Guest Reviews
- Marie (7/5): -
- Wade (8/5): -
- Belgica (8/5): -
- John Heath (7/5): Very satisifed - Location and Facilties were great Age of the complex - good to see renovations being done
- Emma (6/5): Perfect quick get away - The location was very convenient and the pool facilities were great! It was good to have the kitchen and laundry in the apartment. The apartment could have been cleaned a lot more throughly, it was overall dusty and grimy.
- Paul (10/5): - Nice and spacious, central
- Tracy (8/5): good enough - The room was large and spacious and accommodated the two of us nicely with two rooms and two bathrooms. The view was nice and the pool was really good. There was an awful smell in the room that kept giving me a headache - we aired it out quite a bit but it was like an incense/cooking smell that wouldn't go away. It also could do with a thorough deep clean of the apartment.
- Ellen (10/5): - Very nice and spacious, quiet and relaxing đ
- JULIE (6/5): Family friendly unit - We had very limited time in that unit so we were not able to enjoy the pool. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay in the unit because of the space and the two separate bathrooms Cant say much because we only stayed for few hours before checking out again in the morning.
- Rudolf (10/5): -
- JUN (10/5): -
- Graham (7/5): Comfortable, good base for a holiday - Great location, had everything we needed but it needed some updating. Confusing to initially get into the property. There are different codes for different areas. Once we got our keys and could come in through the basement it was easier
- Melinda (7/5): We would recommend if they gave the apartments a really good deep clean and did some maintenance work. - Good location, walking distance to restaurants. Nice pool. Large apartments We booked two apartments and both had things wrong. No tea towels, no washing detergent. The door in the three bedroom apartment bathroom would just lock and you had to use a knife to get in. There were dishes in the dishwasher when we arrived.
The two bedroom apartment bathroom door was not cleaned, had mud or something splattered up it. Ensuite towel rail was falling off. It wasnât a very clean apartment. Also had no tea towel.
The cushions were not cleaned, covered in stains. Both apartments needed a really good deep clean.
- Karolina (10/5): -
- Samantha (10/5): - Perfect location on the waterfront of Cairns. Accessible to cafes, shops and facilities
- Amar (10/5): -
- Joy (10/5): -
- Koschel (8/5): Good -
- William (10/5): As above - Location on the Esplanade at North Cairns. Could walk down foreshore towards CBD from front door.
Apartment included clothes washer and dryer, full kitchen including dishwasher, 2nd bedroom and front yard.
Car park had 2.05m clearance and parking spot was allocated to each unit.
Friendly help from Manager Min and facilities guru Luke.
Just outstanding. As above
- Mary Anne (7/5): The apartment block is getting a bit on but is on the whole clean and quiet. - The gentleman at reception was exceptional. We have stayed in many places, this stay was to be in the one apartment for 5 nights but due to issues with the first apartment we had to move to another. We then had no hot water in the second so had to move to a 3rd. None of this was an issue with reception. We have never had to ask for a move any other time in our travels.
The apartments are clean and fairly well equipped for cooking. Good size fridges, varying sizes in TVs and how smart they are. Two out of the three rooms had smart TV's. The location is a fairway from the town centre, which is what we wanted, so if you need to walk to get grocery's or meals, it is a decent walk back. Our first room was #6 on the ground floor. As soon as we walked in we noticed a very unpleasant smell. We turned the fans and air conditioners on and went for a walk (the long one to the centre), had a bite to eat, walked back and that smell was still there (mold smell). We then ordered via Uber (due to the distance to walk to Coles) some room oil diffusers, put those on until bed time but wasn't leaving them on over night. Well, that horrid smell woke us up at 4am and that was it, we could not stay in that room. Hence the great effort by the reception to move us. This is the room that had a very small, not smart TV. The other two apartments were great, no one could anticipate the hot water unit having a fault in the second one. Again, reception was great.
- Barbel (6/5): - Clean and easy access Beds were hard and the springs were noisy, none of the controls worked . As we arrived on the weekend we had to buy batteries. Aircon in the main bedroom couldnât be controlled. Didnât like the different codes and keys
- Macca (9/5): -
- Beverly (10/5): - Staff were very friendly and very helpful in any questions or bookings only one issue the oven kept tripping
- Phillip (8/5): Great on a budget for a short stay - Great pool,great location The kettle was dangerous as it leaked onto power board and the pillows very uncomfortable
- Jason (9/5): -
- Shaju (3/5): - Location Cleanliness,
When we entered the property, there were a lot of cockroaches flying in the kitchen, it was terrifying for my kids
- Philipp (5/5): -
- Chloe (10/5): - Very spacious living room/ kitchen.
The view from the balcony was stunning.
Very clean and comfortable beds.
- Lee (4/5): Not what we expected. Very dated. - Location The room was not very clean with stained curtains. Dirty floors and mould around the side of the washing machine. Very small couch leaking kettle. One teaspoon to share. Bins in carport overflowing and smelly.
- John (9/5): Worked well for us in the pleasant area of north cairns - The quality and layout were good. Level of equipment was good. A little bit of vehicle noise from Lake Street and dirt on the floor of the balcony.
- James (10/5): Relaxing - Ease of checkin and check out, parking was good, location and views wonderful NIL
- Christine (9/5): - Bathroom shower mould
- Kerry (10/5): -
- Richard (8/5): It was great I want to purchase an appartment like that in Cairns - Great ambience

- Damien (8/5): -
- Nancy (8/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): -
- Francois (7/5): -
- Isobella (7/5): pleasant, roomy, with some upgrades needed - nice spacious apartment, big lawn and patio for our grandson to play on 2nd room was very small and the bed was too short for our son, The patio was dirty and had rubbish stuck at the drain outlet. I received 3 messages to make sure we were aware of checkout time. I felt harassed and under pressure and consequently left my medicine in the fridge in the rush to vacate. When i phoned the next day i was told it would have been thrown out by the cleaner and there was no chance o0f retrieval. That was disappointing as it was expensive medicine and i thought there might have been some sort of conscious steps taken for things that get left behind accidentally.
- Brayden (5/5): Underwhelming cleanliness in a good location. - The property was in a good location near the Cairns coastline and a short drive from the centre of town.
Plenty of room and comfy bed.
Good communication explaining check in and check out process before arrival. The apartment I stayed in has seen better days. The bathroom was riddled with mould, including copious amounts on the floor and walls of the shower and even growing on the roof. It clearly had not been cleaned properly in a long time and felt unhygienic.
The little kitchen was missing items including key items like a chopping board.
Only a single blanket, and no quilt was provided in the whole apartment.
- barbara (7/5): Spacious and well equipped in a pleasant location, but lacking in senior friendly items. - was spacious and well equipped, was quiet inside apartment, had walk in shower; location near Esplanade and park was lovely. balcony useless due to traffic noise; bathroom could have been cleaner; a view on Esplanade side would have been been preferred; mattress a bit saggy; supplying own toilet paper was unexpected; steps up to reception and then down and up to entry was not good for senior citizens.
- Graeme (10/5): Good unit - Great unit. Clean and comfortable. Plenty of room. Good security with good undercover parking.
- Irinieta (8/5): Very good -
- Sandra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chris (10/5): would definitely stay again - great location and a very roomy apartment The single beds were a little uncomfortable
- Amorita (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kaye (8/5): Very good - Having a ground floor apartment was easier to transport luggage
- Pip (7/5): Good - N/A
The space. Not comfortable and welcoming. Sparcely furnished.
Noted a few maintenance jobs needed.
The pictures we saw were definitely not the apartment we had!
- Trent (10/5): - Great location, right on the esplanade but still quiet
- Zhiyong (6/5): - The rooms have smell and noise. The balcony has a good view.
- Stewart (10/5): - Nice easy access to airport and town centre
- Mandy (8/5): Very good -
- Robert (2/5): Very unpleasant, wonât be back - Nothing Stained couch and carpets
Dirty windows
Mattress and pillows dirty
Patio dirty and cigarette buts in flower pots
Noise from neighbours dogs
Unpleasant smell in living area
Will not return here
- Kris (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vele (10/5): Exceptional - The location was convenient, close to busstop and spacious apartments
- Annie (4/5): Location was a long walk to the Main Street. - Lovely pool, bbqâs and grounds. The court yard was dirty, shower head broken, towel rail broken, light in bathroom not working, fan in bedroom two speeds not working.
- Sharon (9/5): Wonderful location, amenities & staff - Very clean, great facilities, location & the staff were so easy to deal with & very accommodating. Nothing
- Ron (5/5): Passable - Locartion
PoolThe main bathroom The towel rail in the bathroom was broken and falling off the wall
The TV did not have internet access
- Catherine (9/5): Superb - The pool was great The unit was sparsely furnished with minimal kitchen equipment.
- Andrew (7/5): Good -
- Jody (8/5): Very good -
- Di (9/5): Superb - Location a bit far away from centre. No breakfast was included The airport noise
- Esmeralda (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the fact it was a home away from home. Walking distance to the CBD and beautiful view of the esplanade...
Had all the utilities needed to make my stay with my son comfortable.
The two separate bedrooms and bathrooms allowed us privacy and my son loved swimming in the pool.
Highly recommended.
P.S the cleaning staff was so friendly and was happy to help with any questions we had. He deserves a raise!
- Victoria (4/5): Shabby and not very chic - Largely residential apartment block. The room I was given was in very poor condition and not very clean. No flyscreens on the sliding doors or windows so the a/c has to be on to get any air. Poor communication from management/reception about pretty much everything. Note for future customers - donât return your keys to reception before you get your car out of the car park. Particularly if it is out of hours. I had to wake up a resident to help me get back down to my car.
- Leslie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andy (8/5): Good location with amicable space -Literally 5 mins taxi from airport and 30 mins walk to centre (great location) - Location
Privacy
Spacious Could of been cleaner in areas in apartment
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- Len (8/5): Very good - Good size and condition
- Ron (9/5): Superb - Great unit very roomy. Comfortable bed Two seater lounge
- Pratik (8/5): Good apartment for a large family - Good apartment for large family. The rooms were pretty good and clean. The swimming pool was clean and well maintained. Overall a very good experience staying here. The reception staff also gives discount coupons for cairns attractions like thec rocodile tour etc so make sure to ask for that.
One small shortcoming was not having the flexibility to extend the checkout. We requested for checkout to be moved by just one hour but received a stern no and they wanted us to vacate at 10 AM sharp. Keeping that aside it was worth the money.
- Odisho (10/5): Exceptional - Location, roomy, clean, helpful staff
- Aken (8/5): Other then that I liked it - The scenery, nice quiet Had trouble opening the room door
- Aisling (10/5): Will be back! - Everything went smoothly, no issues at all N/A
- Tasmin (4/5): Nice stay. not very clean - Pool was nice Mould all over bathroom and roof in bathroom due to not having a fan. Dirty grout in tiles. Kitchen cupboards had funny smell. Staff never at reception. No option for new bath towels for 4 night stay
- Peter (8/5): Good Value for the location - Close to beach and central cairns Over the week I had to kill 3 small cockroaches not a great add for the apartment
- Nicola (10/5): Very comfortable apartment in excellent location - Very comfortable, spacious apartment. Well equipped. Close to north end of Esplanade and the mangrove area (great for birdwatching). Lovely lady at reception. Nothing
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emma (8/5): Good stay in self contained apartment - Lovely pool area, nice patio, good kitchenette and friendly staff Location is a decent half an hour walk from the centre of Cairns
- Sreeraj (5/5): Decent place to stay - Location Cleanliness, bathroom shower was poor quality, no exhaust fans in bathrooms.
- Denise (6/5): - The apartment was dated and we had to clean the spa bath with the shower over it because it was very dirty before we could use it.
Also we could not walk around without shoes as the floor was dirty even though it looked clean.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Apartment was very dated. Mattress was deeply indented on one side so was uncomfortable.
- Tracy (10/5): Lovely - Apartment was spacious and had everything we needed, we only stayed one night but would definitely stay longer next time, and enjoyed the pool. Signage to the pool would be helpful or a map in the apartment to show you where the pool and your way around the building would be good.
- Kim (10/5): - Comfortable stay. Secure. Off street parking.
- Shane (8/5): Very good -
- Patricia (6/5): - Poor water pressure in bathroom. Could do with rail to assist out of spa bath. Poor cooking pans, need upgrade.
Front Door very hard to open. Good laundry facilities. Floors not very clean. Wi fi c unable to connect last 2 days. Kitchen areas need clean. Bed was small but the sheets were so big.
- Spider (8/5): Very good -
- Kirsty (2/5): Great location , had potential but completely disappointed will never waste my money again - Location was great Lack of cleanliness, mould in air conditioning and roof, broken tiles with sharp edges , informed management of injury caused by tiles and was ignored
- Judy (5/5): It was ok but wouldn't rush back - Great location & really quiet. The staff were really lovely and helpful. The unit we were allocated was old and tired and desperately needs updating. There was mould on the cement of the outdoor area and the garden was overgrown.
- Patrick (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, kind and friendly staff
- Fred (7/5): Salvaged by an apartment move - First placed (for 2 nights) in a sub-standard apartment but moved to a better one for final 3 nights. The first apartment was noisy, sparsely furnished and not well cleaned.
- Patrick (10/5): Exceptional - Staff very kind and friendly
- Geoff (4/5): Must be better options - entry code front gate before finding reception. Bar B Q & pool area were very good. Kitchen was quite well equipped. Advertised as 'beachfront' but don't think this means your rooms will be. Carpark is a bit of a nightmare, no order to parking allocation. Place is a bit tired, rooms lack any 'ambience' & I think the lounge suite came off the Ark (not at all comfortable). Not recommended.
- Lesley (7/5): Very comfortable and thank you for the four single beds - Provided our own breakfast. Location was perfect. Extra bin liners; towels; washing liquid (clothes); more kitchen utensils/ non stick fry pan
- Melissa (7/5): Good - Good location, price is not too bad The units needed a facelift, and there was a thick layer of dust on lamps and other surfaces. The second smaller bedroom smelled moldy all the time.
- Layla (10/5): Excellent stay - Everything âşď¸ N/A
- Amanda (7/5): Probably on a par for cost with similar apartments, but a long walk into town and decor very dated. - Minh addressed my concerns about a dirty floor in the aoartment. He listened to my suggestions about small things that would make the stay more pleasant. He was very helpful, polite, cheerful and efficient and helped to make a tour booking.
The unit was roomy and the rollaway bed provide was comfy. Sheets were sharp and clean. Close to the esplanade, so easy access to the walk into Cairns city. Road outside not too busy or noisy. Plane noise but not loud. Apartment well insulated - didn't hear any neighbours. Lovely big balcony.
The pool is FABULOUS. Clean and big. .The mink blankets provided did not smell clean, so as there was a new very efficient washing machine in the apartment I washed them. Thin washable duvets would have been nicer and classier. The apartment is very spartan, 4 bowls, plates, sets of cutlery. Mingy provision of washing up materials - no dishbrush or hand wash. No provision of basics except for sachets of tea and coffee and a small box of longlife milk. No salt and pepper or sugar or provision of basic foodstuffs at all. That would be nice. A squeegee mop and bucket would have been great as then I could have mopped the floors which got dirty as we were there for a week. More towels needed as a longer stay, but Minh provide swimming towels when I mentioned this - but not provided in the apartment.. No info book provided or that I found. Very ancient phone with no explanation of its purpose. Decor very yellow and dated. Bath with high sides for a shower, again very dated. It would have been good if someone had removed the washing rack from the palm tree outside the balcony.
- Lin (7/5): Good - Pool area was lovely, the grounds and the staff too The unit needed a real clean, corners and fans were very dirty, the whole unit needed a good scrub and repaint
- Melissa (7/5): Good -
- Jo (7/5): Good. - Location was great. Size and layout of apartment is generous. Kitchen is well appointed. Good patio, with easy access to pool. . The apartment is shabby and needs a repaint and repairs.
Dents and marks on walls, and curtains. Some fittings in bathroom are very loose and the cavity slider door needs adjustment.
- Naomi (9/5): Great location and room for large groups - Location was great right on the esplanade and spacious appartments. Nothing
