The presence of full kitchens and laundry facilities makes longer stays appealing, while the multiple pools and fitness center add resort-style leisure. Its location, a short walk from both Cairns Central and the Esplanade, positions it well for accessing the city's attractions.”

The gym was small, but it had the cardio machines and weights I needed. Great to get a workout in while on vacation.

The free parking was a huge plus! The car park gates close at 7pm, so keep that in mind for late nights.
