The room we had wasn’t clean, the bed was extremely uncomfortable, cockroaches roamed freely throughout every night and appeared to be mid maintenance with a leaking air con in the main living area (which also didn’t work in bedrooms) tiles missing from bathroom walls and check in was not clear or helpful at all.. sorry end of rant

We had a great stay, the manager was outstanding and assisted when needed as well, the location was wonderful. All tour bookings could be done through the hotel which was seamless and the tours were great. A few areas of concern were the weekly cleaning was not great as the floors were still quite dirty and the bathroom toiletries were not restocked. As well there is no safe in the unit which can be a bit disconcerting.

Highly recommend for a quieter area
Stayed for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The reception was friendly and quick.
The room was very spacious and clean, with everything you need to eat in if you prefer.
We had a room on the third floor, which was very quiet, with an outlook over the pool.
The area is very limited for eating out options, but the main shopping area is only a block away for supplies.
We would definitely recommend if it is a quieter area that you prefer and you have transport to drive to the main entertainment area.
loved our saty and would stay again.

The owners were very friendly and helpfull. Our room was clean, big and had everything we needed. Loved the sharing cupboard were you could leave items that you didn't need anymore like food or toiletreies for other travelers to take.
There are two big groceries within a 10 minutes walk in a big shopping centre. The Esplanade ( restaurants, the lagoon) is 15 to 20 minutes walk.

Very well set up for families, amazing pool, quiet and clean rooms. Fantastic location close to Cairns Central and shops, restaurants, etc. Managers were very helpful. Love the fact that they also have an environmentally friendly policy to minimise waste. The ‘sharing cupboard’ was ace, and we took and shared multiple items during our week long stay.

All the team were v friendly and helpful. Took advantage of the free bikes to go to the botanic gardens. Really liked the share shelf where people could leave leftovers e.g. salt oil coffee etc. Nice sunny pool and BBQ area. Walkable to,lagoon, restaurants and station. Highly recommend.

Good location
Was centrally located 2 blocks from the main plaza. Close to train station and there is a Thai and Dominoes opp. Apartment was ok very clean be it abit dated had everything we required and if your on the lower level you do hear them moving chairs stomping feet and toilet flushing, I would ask for second level next time. They do have a leftovers pantry which is a great idea. Hosts are very nice. Overall a good stay. Dave
