Guest Reviews
- Clark (10/5): Brilliant location, clean and perfect. - Beautifully clean and the best possible location as we used it before and after a reef trip. Cheaper and far better than a hotel and the parking is very secure.
- Peter (10/5): - Location was great and was very quiet. Just a short walk to ferries, buses ,shops,bars and the cairns lagoon. Nothing
- David (8/5): - Buena ubicación. Apartamento espacioso para 2 personas, sobretodo la parte de la cocina y comedor. La habitación es algo más justa de tamaño El parking se paga aparte del alojamiento.
- Paula (8/5): Good spot in the city area. - Location Reception area was uninviting. Halls, elevators needed cleaning. There was nothing ‘pretty’ about the place.
Couldn’t sit on patio as rain came in and wet the chairs.
Aircon fan was blasting in my face while on patio.
Coffee machine was dirty.
Clothes left in dryer. Dirt on floor behind laundry door.
- Freya (9/5): - Everything was really clean, and it’s in a quiet area but still walking distance to everything. The kitchen area was well stocked - there’s a kettle, air fryer, microwave, etc
- Bernadette (10/5): Comfortable stay! - Excellent location, clean and comfortable ! Loved the big screen TV. Nice to have a small balcony for "fresh air" Good value for money.
- Rudie (8/5): -
- Mark (9/5): Location, convenience, well equipped and clean. - Good location. A little away from the action which is good for the quiet, while still being a short walk to the marina for Coral Sea excursions or to the rail. Other excursion companies that do inland stuff are familiar with the place for pickups. Good size apartment with all one needs to cook at home. Woolworths and other stores are a short walk. Nice decorations too.
- Harald (8/5): -
- Stormy (10/5): -
- Diana (6/5): -
- Lynette (9/5): -
- Chris (10/5): - The only thing I could suggest is a better blanket on the bed or the option of a spare blanket in the closet for the “just in case” situation
- Karolina (9/5): Great location, good facilities - Excellent location, close to the marina, Lagoon & shops. It was also walking distance to the Railway station. I liked that it had pool access and bbq area. Not related to the studio itself. But there's no luggage storage facility as we were "private guests" and not "hotel guests". The hotel could've been more accommodating to "private guests" but there was a hard "no" when we asked.
We managed to find a convenience store that could store our suitcase but it was a struggle to find anything open before 9am.
- Tayl fefeorkmor (9/5): -
- Lucinda (5/5): look elsewhere if you want a self contained apartment, or a view - the location was good there was a trip hazard at the bathroom door
the kitchen facilities were poor, one can not really cook here, no kitchen sink, only one kitchen knife, no cutting board and you are expected to take out your own rubbish when you have enough to deal with your own luggage
view over roofs and grafiti was dissapointing
- Badrya (10/5): -
- Harry (8/5): -
- Annie (10/5): - Location
- Shelley (10/5): - absolutely everything😊
- Cath (9/5): Comfortable in all ways, close to everything.would definitely stay again - The property is in an excellent location that is close to everything.
I really liked the extra touches of coffee, kitchen basics and detergents. Nothing to really complain about. Would have liked a spare blanket.
- Jessica (10/5): A nice place to stay in Cairns - Easy check in, good location & facilities.
- Max (9/5): -
- Kay (8/5): - Great Apartment

The comfiest bed I’ve ever slept on! Wow!
Walking distance to everything.
Full kitchen, Large balcony
Dining table and couch.
- Joseph (10/5): Great hotel for a couple nights before boarding a cruise ship in Cairns - The unit I had was owned/managed by Carolyn. Location was close to beach/pool, shopping, grocery, and cruise port. Studio room had a microwance, small refrigerator, hot air cooker, coffee maker, water boiler, electric skillet, and toaster. It also had an ample supply (for 2 people) of glasses, cups, plates, and utensils. The air-conditioner worked fine, the shower had hot water, and the toilet flushed. The balcony was OK, but didn't have a view. The WiFi was good and there was a nice flat panel TV with several cable channels. I booked through booking.com; and the price was excellent for the location and amenities, It was significantly cheaper than most other hotels in the area too. Needed another Australia to United States electrical adapter.
- Joy (9/5): Perfect for overnight stays. - Location and price Nothing
- Allan (10/5): - Great Location, great communication.
Easy access & comfortable. Felt right at home.

- Tony (9/5): -
- Tim (8/5): -
- Sarah Dorina (9/5): -
- Lisa (8/5): - Ideal location for us as it was very close to the convention centre and still walking distance to restaurants. Comfy room with all amenities. Shower grout needs a good scrub!
Being privately owned means bags cannot be left at reception. The pool was very disappointing, all concrete, very little space and access into the pool very steep and not suitable for my husband
- Jennifer (8/5): -
- Louisa (10/5): - I loved it very convenient and close to everything NA
- Gail (7/5): - Good communication. Comfortable, well appointed with kitchenette items. Photos were confusing, they are of two different apartments one large, one small. Small room for a couple but adequate for an over night stay. Very musty drain smell in bathroom.

- Stefan (10/5): -

- Laura (9/5): Great spot - Great location for the pier and central city.
- Kelly (9/5): Good location and amenities - WiFi was fast and reliable. Short walk to the marina and a Woolies. Pretty quiet at night. We enjoyed sitting out on the spacious balcony. The two burner cooktop wasn’t very useful. You couldn’t really use two pans at once.

- Alan (8/5): Very good -
- John (9/5): Great comfortable unit, great location, easy to walk around Cairns. - Great location, easy to walk around Cairns, lovely at this time of year.
Great unit with everything we wanted and needed. Everything worked well. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Very quiet. Undercover carpark and lift great.
First impression on entering unit very good, looked very nice. We personally don't like a shower without a door, as the water goes everywhere. A lower towel rail in the bathroom would have been helpful.

- Jodie (8/5): Very good -
- Pavel (9/5): Superb - Location is excellent, bed is comfortable, apartment is clean, free parking.
- Suzan (8/5): Very good -

No noise at all. 3 minute walk to convention centre and great restaurants on the river in the opposite direction Nothing. There is no pretty outlook. But I understood that. It's still very pleasant with the mountains in the distance surrounding the city.
- Andrew (10/5): Super apartment, ideally situated and good value for the location. - Spacious, modern, clean comfortable apartment in a super location - close to harbour front and shops. Carolyn is a lovely hostess and couldn’t have been more helpful. Nothing to dislike.

- Kim (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pauline (9/5): Comfortable apartment in a good location. - Location was good. Large furnished balcony. Very clean. Comfortable bed. Good undercover parking. Towels were a bit old particularly the pool towels. Tv unplugged behind a plant so spent some time trying to make it work. No handle on sliding bathroom door. Safe not operational so unavailable.

- Vivienne (8/5): Very good -

- John (9/5): Perfect short stay, value for money. Have stayed before, will stay again. - Excellent location, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Excellent communication with host who generously enabled an early check in and met us on site. Secure parking is a bonus.
- Linda (4/5): Disappointing - Parking,location,TV I didnt like that the owner took it upon herself to unlock and enter our room this morning prior to our checkout time.Not even a knock on the door. We were then asked to leave as she needed the room vacant and clean for guests arriving at 1100am.
Checkout clearly stated on our booking between 10-11am.
I found this to be disgusting behaviour from the owner.
Never ever will we stay there again or recommend to any of our friends or work colleagues that often require accommodation in Cairns.
- Krisztina (7/5): Good - Good location
Early check in It is in a hotel - no help as it is handel by privat person
- Rhiannon (10/5): Great apartment stay - Great apartment for a few nights stay in Cairns and would also be good for a longer stay. Appreciated the kettle, microwave, fridge and good amount of cutlery, condiments etc. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom. Really good location within 10 minutes walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Carolyn made check in extremely seamless and facilitated an early check in for us. Would book again if revisiting cairns. Nothing, we loved our stay

- Wienert (9/5): Superb - Location good, very clean and very welcoming Nothing to dislike

- Caz (5/5): Passable - The shower was amazing. The host was lovely and brought beach towels when requested. There was a tiny step between the bedroom and the bathroom which was dangerous. There was no coffee machine as mentioned. The safe did not work.
- Lilimaude (10/5): Exceptional -
- Parisa (9/5): Superb -
- Brian (9/5): Superb -
- De (8/5): Very good -
- Elaeth (10/5): Great - Carolyn offered me an earlier checkin and welcomed me at the property, It was very comfortable and walking distance to the esplanade and markets. I had the rooftop pool to myself which was a bonus. The pool was icy cold and had a view of Both the mountains and the river,
