Take no notice of what this place looks like on the outside. Our apartment was perfect for our stay in Cairns. It was well appointed with everything we needed, comfortable and conveniently located near the center of town.

Property access after hours average in wet weather and no lighting. Steps and stairs very steep with high step up made carrying luggage difficult. Very basic inclusions.

Room 3 at the front of Escape on Lake was nice, clean,modern, small but comfortable for 2 adults and we stayed 3 nights. Close to the centre of Cairns it is a quick walk to local eateries and also a 10 minute walk to the waterfront and also where the ferries leave for Green Island and Fitzroy. We were given clean towels each day, nice but would have been happy with one st for 3 days. On the down side it was noisy at night periodically, which disturbed my sleep. The rooms themselves are above a car rental place and are up one set of stairs. There is no parking only street parking which is metered at certain hours.
