The apartments are a good size with seperate bedrooms and lounge, clean comfortable and free movie channel on Tv,nice secluded pool. City centre is about 15 minutes drive away and thats where you will need to go to eat as there are no restaurants in the area. Beaches are a similar distance but check the season (Stingers and crocs !).Keryn... More

We spent the final night of our holiday here. For our small budget it was a great surprise to arrive and find we were were staying in a nice room. It may not be the fanciest, but it was well presented, clean, comfortable and completely quiet regardless of a nearby highway. We had undercover parking beneath the tennis courts, and... More

I spent 5 nights in one of the Motel rooms here with my girlfriend in August 2011 because it was the nicest-looking hotel we could find in our price range. The room was very nice with air con and ceiling fan, ensuite shower, fridge, kettle toaster but no crockery or cutlery. Everything seemed very clean and comfortable. The pool was... More

This location has both Apartments and standard Hotel rooms. We snapped up the hotel room for an absolute steal ($65 per night) and at that price we were not expecting much. True, this site is a good 6 kms out of Cairns Central and it is only a short distance off the highway so it not gonna be your cuppa... More

Yes the apartments are a little out of town, but buses stop at the front door. (We had a hire car so made life very easy for us). The owners are warm and friendly and extremely helpful. We had a 2 bdrm apartment and it was huge. All facilities in room (cook, wash, dry etc) and two bathrooms. The only... More

Situated on the very busy and noisy Bruce Highway, 10 to 15 minutes drive from downtown, don't stay here inless you have a car as the apartments are on the edge of town and adjacent to fast-food outlets, car dealerships etc. The apartments are very spacious and utterly charmless. Fluorescent lighting in most rooms doesn't help, a few table-lamps would... More

If you have a car, this is the perfect place to stay. It will save you a heap of money and it really doesn't lack anything. There are plenty of restaraunts nearby and both a pub and a McDonald's in walking distance. My room opened up to a small yard where you can smoke a cigarette or have a beer... More

We had an 8-night Stay in Cairns Reef Apartment in Dec 2008 and were hosted by Jaime and Liz Thompson, who are New Zealanders. Believe me, they will take care of everything for you. For a start, they have a tie-up with a car rental company and we got fantastic rates. The room is also very clean, spacious and quiet... More
