Good location, good size unit.
Pros:

Location, comfortsble and good size.

Cons:

Other residents had no consideration for noise after hours. One had a porno at level 10 on the TV at 1am which went for an hr, another got home after midnight talking, yelling between rooms and slamming doors waking up the entire complex. The manager at checkin was very blunt.

Rodge in Cairns
Pros:

Clean and well equipped.
Off street parking.
Good instructions for our after hours arrival.
Short drive to main city centre.

Cons:

Could be noisy due to being under the airport flight path.
Apartment was adequate in size for two people but would be "tight" for any more occupants.

Zweckmäßig und günstig, würden wieder dort buchen.
Pros:

Die Ferienwohnung war sehr groß, und umfangreich ausgestattet. Klimaanlagen haben gut funktioniert. Auch der Pool war toll, habe ihn jeden Tag genutzt.

Cons:

Alles schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, könnte mal eine Grunreinigung oder Sanierung vertragen (im Außenbereich). Die Ausstattung der Küche müsste dringen erneuert werden, Geschirr, Geräte wie Herd, Toaster, Mikrowelle, Dunstabzug alles schon sehr alt und sehen dementsprechend aus. Auch den Aussenbereich rund um den Pool und im Pool könnte man öfter reinigen. Das Wasser war aber sehr sauber!!
