"The apartment is very well presented with good consideration to its tropical style. We didn't have time to make rhe most of the pools but did try a couple of them. The variety made it great for exploring for our kids. It was quiet in the unit. Isabell was an attentive host via messaging throughout. A great base to explore Cairns and surrounds. We would stay again."
