Great little hideaway and location. Feels safe despite the casino which stays open late. Thought it a bit pricy for the location.

A good deal for experiencing Cairns without the price tag. No frills accommodation with everything you could need - air con, comfy beds, easy check-in, responsive staff. If you just need an accommodation to enjoy the surrounding area, it’s perfect and an easy uber away from all of the touristy spots. Clean and just what we needed. Thanks!

Unfortunately room.was not cleaned properly on arrival. I was too tired though to say anything. The staff were good though. Just a request to ensure a room is clean before a new guest. Was told area was not so safe to walk alone at night, which is sad as I love Cairns. Thank you.
