We chose a 1 bedroom deluxe apartment & it was compact but very clean & good self contained apartment with everything we needed. Big kitchen with large fridge, but no indoor eating table. Retiled new shower, washing machine, dryer in bathroom (timer wasn’t working & only hot cycle worked), comfortable queen size bed. Outdoor patio leading into nice pool area with good size dining table. It’s very close to Cairns Central Shopping Centre It is a dark apartment so have to have lights on. It isn’t sound proof so outside noises can be heard as well as some noises in other apartments & door between bathroom & bedroom is bifold so noises can be heard. It’s quite noisy in mornings with comings & going’s but generally quiet other times & security gates close at. 9.30 pm so quieter at night. The pools/spa were not heated The Kuranda rail line runs at back & it is near a main road

Complaint would be the wireless internet and the streaming device on the TV in our room was constantly dropping out and the internet was terrrible. Only other issue I was on crutches and we were placed on the top floor and there are no lifts this meant that we could not go out as planned due to this issue. The apartment was nice clean and well maintained just the above let it down.

We did not know there was no elevator for the apartment. We had a lot of luggage and I just had a knee replacement so the stairs were an inconvenience. The apartment was very muggy even with the a/c on. It was conveniently located for what we needed.

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.
