Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Marina Waterfront was perfect for our stay in Cairns. There was plenty of room inside and out. Really happy about the secure parking behind a gate for our 4WD's. The outdoor area was fantastic, plenty of seating with a lovely view of the pool and marina. The kitchen was well stocked with glassware, plates, utensils and pots and pans. Nice touches like condiments, coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper was appreciated, also the mozzie spay and candles. Washing machine and perfect undercover clothes line was also a bonus. Thanks for washing machine tabs :) Beds were comfy and the house was beautifully presented, clean and very tidy. It was a real pleasure to stay in a property so thoughtfully put together. We hope we can come back again soon."
