We stayed at Clifton Sands, Clifton Beach November 2011 for two nights, it is not a touristy spot, however if you want peace and quiet with only a minute to walk to Clifton Beach and reasonabily priced this is it. It is an old fashioned 3 story block of units. We had a 1 bedroom unit with a kitchen/lounge room... More

We stayed at Clifton Sands for a week as we were looking to buy a car in Cairnes, for a trip through the outback. We first booked three days and then Grant kindly allowed us to book extra days as we needed them. He is a minefield of information and helped save us a lot of time with his useful... More

Second time we've now stayed at Clifton Sands - the pool area has just been re-done in the past month - fantastic. Unit 14 has a plasma in lounge & bedroom, is very clean, everything we want & excellent value for money. I've added some photos of the view to the beach & inside. It's not 5-star, and it's not...

The facilities may not be the latest but they are well maintained & I (the fussy one) was happy with everything Clifton Sands provided. The internet by the pool was a pleasant... More

Our one-bedroom apartment was dated but clean and comfortable. Our little patio opened onto a grassy garden area which was visited every day by brilliant green Cairns Birdwing butterflies.The pool is also dated,... More

Only problem is the wife wont stay anywhere that isnt clean and tidy so I had to be careful. This place didnt dissapoint , a great... More

I found this little gem on Ebay and I must say it's the best thing I have bought there! The new owner was trying to get bums on beds and I bought a week's stay for a ridiculously cheap price. If you want a peaceful break in beautiful Cairns then this is the place to go. Grant the owner is... More
