“This property strikes me as a practical choice near Cairns, especially appealing for longer stays given the in-room kitchenettes. I appreciate the proximity to the Earlville shopping center and the promise of comfortable, if unfussy, rooms; the pool is a definite plus in the Queensland heat. It's a place to watch, especially after the planned refurbishment.”
