    We were upgraded to a 'luxury room' which was excellent. Room was very well appointed, spacious and very comfortable. The location of the property is great, next to the night markets and one street back from the esplanade in Cairns. Easy walking distance to everything. Secure under cover car parking.

    We were upgraded to a superior room, which was a lovely surprise and much appreciated, as this king of accommodation isn’t something we usually stay in. Loved the pool, we had to drag our 11 year old out after 2hours, after we had been sitting bye pool drinking cocktails watching him. What luxury!

    We stayed 5 nights for our honeymoon and they were super lovely and upgraded our room, gave us a complimentary bottle of bubbly and barista coffee with our first breakfast. Check in was easy thanks to Yuko and our room was ready before time which was great. Buffet breakfast had a decent selection and had a great view
