Had a great experience! It's a great place to stay. The family is really friendly and informative of everything that North Queensland has to offer. The resort is quiet and secluded. The beach is just across the road, with a great breakfast place across the road.

The location was perfectāright on the marina and close to all the activities around the reef and shopping plus parks and restaurants. The staff were amongst some of the friendliest and most helpful weāve had on our travels!

Great for a family stay, particularly if you have younger children that will want to spend time in the pool. The hotel is a bit away from the more bustling parts of Cairns, but we were able to get picked up for some of the tours we took. Otherwise, it is a quick Uber to anywhere you want to go.

Very nice hotel and the staff are very friendly and helpful providing recommendations for nearby activities and restaurants. We also enjoyed an excellent breakfast at the hotel's cafe.

Felt very welcome, room clean and spacious. They were having roofing work carried out while we were there which started early but wasnāt an inconvenience. Pub/restaurant right next door was useful but we didnāt use it.
