Cairns Beach Resort

We have been staying at this resort for a number of years and seen 3 turnovers of management in those years but this time was our best time ever. The gardens look better than ever. For us there is no better place around Cairns than this. OK, the internet connection in the units is not up to scratch but you just go to reception, there is a bench outside where the connection is just fine, or anywhere around the fabulous pool as well. The current managers are the best ever. Josh and Ruby will do antyhing to make you welcome and to make your stay a very pleasant one. Ruby is obviously very experienced in the hospitality industry and Josh, always friendly and helpful, is an incredibly hard worker. I have been an employer before I retired, but if I had had employees like Josh and Ruby, I would makr sure they would never have a good reason to leave or change employment. The gardens look better than ever, the maintenance programme is second to none. On the day we left all the gutters, rusty and overflowing, were being replaced. I hope my review is not a trigger to increase their unit prices, but we will definitely come back at least once a year and we hope that these two managers will be there to welcome us for many years to come. ?Ruby and Josh, you are real gems and the perfect example of managers who love their work, who are totally committed serving their guests.

"We traveled to Cairns to visit the outer Great Barrier Reef and explore its surroundings. We rented a one-bedroom accommodation, which felt like an apar**ent complex. It had a nice pool and included a washer and dryer. While the place was minimal, the air conditioning worked great and met our needs. The only drawback was that it wasn't close to the city of Cairns."

I really liked the location to not only the local beach and a little local cafe, but into Cairns or out to the sky rail. There’s so much to do and location was perfect to do it all with

We were only there for a quick place to crash before transferring to another hotel near our final destination so we probablyvreally only spent about 12 hours there in total but it was very nice and comfortable with everything you would need for a small family or two couples. Had a beautiful large spanning balcony with seating and a a table as well with views down to the nearby beach. The pool area was welcoming and the gardens throughout were gorgeous! Not much tobdo around within walking distance other than a liquor store and Code which was avery delicious restaurant and bar about 2 blocks away. The guidebook for guests was a little alarming as they stated many things about havong a safe travel making it appear that the area wasnt safe at night. However we walked around and didnt understand the reasoning behing it. Overall it was perfect and i wish we had more time to spend there.

The pool area was lovely. Our unit was quite dated and musty. Very limited supplies (two towels, 1 tea towel, etc). Ruby and Josh were very nice and tried their best.

Was nice. Gardens are beautiful. 8 day stay and their housekeeping says you get mid week housekeeping if stay longer than 7 days. There was no housekeeping. Same towels for 8 days. Washing machine but you had to buy your own powder. Make sure you have your own body wash and shampoo as you only get enough for 2 days. Toilet paper also limited. No mop only mop bucket. Very out of date tiny tv. Worst of all, the wifi is rubbish. It was like going back in time. Continual disconnections. Had to use my phone as a hot spot most of the time for streaming. Not up to 2023 standard at all.

This is a nice propery but as it is in a sleepy neighbourhood of Holloway Beach that it isn't serviced by busses often (hourly) and many excursion (or airport shuttles) don't pick up / drop off there. If you don't have a car, you will have to rely on Uber/ taxi. The beach is across the street and is very nice, and the property has a nice pool. The unit we stayed at had a newly renovated bathroom and the unit itself is comfy and spacious, but it is otherwise a little on the older side and has room for improvement in cleaning (eg sticky cupboards / drawers).

Whilst the location of this resort is amazing, the unit I spent time in was not well cleaned, long hairs on the floor and dust and other objects behind the lounge. Being on holidays does not mean being on the internet all day, but the internet was less than useless on the few occasions I tried, mainly of an evening. In this day and age, this should be much better. If I did actually manage to get logged on, it would constantly drop out. Very frustrating. I also had a family member visit me on her pushbike, which she did not ride in the complex, but placed the bike on the grass in an out of the way space, not blocking any access to anything. The owner saw fit to remove the bike, without consultation, and place in the carpark spaces. I felt this could have been handled in a much better way. .

Great find.. A short distance out of Cairns . Northern beaches easy 20 minutes trip on local bus. Stop 1 minute walk to hotel Rooms clean, well equipped, comfortable inc washing machine and dryer. Kitchen stove top and microwave. Pool great area..never seemed to be crowded We loved location..across the road to beach. Small section with stinger net and patrolled by surf life savers. Beautiful sunrises,coffee on the beach watching locals fishing and walking dogs. Long walks along beach without the crowds. Cafe Strait on the Beach across road..open from 0800 for coffees, quick meals and snacks but once again location , location. Closes most afternoons at 4 to 5 pm ... is open Wed (ukulele night) and Sat PM's till 6pm with various live bands. ( No More No Less local band awesome). So no late night noise at units. Friendly reception and good communication . Books and DVDs available I'm a regular to Cairns but have definitely found my go to accommodation .
