Our planned arrival time changed several times, including on the day of arrival. David was really very responsive and, well, forgiving. The location is especially good for anyone who wants a place near the airport for a next-day departure, while MUCH nicer and quieter than a typical airport hotel.

Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.

    Super nice hotel in a great location! Very clean and comfortable with modern finishings, the only thing that could make it better would be a private pool, but it is very close to cairns lagoon! The breakfast on the rooftop was amazing
