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.

This was an amazing place to stay and we are sad that it was only for one night. Everything is thought out to the last detail, there is coffee and tea always available in the hallway for free, the design of the room is amazing. The staff is super friendly and they offer luggage storage. We also had dinner and breakfast at their restaurant and both were super delicious and reasonably priced. Highly highly recommend!

This property is at the northern end of Cairns, so it is out of the 'hustle and bustle' of Cairns - which we loved. But - it is still walking distance to bars and restaurants. Parking on level 1 is easy - and getting your luggage from the car to your room is easy. The room is spacious and comfortable - great balcony overlooking the ocean and the park. Pool is great. They are doing some renovations to the property when we visited - Feb 24 - but it will look great when finished.

The bedrooms and bathrooms were very spacious. There was a balcony off both rooms with plenty of space to enjoy the views. The kitchen was very well equipped if you wanted to do a big cook up. Having a separate laundry room was great as well, there was so much storage and space in the apartment.

The pools are awesome at this hotel. Our family room was on the backside of the hotel overlooking the lap pool and it was a truly great room. Spacious balcony, little kitchen and two seperate rooms which made it great for the kids to have their own room with another tv too. Quiet, clean and comfortable beds. This room was a winner!
