We stayed for 3 days, the 2 bedroom apartment had everything that we needed. The rule book was a bit daunting eg: sugar satchel 10 cents, everything had a price. We did have to wash all cutlery and glasses before we used them as they were dirty. BBQ in pool area was filthy. We did have a very relaxing time and the walk to shops and restaurants is not very far.

At first we thought the AC was just kickstarting. But coming back to a unit that's hot on a hot and humid day is not pleasing at all. We then noticed the AC was not cooling as expected, we left it to cool the room but came back to a hot room again (we were drenching and fanning profusely) as the aircon turned off by itself. Tried to cool the room again at 18c but nope, the aircon was not cooling at all even at the bedrooms. Whenever we come bavk there was a pool of water just under the lounge AC. We couldn't complain at time as we were busy out and about and it's late whenever we come back to the apartment. Sensored AC is not ideal specially on hot humid days. Management should consider your paying tenants not just them being able to save.

Our stay was ok… we booked it with the intent of it being just a place to sleep & shower and would spend very little time here. It was clean I’ll give them that and the bathroom was relatively new. Our balcony had a nice view over the back garden. We booked & paid for a portacot which on arrival was told they had none left so our 2 month old had to sleep in her pram which was not ideal. Our aircon in the main room stopped working on day 2/4. Didn’t bother asking for maintenance as it’s time consuming & didn’t want someone in our room. I did think booking this place it would be closer to everything (or anything) beware it’s a big walk!! Next time I’d book near the esplanade now having visited. All in all it was OK.

Our holiday in NQ

Tradewinds McLeod holiday apartments in Cairns is a very good and convenient venue for holiday makers. I am happy to recommend this to anybody who is planning to travel to NQ. Nice rooms and a living room, neat and clean kitchen and bathroom, beautiful pool, safe on-site parking - with everything I am looking for. My family will be here again during our next visit to NQ.

Trip to Cairns

Here are a few tips you should know before you book at the tradewinds: 1 - wireless wifi is only for 1 devise and is not included in your stay. 2- They charge for extra toilet paper (you get 1 roll)!!! 3 - They charge for sugar/coffee/small milk/tea bags and may other things. 4 - They nickel and dime you for basic ammonites that are typically included daily at a hotel. 5 - The location is a further walk from the lagoon then lead to believe. (30 min brisk walk)

Below average

Quite far from town, not really close to anything interesting. The place is getting a bit run down and could do with a face lift. Staff are a bit arrogant and just not the best place in Cairns to stay, even tho its rather cheap... I wouldnt stay there again.

Too much effort when your on holidays

Initially we were told the room would be left unlocked as we were going to be a late check in (only 8pm) and that we would have to wait until the morning to pickup keys. This was frustrating as we were planning on going out for food and drinks once arriving in Cairns. In the end the manager happened to still be there so we were able to get keys that night. They also don't seem happy about people booking through a 'third party' as the manager kept saying (such as Hotels). Probably won't book there again as it's just too much effort having to deal with the manager when it shouldn't be!
