For a budget hotel the property is excellent value. It may not be in the best area of Cairns but we felt completely safe and it is handy for the town and train station. The staff are friendly and check in is very easy. We stayed there for 2 nights with-a break in between, the first room was a bit tired looking but was clean with good facilities in the room. The second night the room was excellent and had obviously had a makeover although the shower pressure was very low. We would recommend as a value for money hotel.

The area was quiet, lovely pool and very close to amenities. There was only a little bit of noise when the train went past but that wasn’t through the night so not a problem. Pool could have done with some umbrellas to provide some shade as not really any natural shade throughout the day. The staff were a little rude, when reporting an issue with the TV I was met with a little attitude from a staff member. But other than that the place itself was perfect.

The rubbish collection on the property with large metal waste bins is very loud and in the early hours. Our room was right where the large truck made as much noise as possible.

Apartment was lovely and fairly spacious. Bed was comfortable and there was a balcony with table and chairs so nice area to chill. Pool areas were nice. Couldn't find a bin for recycling and it appeared everyone was putting theirs in general waste bin for landfill.

A very comfortable place top stay.
The apartment I had was clean and of reasonable size.It was fully contained - laundry, full size refrigerator, oven, good smart TV, etc. The only complaint is the design of the buildings. Every window & balcony looks directly into an other apartment's window & balcony. The pool view apartments have a bigger gap between the apartments. About a 1 minute walk to Cairns Central shopping complex, 10 minutes to the waterfront, 5 minutes to Rusty's Market and 8 minutes to the Night Market. The waterfront dining is about 12 minutes away walking.

The self contained apartments were ideal for our stay. It was spacious enough to stay for any length of time with all the amenities you need, modern kitchen, laundry, lounge and dining on the verandah which can be closed off for privacy or from the weather with louvre shutters. Brilliant idea.

Conveniently close to the Cairns shops. Lovely pool area. They could probably get rid of all the signage telling guests what not to do if they want guests to feel welcome and relaxed. The sign inside the dishwasher was a surprise. Otherwise a great place to stay.

The only thing that was a little frustrating was the wi fi at times was intermittent. And the Chromecast played up at times and on occasion hard to connect. Otherwise thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Would come back again.
