Really beautiful apartment. Plenty of room and great location! Really central and close to everything. We were really able to appreciate the beauty of Cairns. The only downside was a loud noise though the night, we think it might have been the plumbing and people using showers. It was really loud and would wake us up.

The apartment was fantastic both in terms of the apartment itself and the location. The apartment was a really good size and was very well equipped. Being right on the harbour was central for everything we wanted to do. Great restaurants within walking distance. Can’t fault it……would definitely recommend.

The location is good, close to the Reef Fleet Terminal, Esplanade Lagoon, and restaurants. Although check-in front desk is at another location, the staff are nice and helpful. We had problem with the wifi the second day, but was fixed when reported right away. We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit. The unit was very spacious and nice. The only issue was the water condensation on the windows. They were mostly wet the whole time. Not sure if that was due to extreme hot weather outside and AC inside the unit. The views were lovely and the balcony was quite large to sit outside and enjoy the views.
