What a wonderful place. Room (no. 4). Clean, super finished. Beautifully varnished wooden floor in the bedroom. Fridge with separate freezer, table with chair, cabinet with a set for preparing drinks (something beautiful), soft carpet, wide bed with fantastic pillows and a large wardrobe with many shelves and a hanging area with many wooden hangers. There is air conditioning and a ceiling fan (which works almost silently in eco mode). Great lighting, both the main and bedside have a dimmer function. A lot of TV channels, the TV itself has a smart function and e.g. YouTube works well (I watched Złomnik :D). The bathroom is a separate topic. Large, comfortable with a large shower and lighting in many places (also at the bottom of the shower). Lots of towels, there is even a separate one for removing makeup. There are disposable slippers. The room looks new or freshly renovated. I also recommend the hotel restaurant, where you can eat delicious barramundi fish and try interesting drinks. We were there for only two days and we are going to continue exploring Australia, but we can only dream that the next hotels will be at least half as good as Floriana. I will say this, you want to live here :-)

Impeccably clean and extremely well appointed facility. Although the space is compact (considering we had x2 large cases to accommodate), the facility more than made up for this with the outdoor space. Having breakfast at the outdoor bar area on our porch was wonderful: listening to the raucous birds in the trees, watching the Brush turkeys visit in the clearing at the end of the garden, morning and night....then on our last morning the kangaroos visited. This was just fabulous for us!! Loved the cabana in the back yard and the comfortable chairs, rugs, candles there. Fabulous for our wine & cheese board, absorbing the lovely surroundings.

All good : situated in a quiet residential area within walking distance of the city center and Cairns central. Good value for money as a couple, as you also have a small kitchen with everything needed. Plus Julie is a welcoming and helpful host !

Great cabin for a single guy in the area to do some hiking and wildlife photography. I was in and out at all hours and no problem. Kitchen, laundry, nice bathroom and comfortable bed. Being self contained and being able to do a little cooking and being able to wash clothes after being out in the bush was great.

Lovely family who go out of their way to make your stay an enjoyable one. Very clean and quiet. Bed comfy. There is a large closet in the room with hangers and a set of drawers. Plenty of space to store clothes. There is a shared bathroom but not an issue for us. It was always available when we needed. Shower is amazing - whisper quiet and very relaxing with over head and hand held. We didn't use pool area because it was winter and a bit too chilly and rainy but they have set up a table and chairs poolside along with a BBQ that is for guest use. They have a dog but aside from a few brief barks no interaction. They do their best to keep the dog in areas away from guests. Bron, Howie, and Talita are always cheerful and available for help or advice regarding tours, dining, sights etc. We weren't planning on this type of accomodation. Happened by accident but in the end a happy accident. And with the money we saved, we had enough left over in our travel budget to take a tour of the reef.
