We had a very comfortable apartment, albeit a bit dated but perfectly functional. The saltwater pool is a gem and the garden areas beautifully landscaped. It was a little out of the centre of Cairns and with no nearby public transport that could be a problem for some.

The Customer service was great, very polite and kind, however, I arrived late on night 1, I established my fridge didn’t work, I informed reception. They got someone out (apparently) but it was never fixed. This for me was just disappointing as I select apartments with full kitchens for a reason. Not having a fridge for 4 days very very inconvenient, no compensation offered.
