Great location. Friendly staff. No housekeeping but all amenities kept at reception. Good breakfast choices. REALLY great location, right by lagoon and night market. Probably best location in all of Cairns in our opinion.

Hotel was very convenient near the harbor, restaurants and parks. We were in Cairns to see the barrier reef and the hotel was 3 minutes away from the harbor. The rooms were excellently appointed. The decor was fresh and new. The beds were awesome and really comfortable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cairns

Lovely room that overlooked the sea and very comfortable and well laid out. Very good linen on the bed. The wifi could be patchy for me in the room.
