Lovely location, I imagine it would be quiet we timed the wrong week with roadworks right outside our unit, started 7am each motning - good alarm. Our unit was clean n tidy but tired. The lock on the security door broken, shower head kept falling down but managed to fix ourselves. Something to consider if booking this location there arent any lifts on stair access to apartments and our 2 bedroom apartment had a shower over bath off the main bedroom and the 'kids' bedroom had a walk in shower. Maybe the owners should consider moving the beds around so the mainbedroom has the walkin shower. We would stay again should be visit Cairns again

Great resort for a family. Each apartment is individually owned so the style and furnishings vary. When we checked in the room wasn't very clean and the TV wasn't working, however reception organised cleaning the next day and we ended up with a new TV which was much appreciated. The pool area next to the garden was fantastic and the kids loved the tennis court. Barbecue facilities were clean and well maintained. All round an enjoyable stay.
