Ideally located in the scenic and quieter area of the Esplanade- away from the noise of the clubs, bars and traffic- but only an easy 10 minute walk to the main attractions, the Pier and Cairns City...

After staying in a room I switched to an apartment and it was perfect. Newly-refurbished and with lots of space and all of the amenities necessary to make the stay enjoyable.

Lovely big apartment well equipped, loved the big balcony, several seats and tables which was good with the view over the harbour on one side and view into Cairns centre on the other. Plenty of room and comfy bed. Also really liked the L'Occitane tioletries which smelled lovely. There was a washing machine & tumble dryer as we were on holiday for a month and it came in very handy. The apartment is a 5-10 Min walk from the centre and all the lovely restaurants eg. Dundee etc right on your doorstep. It was so easy to get on boats at the harbour for trips. Lovely property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cairns there.
