The property is very dated and in need of a Reno. The mattress was damaged and the springs made a twanging noise every time I got in and out of bed. The lady at reception showed no interest in fixing it. The lady at reception treated customers as though they were an inconvenience to her day. Some garbage truck came in and clanged and had its reversing noise on shortly after 6:00am every other day. After electing not to pre-pay the apartment tried to charge my credit card anyway. The pools were ok but squashed in between apartment blocks and therefore never saw sunlight and therefore were cold.

loved this apartment, had everything i needed for my weeks stay and cooking. microwave, stove and large fridge, toaster and kettle and the balcony is spacious , i had a nice pool view and could enjoy the peaceful sunsets. secure complex with plenty of parking. loved the pool area, 3 pools and multiple jacuzzis and BBQs and plenty of seating. the gym was a bonus, 4 cardio machines and some dumbells and other small equipment. the on-site store has essentials and cold drinks if needed. the mall is across the road so coles/bws/woollies all on your door step and only 10 mins walk to the esplanade. only down side was my block room was close to the main road making lots of traffic noise late /super early on working days which even ear plugs couldnt block. there are also many trees on the site attracting noisy birds! would definitely return when back in cairns

We arrived in Cairns by train and the apartments are a stone's through from the main station and the shopping mall. It's also just a 15 minute walk from the quayside with many great restaurants and is the gateway to exploring the Great Barrier Reef. The swimming pool (beside the BBQ area) was a welcome relief on thos hot sticky days.

Fantastic self contained apartments!

My husband & I booked in at the last minute for 5 nights due to a change in plans as a result of the cyclone in Brisbane. Very pleasantly surprised with the studio apartment - very clean & modern & had everything we needed, including kitchenette and washer/dryer. Great value for money too. Only a 15-20min walk to the esplanade (we walk fairly quick!) & right next door to Coles supermarket (5mins walk max!). Pools were lovely albeit it the sun bed area was quite small and didn’t leave much room for being able to walk past! Only negative was that the gyms air con didn’t work and given the heat & humidity in cairns, there was no way I could work out without aircon!
