181號濱海度假村(181 the Esplanade)

中心街から1.5Km位離れてるので、不便。 近くにはCairns病院以外には何もない。 一日目に照明器具の回路がショートしていたため、 暗がりで困った。（翌日の修理で回復）

A really lovely appt in a nice quiet block. This is situated about a 20 minute walk from town centre however, this is a pleasant walk along the seafront on a boardwalk. Cairns is a vibrant town with plenty to do, however time spent in this appt is very relaxing. Our appt had two good sized bedrooms with two bathrooms, a fully fitted kitchen with a separate utility area with a washing machine and tumble dryer. The balconies overlook the bay and park area surrounding the boardwalk. There is a nice pool area too, though could do with more sun loungers available. We were able to check in early and leave our luggage until our room was ready. We would definitely stay again and look forward to returning in the future.

Ocean view or Garden view? If you look closely you can see the ocean through the trees but I paid for an ocean view. This was not it! Lots of great space with two bathrooms, laundry and all the basics in a kitchen. A local phone in the apartment/lobby would have been very helpful. Bit of a hike to get to the Esplanade/Marina but definitely doable. Surfaces were all very clean but if you look up or down you will find plenty of dirt, ants and even mold. For a short term stay this place will do the trick but a bit of investment or even fresh paint would do this building some justice.

Horrible service - don’t bother……….. Weren’t helpful at all. Booked over the phone months in advance and when we arrived they hadn’t even booked up the room. So rude and couldn’t care at all So disappointing. Definitely won’t be returning.

This was a great accommodation for a family of four adults. Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms and spacious living space. Location is excellent with (partial) ocean view (depending on which floor you are on) and walking distance to city centre.

We stayed at this property for 3 nights in a 2 bed apartment and paid just under $800. We had booked an upper level apartment but were placed on the 2nd floor (apartment 10). The place was roomy and clean, although a little dated. Unfortunately on our first night we were woken around 11 pm with a putrid sewage smell that remained strong all night. It was so bad that we couldn’t sleep at all and spent time searching for dead animals as we weren’t sure if the plumbing could produce such a smell. We could also hear occupants in the apartment above going to the toilet. We complained the next day and were advised that this has happened before and it was explained away as an old building issue. A candle was placed in the apartment and the manager advised she’d put disinfectant down the drain holes etc. The 2nd night was better but the third night the smell was back again (although not as bad as the first night). We were disappointed to lose a whole night’s sleep and not be offered a move or compensation, particularly given we’d paid over $250 per night and had booked for a high level apartment. Wouldn’t book again.

This is the sixth time we have stayed here. We have a lovely apartment overlooking the park and the water. It has all the amenities needed and never disappoints. It is very close to the city and right next door to the hospital! Lovely heated pool and spa and both Glen and Brad at reception always helpful.

Very disappointed.On arrival no reception so had to let ourselves in.Numerous things in apartment needed attention such as broken lampshade and numerous handle’s including front door handle.Misleading distance from main town and in order to walk back at night had to walk through unlit areas. Not worth the money ,but have to say it does have a great view from the apartment.

At the quiet end of the esplanade with great views over the ocean . Easy walking distance to muddys and playground, cafe and beach volleyball and and not much further to main activity hub We walked to RSL and cenotaph on the esplanade for 11/11 commemoration and then on to public pool for a dip. Really easy walk. Staff were really friendly and accommodating as we needed to stay a bit longer, no problem for them Everything we needed in the apartment, really comfortable lots of room , large lounge and balconies,full kitchen and good bathrooms. Really nice pool. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again
