The resort is older but better in many ways. We had an 8 day stay. The one bedroom apartment was on the top floor only accessed by 4 flights of stairs. This was a surprise, but was fine as we're now fit enough. It was also quieter and more private than lower levels. We did watch the air planes landing approach from bed after the lights were out, but they didn't disturb us. Much better than being on the take-off path.
It was a challenge to hold a BBQ lunch for 6 (4 non-resident), but being in a fully covered facility in the gardens, all worked out well, despite a rain shower. The BBQ area and gardens are brilliantly maintained and gorgeous. We didn't use the pool as were too busy, but it looked good.
We loved the easy care granite look manufactured stone and wrought iron (mock?) tables. So easy care and just what one needs on holiday. You can put your feet up on the coffee table after a hard day of walking. We didn't particularly like the manual (no cords) panel blinds on the balcony doors & windows, as they hooked up on the louvre handles.
The kitchen is basic and tired, but once again was fine for us. We did not like the half size tea towel or scourer though as we did cook and wash up. With no dishwasher please allocate good cleaning supplies.
The shower over the bath is a little awkward and we were a bit concerned about slipping.
Parking was ample and the laundry in the apartment was handy for our length stay too.
We'd definitely stay again with longer stay discount.

The garden setting and the u shape of the overall resort are lovely. The beach is very close literally metres away. Although the pool and spa are not heated it was still refreshing to have a dip due to the overall warm winter weather. The washing machine and dryer are in the apartment so very convenient.

The cons: Whilst the apartment is smoke free. There was smoke from other apartment that wafted in from the balcony so had to close the balcony door quite often. No oven however there is a microwave, toaster and electric cooktop. The ocean water was quite brown for quite a few metres out due most likely to river silt.

The property overall matched the picture's and what was promised.
But after the checkout I got charged the security deposit for a damage I have not committed, which the provider should have noticed after the inspection of the previous guest before my check-in. At check-in I wasn't informed to check for any damages. So this definitely feels sketchy since such a damage should definitely be noticed beforehand.

The location was amazing! It is up on the top floor with no elevator (so be sure you can do the stairs), but had a large balcony overlooking the ocean! We liked that it was in a less busy area and we could travel into downtown Cairns, beaches, Rainforests, Kuranda, etc. in our rental car easily! They had everything we needed to prepare foods, or wash clothes. Only issue was that there were tiny ants. They do ask you throw garbage away daily, but even that wasn’t quick enough. It helped that we stored everything in the fridge until we were leaving the room and could take our garbage down. The location and price made up for dealing with the ants. I would stay there again!

We had a great stay. The area is very quiet. There's a great cafe restaurant directly across the street and the patio of the cafe faces the sea. Every Saturday there's live music from 3-6pm. The bus runs runs right in front of the complex so it's easy to get to Smithfield mall in less than 15 minutes on the 120 bus or Cairns Central Shopping Center where you can find groceries at Coles or Woolworths. We really liked the apartment. The sofa and bed were very comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would love to stay again.

The resort could use some upgrades in the living room furniture and air-conditioning. They also should ensure there’s enough toilet paper in the room before they arrive. We only had a partial roll of toilet paper so we informed them. They said they’d bring it to us the next day and never brought it. It only has a/c in the bedroom so the rest of the place doesn’t get the full effect of the a/c cooling system.

WiFi was awful but they are upgrading it and some smells from other people’s cooking but no real complaints.

Appreciated the early check that was great. I wouldn’t call the place a resort more a complex with some lovely apartments in desperate need of major maintenance it could be a beautiful place apartments owned individually and run by hotel management. Cleanliness was not the best and things were falling apart or not working in the apartment. One side of couch had a horrible smell wasn’t nice to sit there. No lifts so we were glad we were on the bottom floor even though we paid extra for an ocean view that really as t there. Pool area was lovely our little girl loved it. Overall it was good just in need of some TlC.

Floors were bit sticky. Property is way far from main area in Cairns. Try to find something closer to downtown even if you have a car. No front desk service after 5:00p.m. Best part about the property is a privacy. You have a bedroom. And a sofa couch in main room area along with kitchen. Just one bathroom. So not at all a bed choice if you are a family of 4 and needs more space as long as you are ok to drive.

Overnight stop

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.

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).

Very pleasant stay for a week. Quiet area, beaches just a few steps away and supported with Cafes and short distance to groceries etc. Gardens are spotless and parking was great. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Be warned if you are staying on higher levels there are no elevators which can be difficult when transporting suitcases but then you are rewarded with great views. I could find the barbecue area but no barbecue. The Internet was patchy and needed constant resetting. The modem was old and would probably solve that issue. The unit was large and user friendly and everything worked despite being a little dated. It was furnished albeit basic but functional. I would come back to this place but recommend you have a car as it is north of Cairns city centre but we liked the area. The lower price reflected this and I recommend staying here especially if you wish to travel further north.

Whilst the bed looked a bit uncomfortable, we were surprised how comfortable it was. The unit is spacious. The carpark is handy. Loved the lush gardens. There is also a book nook if you need some reading material.
There were 2 internet connections but both were extremely slow and often dropped out so we couldn't get anything done in the evening or other busy periods.
There is also a restaurant / bar across the road. The music was very loud and didn't stop until after 11pm on the Saturday night and at 6pm on the Sunday afternoon.
It is also under the flight path for the Cairns airport so it got very noisy.
The 1 complimentary soap was the tiniest I have ever seen in all my travels and the bath gel bottles were 3/4 filled.

Not worth the cost

We had a ground floor apartment that was supposed to have a beach front view. Because it was a ground floor and was very close to the street the property landscaped the area in front with a lot of plants and trees which was very nice but obstructed any view of the beach. If you stood on the far right side of the balcony you could see the beach but that was right in front of the outside air conditioning unit that blew hot air on you so unless it was cool, not ideal. They had spot lights on at night which shone in the apartment. The interior facing rooms overlooking the pool would probably be ok. The condition of the kitchen was less than satisfactory but the redone bathroom was great. The free wifi was almost nonexistent as it was so weak it would cut out continuously and you had to sign back in. I had to do that about ten or fifteen times during our one night stay. Overall the place was not bad but since we only stayed one night the cost of 260 Australian was really way too much for the apartment.

The staff was very friendly, even booked tours for us and charged it to the room which was very convienent. 10 min drive from airport. Made it great for friend in the area to come hangout for dinner. And loved that the beach was steps away.

Nice stay at the beach

Hotel was nice and close to the beach. However, if you want a hotel on the beach that's swimmable for the kids, this may not be the place for you depending on the season. Water is a little harsh and there's a lot of sea creatures that may not make the swim so pleasant. If you want somewhere nice and relaxing this is the place for you if you don't mind going to another beach to get in the water.

Great restaurants to eat close by. Small mom and pop places. It was great. Highly recommend.

Our stay at Cairns

The Cairns Beach Resort is well located just north of the city across the road from the beach and the Straight on the Beach Café that serves really good coffee, while you take in the simply delightful view. Holloways Beach is within a short drive of Cairns for access to various charters including trips to the reef, one of the islands or other form of charter such as fishing or jet skiing. The resort is also well located for access to the northern beaches and a range of eateries including Yorkey's Knob, Trinity Beach, Palm Cove and a bit further north, Port Douglas.

The weather was fabulous, 27-30 in August, just delightful! We will certainly come back to Cairns for the weather, the people and the variety of things to do in the hinterland and out on the reef.

Passive Management

Our experience was not great due to there being limited catering facilities on premises and noisy guests. You need to purchase supplies prior or have an over-priced breakfast at the cafe across the street. The self-catering facilities of the apartment were extremely basic, no dishwasher and, without a range-hood/exhaust fan, just cooking toast sets off the alarm. There were extremely noisy guests; parents and kids screaming and running up and down stairs - this was every day during our five-day stay. Reception was close to the action but were waiting for guests to complain before managing the situation. I raised the liability concerns for the resort if the kids were hurt or if they knocked other guests over but they said there was not much they could do. I suggested a friendly sign to remind people about respecting other guests and safety - even in schools they have these and it's something kids can relate to. However, they did not seem interested. Or maybe we (and other guests) were just grumpy due to the beds being hard.

Lovely resort with fabulous staff!

This resort is in a really lovely, quiet area and is located quite literally, on the beach! The staff went above and beyond and were so friendly and helpful, a real delight! The room was comfortable and clean, with the kitchen stocked with everything we needed for cooking all of our meals. I would highly recommend a stay here and would love to come back the next time we holiday in Cairns!
