We had Villa 5 which was very private and extremely spacious. All day sun was great, nice views out of all windows. The kitchen was amazingly well equipped and the dining area very nice. There is a huge outdoor patio with another dining area. More than we could even hope for! Stay here if you can, we can’t praise it enough.

This property truly exceeded our expectations. It was spacious, clean, and modern, offering all the comforts of home and more. The apartment was well-equipped with everything we could possibly need, including a washing machine and dryer, which were incredibly helpful for staying on top of laundry during our stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with essentials such as a toaster, oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, and even some spices. There were also plenty of cleaning supplies available. The layout was perfect for our needs, with three bedrooms and four beds in total, two bathrooms with spacious showers, and a cozy living room. We particularly enjoyed the balcony with seating, as well as the large dining table. One of the highlights was the big kitchen with a huge glass window that offered a view of the Kuranda Railway train passing by. The property had thoughtful touches throughout, including multiple charging ports, fans in each room and on the balcony, and air conditioning. The lighting was adjustable, and the bathroom was generously sized with a massive mirror, two shower heads, and toiletries like shampoo and conditioner provided. The location was also fantastic, allowing us to reach key destinations in less than 15 minutes, whether it was the city, supermarkets, the Kuranda Railway, or beautiful waterfall spots like the Crystal Cascades. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay, and we highly recommend it.

Great location close to everything! The receptionists were all very friendly and very helpful. The environment is very cozy and throughout the stay was so comfortable and relaxing. I would like to give extra credits to the receptionists that helped to get back the toys my two year old son threw over the balcony to the property below us! We appreciated their help so much and we highly recommend them if you want to look for 5 stars accommodation in Cairns! 😊😊😊

The hotel is terrific. The room was lovely. The layout was chic and modern, and cool. The bed was very comfortable. The facilities were great and the staff were very friendly and professional. The little balcony gave good views of the sea, the esplanade and Cairns, and those views were superb from the 9th floor! It's a uniquely furnished/finished hotel that pleases the eye. Parking was easy and undercover.
