Good value for money!

We had a very comfortable apartment, albeit a bit dated but perfectly functional. The saltwater pool is a gem and the garden areas beautifully landscaped. It was a little out of the centre of Cairns and with no nearby public transport that could be a problem for some.

This was a great place to travel with children. The manager was friendly and courteous and the children missed him. We were planning to go to Fitzroy Island for two nights and return to this apartment again, and despite our urgent request to leave our luggage for two nights, they were willing to accommodate us. Moreover, they made adjustments so that I could leave it in the room. Thank you very much!!

The Customer service was great, very polite and kind, however, I arrived late on night 1, I established my fridge didn’t work, I informed reception. They got someone out (apparently) but it was never fixed. This for me was just disappointing as I select apartments with full kitchens for a reason. Not having a fridge for 4 days very very inconvenient, no compensation offered.

宿泊前のチャットも適切に回答してくれて、施設の対応としては全く問題なし。 到着後に朝食でカフェに行きたいと話したら10分くらいの距離を車で送ってくれました。 シャワーのカーテンが短いせいかトイレ部分までびちゃびちゃになります。 アメニティはないが、洗濯機用の洗剤は1パックだけ置かれてました。 その他はコンロ、電子レンジ、各種食器が揃っていて、エアコンもあるので不便はありません。 カフェやナイトマーケットまでは徒歩で20-25分ほどかかるので、暗い道で女性だけだと少し不安かもしれません。

ケアンズ空港と港町の間に位置し、どちらもUberタクシーを利用すると便利な土地でした。受付の方が優しく安心しました。土地柄かアリが多くいたので、そこは要注意です。プールやBBQ施設は共有のスペースが外にありましたが、あまりみなさん使われていないようでした。洗濯・乾燥できるのがとても助かりました。

レセプションの方の対応は素晴らしく、部屋も清潔で快適に過ごすことが出来ましたが 一方で日本のホテル、アパートメントとは違うことに注意が必要です。 セルフアパートメントという前提で家具家電以外のアメニティ全て持ち込みが必要だと念頭にあれば困ることはないと思います。 ※洗剤、シャンプーリンスも1回分はありましたが補充は基本的にないそうです。 ※トイレットペーパーの補充もないです。
