My partner and I stayed in a King Suite and it was so lovely, clean and comfortable with modern touches. The layout was spacious, practical and made sense. I loved that the hotel provided a "courtesy room" to use after check-out, as we wanted to take a shower and freshen up before heading to the airport. We did not dine at the hotel's restaurants, but they looked nice. Muddy's Cafe was just a short walk away from the hotel which we highly recommend! As for parking, it was AUD15/ day for secure underground parking or free parking right in front of the hotel. Housekeeping was tidy and very efficient. The pools were fantastic. We would stay here again if we came back to Cairns. Thanks to the lovely team who made our babymoon stay very memorable!

My wife and I came here for our honeymoon. The location is great, close to the sea. If people would like to see the Great Barrier Reef, the pier is just downstairs and there are restaurants nearby. Special thanks go to the staff here! We checked-out on February 7th and were about to fly to Melbourne. At this time, my wife suddenly felt not well and was going to pass out. The two ladies at the front desk immediately helped me contact the emergency. The manager helped us lie down in a comfortable place before the ambulance arrived, and brought the AED equipment, set up a privacy space with curtains, and finally helped us keep our luggage. After returning from the hospital, we stayed one more night. The hotel staff quickly helped me check in, delivered my luggage to our room, and also gave us a fruit plate. We appreciate it so much to the staff here! Your warm and welcoming atmosphere gave us an unforgettable memory. One last thank you to the staff who helped us!

We had Villa 5 which was very private and extremely spacious. All day sun was great, nice views out of all windows. The kitchen was amazingly well equipped and the dining area very nice. There is a huge outdoor patio with another dining area. More than we could even hope for! Stay here if you can, we can’t praise it enough.

This property truly exceeded our expectations. It was spacious, clean, and modern, offering all the comforts of home and more. The apartment was well-equipped with everything we could possibly need, including a washing machine and dryer, which were incredibly helpful for staying on top of laundry during our stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with essentials such as a toaster, oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, and even some spices. There were also plenty of cleaning supplies available. The layout was perfect for our needs, with three bedrooms and four beds in total, two bathrooms with spacious showers, and a cozy living room. We particularly enjoyed the balcony with seating, as well as the large dining table. One of the highlights was the big kitchen with a huge glass window that offered a view of the Kuranda Railway train passing by. The property had thoughtful touches throughout, including multiple charging ports, fans in each room and on the balcony, and air conditioning. The lighting was adjustable, and the bathroom was generously sized with a massive mirror, two shower heads, and toiletries like shampoo and conditioner provided. The location was also fantastic, allowing us to reach key destinations in less than 15 minutes, whether it was the city, supermarkets, the Kuranda Railway, or beautiful waterfall spots like the Crystal Cascades. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay, and we highly recommend it.
