“Great place to recharge the body”
Great place to stay, with everything we needed close by. beautiful beach right out side your door.
“Fantastic Cairns hotel in Trinity Beach”
We just returned from a vacation in Cairns and we stayed 4 nights at the "On the beach" Seashell apartments in Trinity Beach. There were 8 in our extended family group. The 2 lovely apartments faced the ocean and we were thrilled with the ocean views and the beach. The apartments were spacious and comfortable, with 2 bathrooms in each. We used the BBQ poolside on a couple of occassions for family dinners and it worked out great. We initially worried about being so far from the center of Cairns, but we had 2 rental cars, and we didn't miss the busy city bustle at all. There is an IGA a few blocks away and a large supermarket in Smithfield, about 5 km down the road. We have traveled in many places in the world, and Trinity Beach will be amongst the favorite places we have stayed. On-the-beach holiday apartments were perfect for our needs. We will never forget the incredible sunrises from the 2nd story balconey. Highly recommended.
“Trinity Beach”
The room inside is pretty well kept up and comfortable. You just have to remember they don't clean your bedding or sheets and you only get 1 towel each unless you pay extra. We were also suprised that we had to pay an extra person charge to have bedding for the sofa bed even though the room was booked with two people. The location is nice if you don't want to travel to cairns often - otherwise its a 1 hour bus ride or a $50.00 cab ride. The beach is nice and the swim area is right in front of the condo but your across the road and some trees from the actual beach. There are only 4 places to eat and they are all pretty expensive but they all had decent food.
“Great place to stay!”
Trinity beach apartments is a beautiful place to stay, very affordable and pretty central to everything. The lady at reception Melissa was amazing!!! She was very attentive to our needs and helped with organizing all our activites. I would definatly be going back to on the beach apppartment.
“A stone's throw from the beach”
Clean & comfortable rooms. Managers are very helpful and friendly. They even held our room for a night (with our things in it) whilst we went down south. And then when we came back for a couple of night, they were happy to give us the rooms at the same rate we got through Expedia. The only regret I have is that I didn't have more time to relax there! (We were up in nth Qld to rescue & treat animals affected by Cyclone Yasi)
“will always have fond memories”
the holiday was great and it was sad to leave Cairns, we had a great time. The service provided by Melissa at the reception desk was friendly, polite and courteous, the kids enjoyed the pool and when they got bored being in the pool they would run across the road to the beach to have a swim, we all loved the beach. The restaurants around the hotel was great, we had thai the first night and the food just amazing and authentic. The people in cairns are very friendly and warm and we would defineltly recommend this treasure to others.
“Great location and facilities”
This was my second time at On The Beach - in a great location with great facilities. Nothing to fault just great service and comfort and such a reasonable price!! Will be back again :)
“Wonderful place but......”
During our flight to Cairns from the USA a person on the flight had a medical emergency resulting in our flight making an emergency landing. This caused many passengers to miss connecting flights, including us. I emailed On the Beach Holiday Apartments that we would be delayed yet when we arrived there (after having little sleep for nearly 2 days) no one was there to let us into our rooms and we had to, at midnight, find somewhere else to sleep. The next day they were very apologetic and paid for our hotel in Cairns for the night we should have stayed there. Moral....... Many condos have no staff after 6pm so beware if you are arriving late. Other than that we loved staying there and would stay there again. It was outside of Cairns but the bus to Cairns was 2 blocks away. There were several quality restaurants within walking distance of the condo. The beach is small but beautiful. Waking every morning to noisy parrots and cockatoos was delightful! When you get tired of the beach there are many things to do nearby. Great central location.
“Lots of stairs!”
Be aware if you want an ocean view that there is no lift and you could be on the third floor in the building behind gound floor units. Didn't worry us...size of unit great and everything in good working order. Receptionist very obliging. Pools on site small but you can get a key to access larger pool next door.
“Fabulous holiday apartment”
not plush or luxurious but really family nice 2 bedroom aptment with enough for me to cook great seafood dinners for us. Beach across a service street is hop, skip n jump away but we also have a pool inside gate for the kids to wear themselves out in. Melissa was really helpful with tours and is a lovely person, so helpful and warm and welcoming. We loved this place!
