    Clean appartment on arrival. Comfy bed and hot shower with equipped kitchen for self-catering. God location for exploring Cairns on foot. Near to large Cole’s supermarket for self-catering. Friendly staff with welcoming touches e.g. book swap shelf and some food provisions. Pool looked clean & inviting but we didn’t have time to use it. Recommended for a city stay.

    Property is located in a really good area! The hotel itself is a bit beat up but the rooms themselves are lovely and it’s nice to have your own apartment and kitchen for self catering!
