Shire of Johnstone Vacations from $479

Dont believe the pictures! First night there was a band in the park next door. Could barely hear the Tv. They put earplugs in the bathroom so it must happen often. The black grout in the bathroom matches the rest of the room. Problem is it is supposed to be white. Therefore the entire bathroom is filled with mold. The overhead fan is either on 1 or 3. The middle setting does not work. The rocks in the pool are black. Which is black algae. The rest of the pool is noticeably filled with green algae. One would think during the 5 days I stayed there I would see someone cleaning the pool. Nope. The most frustrating thing of all was the lack of internet. It is supposed to work but it doesn't. Trying to find directions or make future plans is nearly impossible. Do yourself a favor and spend 10 to 20 more per night and stay anywhere else. You will thank me later.

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.

The location is further from the marina. While you can walk, it is a long walk and a car would be needed for those that don’t want a 35-40 minute walk to restaurants and marina. The property had the basics ( four plates, cups, and bowls, and some basic cooking items) and was sufficient for our stay as we often eat out for meals. The cleaning crew needs to do a better job though. There were stains on couch, carpet and curtains. Pool is very nice. Hot tub was really a cold tub.
