Very good value with the discounted price when we booked. The apartment was exceptionally clean and comfortable. In a small complex with mix of residential and short stay accommodation, it was very quiet. Well set up for being self sufficient during your stay. Gated undercover parking and plenty of street parking. Short walk to the beach and local cafes, restaurants etc. Good location for trips to Daintree, Cairns or Kuranda.
