The location is very good with a good view. The unit has everything you’d need for a short stay. However, the interior could use some sprucing up with fresh paint & some pictures especially in the bedroom. The furniture is too big for the space in the living area. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect spot!
Loved our stay here! Apartment was perfect for our family, kids slept in the lounge with the best view of the ferris wheel. Location couldn’t be better it was our first time in Cairns and we were able to walk to all our reef tours and out to dinner each night. Night markets are directly under and lagoon literally out the front. Would book again, we had an amazing stay!

Great location
Perfect spot for our 4 days in Cairns. Nice view from balcony and very comfortable bed. Could be 5 stars…just needs a little paint job so the walls don’t look so dingy (our first impression). The apartment is in a great location to walk everywhere. Communication with owner is excellent.

Great apartment in an outstanding location
This is a great apartment in a very convenient location. It has a well equipped kitchen for self catering and is comfortable and very clean. The only downside is that the bedroom does not have a window but otherwise it ticks all the boxes.

Short stay with everything we wanted
Only two nights but everything was as good as advertised. Great location, beautiful view of ocean, very convenient to restaurants and our barrier reef cruise. We used washing machine and overnight hanging of laundry worked well. Comfortable beds and well equipped. Would highly recommend and hope to use this facility again

Perfect Location
We really enjoyed this accommodation, clean, easy to access, everything we needed, plenty of space and privacy. Just step out the entrance onto the main Esplanade Street and everything is right there (You will never go hungry!) Although there is a pool onsite, it is also only a one minute walk to enjoy the lovely Esplanade Pool. Six minutes walk to the Casino. Comfortable bed and the lazy boy couch was great. Large smart TV and the most beautiful view, especially of the Ferris Wheel just across the road at night.

Awesome view and perfect location!
Loved Darrell’s apartment! It had the best views and is a great location! We had lots of questions since this was our first stop in Australia and we appreciate that Darrell was happy to answer them! The apartment was very clean and was well equipped...coffee, spices, oils, linens, etc. The apartment was very secure! It was great having a long walk path along the ocean just steps away. We are loving Australia...The Great Barrier Reef is amazing! Thank you for everything!

Perfect location
I have no complaints whatsoever with this property. We arrived tired and cranky after an fllight landed at 2am. The check in process was so easy. It is perfect for either a couple or small family. We were a family of 3. The trundle bed was perfect for my 9 year old son but the main bed was so big he slept in with us each night! 30 seconds down the lift or stairs and you are on the esplanade. All utilies provided and we were not lefting wanting or needing anything at all. Im certain we will be back. Thank you Darrell..

Accuracy of statements regarding the property
This is a nice place with a great location. However, the statement that there is a Washer AND Dryer is not correct. There is NO Dryer, only a small drying rack on the balcony. If one wanted to dry clothes with a machine there is one available for a charge in the basement, which means that you have to haul wet clothes downstairs, pay for the drying and stay with the drying . That is not acceptable when it is stated that there is a DRYER in the unit. Also, there is no discussion that one could set off the fire alarm by taking a shower! The scare factor that the fire alarm could go off at any time if there was a bit of fog or heat in the unit is very upsetting. There is no ventilation at all except when the balcony doors are open. No vent in the bathroom no vent in the kitchen. The sofa is extremely uncomfortable to sit on and watch TV. The view is terribly marred by the huge Ferris Wheel on the beach which has extremely bright lights till late at night, which shine directly into the unit even through the shutter drapes. Overall a good place to stay but with some issues, especially the NO dryer and the fire alarm.
