A good deal for experiencing Cairns without the price tag. No frills accommodation with everything you could need - air con, comfy beds, easy check-in, responsive staff. If you just need an accommodation to enjoy the surrounding area, it’s perfect and an easy uber away from all of the touristy spots. Clean and just what we needed. Thanks!

Great little hideaway and location. Feels safe despite the casino which stays open late. Thought it a bit pricy for the location.
