301 Harbour View

The view from the balcony and lounge room was unbeatable. The location is perfectly located to excellent restaurants, not far from woolworths and right next to all the reef tour boats. The master bed and lounge were both very comfortable and having a washer and dryer was super handy. The kitchen had enough to make a real meal if needed.

The bathroom had very little privacy with the only toilet being separated from the master bedroom by just shutters. The shower has mould growing in it and it leaks terribly flooding the bathroom on every use. We had to make towel barriers around it every shower. The second bedroom was always hot as the a/c barely worked in there. The a/c also seems to be on a timer or something and kept shutting off by itself. We also put a request in for the second bedroom to be made up as a double bed well in advance as per the booking add says and we still ended up with 2 single beds. On the last night the person staying in the second bedroom ended up sleeping on the couch in the lounge as it was too hot in the second bedroom

Good location to nearby restaurants and nice view over Cairns marina but that is where the merits end.

There is no adjustment capability for the ducted aircon temperature or air flow, just freezing or off. Moreover, there is a 4 hour timer on the aircon resulting in inconveniently having to get up and switch it on again during the night. A very disrespectful scrooge attitude to renters paying at least $430 a night for the apartment. This has been remarked upon in reviews since at least 2022 with no fix. The shower door and floor drain are faulty resulting in water overflowing in the bathroom floor and into hallway carpet creating a slip hazard and possible damage to the carpet. Again, this was reported in reviews since 2002 with no fix. Accordingly, mould has developed around the outer corner of the shower enclosure. Downlight over bathroom sink not working. Instead of replacing downlight bulb, a small table lamp with no lamp shade was placed on left side of sink basin to provide light despite obvious water/electricity safety hazard. Several light bulbs elsewhere in apartment not working. Ancient and well used Sunbeam toaster can easily burn bread risking fire alarm going off and a risk of receiving $1,000 fire brigade call out fee for which renters would responsible. Toilet seat was very loose and wobbly. Bottom shelf on fridge door missing resulting in difficulty storing wine and other high bottles. Stained and unhygienic inner coverings of pillows in main bedroom. Aging plastic pendant light fitting over dining table is deteriorating with bits falling on our food plates. No expresso/capsule coffee making equipment which is expected these days in most apartments charging $430 per night. Just 3 or 4 simple granular coffee sachets along with some tea bags and a kettle provided that you would find in a 2 star motel. Very grubby white vinyl tops on bar stools on balcony. No facial tissues provided in the bathroom. No frying pan provided to use on hot plates, just an ancient electric frying pan. Very worn and unflattering soap dish in shower enclosure.
