The house was cosy and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. As I was travelling alone I thought the shared bathroom would bother me, but it was fine. The house was very clean and tidy and there was a good breakfast selection.

I loved the ambience, true to it's name- it looked just like a Colonial Club would have in the old days. The rooms are beautifully placed, surrounded by tropical gardens. The design of the resort revolves around the pool, bar cum grill restaurant. It is family friendly and child friendly as well. It is a short drive from the CBD, but not within walking distance. Very close to the Cairns Botanical Gardens.
