade and the pier that is the launching point for tours to the Great Barrier Reef. The pool was clean and the property was relaxing. There is a great breakfast place a few doors down.
