I enjoyed the lovely studio apartment and appreciated the extra special touches by the owner, the snack basket, extra towels and toilet roll, also washing powder for washing clothes and it goes on ! The location to me was perfect close to Cairns Central shopping centre and train station and a short 15 minutes to the esplanade!

Great location and views; spacious; large, well-equipped kitchen; laundry with clothes airer (and they even had pegs - a rarity!); comfortable beds; clean and modern. Pretty much everything you want or need in a holiday apartment. Way better than the chain hotels we have tried in the area.
