This is a lovely place to stay opposite the water in Cairns. There is a bike path and walking path along the water into the city centre of 2 kms. It is a lovely scenic walk and most enjoyable. The accommodation includes 2 sofas and a good sized TV, dishwasher and fridge. It is lovely to have a terrace with... More

We stayed for a couple of nights in April 2012. We booked a 1bedroom with sofa bed and got a complimentary upgrade to a 2bedroom which meant having to walk up a couple of flights of stairs but gave us a bit of a view which we liked. Some apartments are permanent residents and some holiday rentals so it was... More

We stayed in a 2Bd unit in February 2012. The unit was clean and had a beautiful view. The pool was well-maintained, and the location was great..not too far out of town, but far enough to be peaceful. The owner was great to work with. He booked 2 excursions for us - to the Rainforest and the Reef - and... More

I stayed here in January, with my family. The apartment was spacious, clean and very well equipped. A little out of town, but a very pleasant meander along the esplanade for our evening meals. The pool was very good and we used it every day. Close to the bottle shop for our chilled wine to drink on the balcony. There... More

We stayed 5 nights in 2010 in a 1 br self contained apartment which was comfy and fairly well appointed.The view from the verandah over the Esplanade was nice for breakfast,and the location was a long walk into the centre of town,but pleasant along the very nice esplanade. Our only contact with management was checking in and out so we... More

Staff are great and good facilities. About 25 minutes walk to town or less by taxi. We enjoyed lazing around at the swimming pool and relax. However, it's more for families than for couples, but nothing to complain about. Would go again. More

A very nicely run place, with friendly staff and good self-catering facilities, with a nice clean swimming pool. It's about a 20 minute walk into town, or a 5 minute taxi ride. My only criticism is that they could do with replenishing the kitchen utensils and providing a few storage containers - I don't really want to have to keep... More

Our family recently spent a week at The Waterfront Terraces and enjoyed our stay immensely. The staff could not be more helpful and the unit was spotless, thanks guys for everything and we will certainly be returning when time permits. More

I booked into Waterfront Terraces at the last minute after my mum had a stroke and I needed to be near the hospital. Katie was really helpful with my booking and gave me a great discount because mum was in hospital. I ended up having to stay 9 nights and I am so glad I stayed there. I had a... More
