The apartment was lovely with high quality furnishings and appliances. It was spacious with a balcony overlooking the sea plus a pool for residents’ use. It was in a quiet location, although a little way out, but within walking distance of the city. The staff member who greeted us was very friendly and helpful. The parking area was fenced and secured.

Staff communication was good. The pool was a nice spot to relax for a few hours. Pleasant walk along the esplanade to the Cairns CBD. Having a washer and dryer was convenient.

Great location on the Esplanade with a view of the sea and a swimming pool. Room had a washer, dryer and dishwasher. They provided washing powder and dishwasher tablets which was very convenient. Wifi was okay.
