Comfortable large room and very friendly staff made the stay great. Especially since they helpfully agreed to keep our luggage for a couple of days as we stayed on a liveaboard. Friendly staff at the restaurant.

Perfectly located home in a nice neighborhood. I was surprised to be greeted daily by a Wallaby or two in the yard! The home is spacious and the perfect size for a family of four. Super comfortable beds! It was better than I had imagined.

The apartment was amazing and the presentation made the slight hiccup on arrival, worth the wait. Impressed with the coffee plus syrups, also nice touch with biscuits. Happy to recommend.

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.

I loved the view it was spectacular and the access to facility was superb. I love the feeling of staying in a luxurious room that was well stocked to my liking. That staff where also fabulous with accomodating any of my needs especially when I requested a bath tub prior to my arrival.
