Pros:

Loved the location, the resort style accommodation, the fragrant tropical gardens, the pool, the apartment position and helpful staff.

Cons:

Although the apartment was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with the necessary appliances and amenities, there were a few items that would benefit from being replaced due to wear and tear. For example, both the clothes drying rack and the dish drying rack were quite rusty. Aside from these minor issues, we found the accommodation comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

Home away from home
Pros:

The apartment was roomy, clean & stylishly decorated, felt like a home, which was what we wanted. We loved the huge balcony. It is not in a tourist area which suited us as our holiday consisted of daily road trips to destinations around Cairns. We loved that the entire suburb was quiet at night, all you could hear was the surf. We met & chatted to friendly locals on our afternoon walks along the waterfront. The pool & unheated spa were lovely.
Loved that we had free undercover parking.There was ample outdoor parking too.
The bottle shop & take outs are walking distance, the SPAR was a couple of km’s, Smithfield shopping centre 7.3km and central Cairns 11km so a car is needed.

Cons:

Our apartment was clean but it had a lot of knock/scuff marks on the walls & doorways. I think probably from wild baggage handling.
The parking spaces are on the small side & not designated to your apartment but we always found one undercover.

Great place for a relaxing and slow paced break away from the busy-ness of everyday life.
Pros:

Very laid back and homely feel, with great cooking and washing facilities.
Walk to the community tennis court a few blocks away for a game each day was great.
The DVD collection for the rainy days was also a bonus.

Cons:

The leaky toilet running all day and night was noisy and unfortunately the weather wasn't great the whole time we were there.
A convenience store close by would have helped optimise the kitchen facilities but the property did advise that online shopping could be ordered and delivered, we just weren't staying long enough to utilise such a service so a little shop nearby with just a few bibs and bobs would have been good.

Pros:

Comfort of the unit

Cons:

Not a lot of facilities in near proximity. It's called Cairns Beach Resort but it's not actually in Cairns and that was a bit misleading.
