"View across to Cairns and up to the mountains was very relaxing and with a largish lounge area separate to the King bedroom there is plenty of room to relax if it is an extended stay."

"We found the room nice and comfy, there was a pub next door which was open until 9pm for meals, the bus went straight past on Sheridan St so even if you didn't have a car public transport was close by."
