We thank you for your feedback

The Lakes Resort Cairns had lovely gardens throughout and was in an excellent location for the Tobruk Memorial Pool. However, our apartment didn't appear to have been cleaned properly - there were empty chip packets on the living room floor and empty toothpaste in the bathroom. A nice spot but things could have been cleaner.

Well looked after property, I liked the non contact key pickup also the unit was well stocked, my only issue was the stairs because of my knee issue but next time I will request a lower floor this is my fault

The Lakes - back on track... used to stay here a bit but starting staying elsewhere as the gardens and cleaning left a lot to be desired for awhile. Looks like they have done a deep clean and the gardens are gorgeous again. Friendly, helpful staff ... would stay again

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.
