The location was perfect and at the quieter end of the Esplanade with an easy flat walk to the centre and markets. The addition of a first-class restaurant next door was a real plus, and they opened for coffee at 7 am.

While slightly dated still excellent and would highly recommend, clean and very generous amount of space throughout. Great location, 15 minute walk along the Esplanade to the marina terminal. Restaurant next door was fantastic also. ##### Quentin Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derrick 28 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This place is great! As other reviews stated, the inside has 1980s Miami vibes but we loved it! It wasn’t the cleanest place I’ve stayed, there was a dirty towel and qtip sticking out from the bed when we checked in and because the accessories are dated it just doesn’t feel super clean. All that said, this place is perfect if you’re looking for a place for your family to stay while you’re out seeing the sights all day. Great views, places to play games and hang out, laundry, and amazing location! We are at Muddy’s a lot and the food was incredible! I would definitely stay here again! ##### Derrick Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Sharron 28 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Excellent location and our apartment had a fabulous view of the sea and esplanade. Furnishings and the bathrooms would benefit from some updating, but this would not deter us from staying again. Car parking was very secure - great to have a dedicated, numbered bay. ##### Sharron Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colleen 20 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This properly was clean and neat. The 2 bedroom is a large unit with a large kitchen and sitting area.

Wonderful view. But now fir the price we have paid thats nit enough. I stay for 1 week. The furniture are old Nobody come to change for towels or change the sheet of the bed. If it's only to pay for 1 week in advance and after the Tartare Desert with nobody... better to go to the hotel for the same price. Very desapointed. ##### Thierry Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arnola 24 Oct 2023 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Perfect location, view and wonderfully helpful and friendly proprietors, that being said the apartment is untouched circa 1990's, run down to the point of threadbare. The couches need to be thrown out, and all the kitchenware is in such a degraded state that an op shop wouldn't resell it. Please fix these things and you would be on a winner. ##### Arnola Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jacob 31 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Not a 4 star hotel - just a very decent apartment Clean enough - there was dust on top of fridge and under bed (it moved). Overall it was clean and good location. Didn’t appreciate we had to take the garbage out and put in the chute - wish it was known. Furniture was dated could use an upgrade. Better coffee instead of just powdered. Maybe a bottled waters when people arrive. And WiFi range was not great in bedroom. I would still recommend this - we were staying in some 5 star properties before getting here - hence my expectation was higher. Appreciated having the laundry after all the cairns adventures. ##### Jacob Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Barry 8 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication There are lots of good points that should have scored this apartment higher - the location is good, and very quiet; the sea view was wonderful; the secure parking in the basement was outstanding; the apartment was spacious, clean and well kitted out; the shower was very powerful and it was great having two bathrooms. However, the flat was quite tired; the spa bath had been disconnected (so was only a bath, which was not as advertised); there was no DVD (so also not as advertised); TV channels were limited; there was no remote for the bedroom TV; and the internet connection was poor. Overall, it could have been so much better with some attention to detail. The owners might want to take note, as this apartment is no longer exactly as advertised on Expedia. ##### Barry Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Easy access, good communication, friendly staff unit was clean and had a great view.

This was a great accommodation for a family of four adults. Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms and spacious living space. Location is excellent with (partial) ocean view (depending on which floor you are on) and walking distance to city centre. ##### Auke Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### R 18 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Stort stay in Cairns This was a short 2 night stay in Cairns prior to heading home. The property was conveniently close to Cairns airport, and was a high rise apartment block appearing to be generally permanent residents, with a few rooms available for short term rental. The room itself was well equipped and everything was clean and comfortable. Whilst the room was a little dated in decor, all of the equipment was new and clean. Secure underground parking was also included. Certainly I would stay here again. ##### R Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Dannielle and Anthony 7 Sept 2025 Liked: Communication Room needed maintenance.

The building itself was clean and secure. The apartment, specifically, was roomy, well maintained, and easily felt like home as soon as you walk in. Fantastic views of the ocean and mountains (and bats at sunrise!). This is on the north end of the esplanade, so it was a bit quieter but within a few minutes walk you are in the heart of the hustle and bustle of it all. I would recommend this spot highly to my friends. ##### Joey Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa 7 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Really spacious and great layout. Full kitchen and allowed easy cooking. While supplies were good, the packaged dish detergent etc is just not as good as dishwasher tablets or a bottle of dishwashing liquid but we realise that is hotel style. Very secure and lock up parking but hard to get a park. Having numbered car parks for guests units would be good, instead of having to find one. ##### Lisa Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### LEWIS 23 Jun 2024 Disliked: Communication booked an ocean view room and didn’t get one they blamed Expedia ##### LEWIS Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Noosa Harbour Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Noosa-Harbour-Resort.h4478149.Hotel-Information) > - [Aries Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Aries-Holiday-Apartments.h83398932.Hotel-Information) > - [Gilligan's Backpackers Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Gilligans-Backpackers-Hotel-Resort.h1102895.Hotel-Information) > - [The Star Grand at The Star Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Star-Grand-At-The-Star-Gold-Coast.h6921.Hotel-Information) > - [The Edge Apartment Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rockhampton-Hotels-The-Edge-Apartment-Hotel.h4313015.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels near Woburn Safari Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woburn-Safari-Park-Hotels.0-l6155736-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Blue Lagoon Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Blue-Lagoon-Resort.h1773107.Hotel-Information) > - [Soda Apartments by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Soda.h16219162.Hotel-Information) > - [Rydges Gold Coast Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tweed-Heads-Hotels-Rydges-Gold-Coast-Airport.h57794898.Hotel-Information) > - [Tangalooma Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Tangalooma-Island-Resort.h2254989.Hotel-Information) > - [The Star Residences Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Star-Residences-Gold-Coast.h72545549.Hotel-Information) > - [Eagle Heights Mountain Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Eagle-Heights-Mountain-Hotel.h19287204.Hotel-Information) > - [Brisbane Skytower Apartments by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Brisbane-Skytower.h19178209.Hotel-Information) > - [Chill Backpackers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Chill-Backpackers.h37147932.Hotel-Information) > - [Don Pancho by the Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundaberg-Hotels-Don-Pancho-By-The-Beach.h2161531.Hotel-Information) > - [ULTIQA Burleigh Mediterranean Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-Mediterranean-Resort.h980661.Hotel-Information) > - [YHA Coolangatta Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Coolangatta-YHA-Hostel.h9624261.Hotel-Information) > - [City Backpackers HQ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-City-Backpackers-HQ.h20576485.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Indigo Brisbane City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Ibis-Brisbane.h119509.Hotel-Information) > - [Nomads Noosa Backpackers Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Nomads-Noosa-Backpackers-Hostel.h3856711.Hotel-Information) > - [Crystalbrook Bailey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Bailey-A-Crystalbrook-Collection-Hotel.h36684912.Hotel-Information) > - [BUNK Surfers Paradise - International Backpacker Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-BUNK-Backpackers-Surfers-Paradise-Hostel.h16174712.Hotel-Information) > - [LyLo Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Limes-Boutique-Hotel.h2135031.Hotel-Information) > - [Phoenician Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Phoenician-Resort.h456419.Hotel-Information) > - [Turtle Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Turtle-Beach-Resort.h2649543.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Cozumel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cozumel-Hotels.d180033.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Unit 3 Noosa Moorings, 303 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Noosaville-Hotels-Endless-Water-Views-In-Noosaville-Noosa-Heads-Unit-3-Noosa-Moorings.h38124679.Hotel-Information) ### Cars ### Packages ---
