Sand flies Sand flies Midges Midges(apparently Midges are also a type of sand fly but worse). People have to note that The Lakes Resort is next to swamp land thus YOU may get bitten by the Sand Flies and destroy YOUR skin with the most intense itch EVER. I picked up mine next to swimming pool. BUYER BEWARE.

Hello G. We are sorry to hear that the sandflies/ midges took a like to you. You are correct The Lakes is named after Centennial Lakes which are located next door. Some times of the year the midges can be a lot worse than others and people react in different ways. This is an issue we deal with all over Cairns. Nevertheless we are sad to hear of your experience and hope that the itch does subside and you feel better soon.

Dear Guest We are sorry to hear that your car cannot drive into the underground garage, If the chassis of the car is particularly low, we have visitor car space near the building beside the driveway that guest can use. In addition, the garage height is between 2.0m to 2.2m. Kind regards

Toilet paper is not included! Which in one way is funny as an indicator of the company's approach to customers. It was explained to me, nicely, that toilet paper is not included as its an apartment. I replied that the wotif booking is per night and has no info about BYO basics like toilet paper. So the staff did 'give' me a replacement roll but usually people have to buy it! Also two of the stove top burners didn't work, the light or exhaust fan is not working for the stove, bulbs are missing in light fixtures and the toilet cystern runs constantly. Taking the top off the toilet, the water level mechanism could be sorted manually but seriously, who wants to do that. Its a residential apartment block and not at all focused on travelers' accom

Needs a refurb

One of the fans did not work, The small balcony was in the need of a sweep and a mop. Only one bathroom light was working. No DVD. Hallway smelt like a spice den.
