Great location for ease of access to foreshore Esplanade. Beds are comfortable but a king bed is 2 singles pushed together so prepare to ‘mind the gap’! Hotel food was great quality and views out to sea stunning.

Room was nice and the cleanest accommodation I have stayed at so far in Cairns out of over 10 different places. Everything worked as it should and the bed was so comfortable. Having the separate climate control in the lounge/living area and bedroom was great. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The cafe/restaurant downstairs makes amazing coffee, I will definitely be eating there next time. I will 100% be returning.

A fabulous place to stay. A little out, but a lovely 20 min walk along the water and you're in the heart of the city. Clean rooms, beautiful view (from ocean view rooms). Excellent staff and very friendly service. There's a pool, lovely gardens and yummy food. Close enough that tours pick you up directly which was nice. Would recommend 👌
