“These self-contained apartments in Cairns CBD offer a compelling value for extended stays, especially with full kitchens. I think that the central location places guests within easy reach of Rusty's Market and the Esplanade Lagoon. That rooftop terrace alone makes this spot a smart pick, and I noticed that free secure parking is included, which is a plus in this area.”
