The location of the property was fantastic and as a Cairns local who has moved away it was lovely to come back and be just minutes from so many things. The owners were exceptional in the dealings with us as to their agent. The property had very comfortable bedding, a huge lounge area and a dining table well and truely ample enough for our family (plus visitors). The kitchen was very well equipped and had counter space galore. All in all we really enjoyed the stay.

Clean appartment on arrival. Comfy bed and hot shower with equipped kitchen for self-catering. God location for exploring Cairns on foot. Near to large Cole’s supermarket for self-catering. Friendly staff with welcoming touches e.g. book swap shelf and some food provisions. Pool looked clean & inviting but we didn’t have time to use it. Recommended for a city stay.
