A great spot to stay if your days are spent exploring Cairns and surrounds 👍
Pros:

Location is great, our room was very clean and quiet which was great with a pretty well equipped kitchenette. Liked the roaming cat too!

Cons:

The shower recess in the bathroom was nothing short of ridiculous with no door or lip - it floods the entire bathroom floor with every use! I think you could also provide some small bottles of shower gel and shampoo too, the two small soaps provided are pretty ordinary. And though garden area in studio was a welcome addition it was completely uncared for. Apart from shower design - nothing serious, just a few small tweaks could improve things.

I come to Cairns every year for a dance festival and Cascade Gardens is like my home away from home, especially when Bru
Pros:

Cascade Gardens is in an excellent location and has very practical and comfortable apartments. It is walking distance to local restaurants, and attractions. My main attraction however, is Bruiser, the in-house cat.

Cons:

I book as soon as I know our festival dates, and ask for a ground floor room (arthritic knees don’t enjoy stairs). It is quite hard to achieve this however.
