Apartment was quiet and met all our basic needs. As stated, it is a self catering facility so there was no cleaning during our stay. No replenishment of basics. Tranquil pool to spent lazy time. Friendly, very helpful staff. Our apartment was fine but decor a little tired.

This is a budget friendly property with basic but adequate amenities including washer and dryer in the one bedroom apartment we stayed in. It’s quiet at night and we enjoyed the pool area in the afternoons to read and relax. It’s in a good location, close to the esplanade, buses, restaurants, aquarium etc and you can get to anywhere in Cairns central on foot from here.

An excellent place to stay only 2 streets back from the boardwalk and an easy walk into all of the shops and dining areas. Nice rooms not luxurious but more than adequate for a holiday. Great pool BBQ area. Would definitely stay there again.
