Rooms with a veiw!
The apartment was amazing, fresh, clean and every room had a sliding glass door to the wrap around balcony! 7 windows and 6 of them were sliding doors! Close to shopping, food and the famous Cairns lagoon, where even when it was raining, was full of people, 100% would stay there again

Well located
We stayed here for 3 nights during our 2.5-week trip to Australia and NZ. As Cairns was in the middle of our trip, we booked the one-bedroom apt to utilize the washer/dryer (located in the bathroom). Though the room was a bit dated, it had a beach resort feel, and the bed was comfortable. We also enjoyed the balcony where we had both the mountain and the lagoon view. The check-in process was smooth, and the receptionists were friendly. We even got some snacks to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The location was perfect, right across the lagoon and a 5-7-minute walk to the ferry terminal. We also enjoyed the short walk to the night market and the Little Sister restaurant. Parking is complimentary and attached to the hotel should you need one. There was a Woolworths behind the hotel.

The hotel was very good and the location cannot be beaten. Covered parking and lots of restaurants nearby were very convenient.
