    This property matched or exceeded our expectations, so nothing to complain about.

    Awesome amount of space in 2 bed apartment. Location allowed for a pleasant stroll back from the esplanade after dinner. Air conditioning (especially in lounge) was really good. Pool area was pleasant. Furnishing was probably what you expect at this price level. Well equipped kitchen.

    We thought the apartment should have been cleaned at the same time the linen was changed. The linen is getting a bit old looking.

    We had a fantastic view of the pool area & loved sitting on the veranda eating breakfast & having afternoon drinks etc. The reception staff were very helpful & nothing was a problem. A big thank you there.

    The pool was okay but the hot tub was warm if that. No elevator/lift and we were given the top floor for my 72 year old mother to climb steps with her walking cane.

    When I arrived there was a long hair on each body towel and dust in a variety of corners in the apartment.

    Was a bit more worn down than expected.

    Appliances brand new, nice to be able to cook yourself some nights. Looked and felt clean, nice and very helpful staff. 10 min walk to city centre, and 25 min walk to restaurants at waterfront. Location was fine, especially if you have a car.

    There is no lift at the property and we were on the second floor so we found it a bit tiring carrying up bags and shopping.

    Location was very central to Cairns city and esplanade, you could easily walk around to shops and restaurants. The pool looked lovely though we didn't swim. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed ie full kitchen, balconies, lounge area, aircon. The property is very secure with electric gates for both pedestrian and vehicle entry. The communication with the property and the staff on check in and check out was excellent.

    Excellent size bed (KS), but could have been a bit softer. Pillows excellent. Other than that nothing

    Unit was a good size, comfortable couches, not far to walk into town, washing machine and dryer worked well. Walk in Shower. (2 bedrooms - 2 bathrooms) Good size kitchen and fridge. Secure car park, easy to get in and out. (We stayed on the first floor which was fine - no lifts need to carry your own luggage up)

    We stayed 2 weeks at Getaway on Grafton and we were very surprised to receive an email while we were staying there. The email advised us that Once the teabags and coffee sachets were used we should go to a shop to purchase more ourselves. Plus as we were there for 2 weeks and there were 3 Adults once the 2 toilet rolls were used we had to go and buy more. I feel the apartment we stayed in needed a good spring clean the louvre blinds and ceiling fans were all very dusty.
