"10 min from the airport and a 20 min walk from the central shopping / restaurant area along the lovely esplanade. The staff was super helpful storing our bags when we arrived early and when we were leaving late on the back end of our stay. The rooms were clean and nearly all have balconies. The pool is also nice. We did not take advantage of the restaurant but it was clean with a cute garden. I'm sure it's just as lovely as the rest of the property. A solid stay for anyone exploring Cairns over the long weekend."
"Always staying here when going to town.
Clean, big rooms, easy parking near by and walking distance to the water and shops.
The friendly staff is always happy to give great recommendations about food and thing to do.
Can highly recommend staying here!"
"Not much information giving to us when we arrived. Everything was well kept and the pool was fabulous. Things we were not informed of were things like umbrella use, bikes for hire, when we asked about transport one of the staff gave us a look like we should know. Being out of country these things would have beneficail"
"Very comfortable and in a great location with views across the water. Very close to the reef ferry terminal and a short stroll to the main drag. Has a slight air of tropical decay, but everything was clean and the service excellent."
"We loved this property! It is so close to the ferry terminal so if you’re going to the reef is very convenient to just walk right over there and get on your boat. There are also tons of restaurants, especially Asian varieties for dining options as well as a night market. I would totally stay here again."
