We had a great wonderful time at the Cairns Aquarius. We had a 3 bedroom apartment. It was fully furnished with a fully equipped kitchen and was very spacious and bright. It is close to the ESplanade and great restaurants. The checkin and checkout process was smooth and the manager was available by email for a small issue we had.

Location of the property was excellent. Lots of dining options within 1 block. Furniture was tired however. Leather on sofa was cracking. Requested the two single beds in second room be made into one, although this was done, they remained two beds with 1 cover. Most accommodations have a mattress pad linking two beds together. The mattresses should be replaced, springs are wearing thru. In summary, stay for location, not for the bed. We provided our guests the main bedroom & received no complaints

Awful apartment

Very disappointed with this property. The suite was outdated with mould in the shower and bedrooms.
Kitchen cabinets were falling apart. Holes in the wall in the bedroom. Shower rusted. Smelt damp. Some of the lights not working. Did not feel like cooking here kitchen units smelt damp.
Only 1/2 a toilet roll provided
Other than that good base for day trips

We were impressed with the space, decor and cleanliness of the property but had a few issues. First, there was a leak of some sort in the bathroom. We mentioned to the manager but nothing was done. Next bugs! They came in under the sliding patio door! Lots of them! Lastly the dryer stopped working. The manager responded promptly to emails but nothing was done to resolve the issues. Granted the dryer was only on the last night. Still, 3 stars is generous

The view of the property is great! The location is also great - you can walk food and shopping within steps.

The main issue I ran into with the property is communication and maintenance. The shower did not drain in the master bath so I emailed the property manager and they said they would come and fix it right away but they did not. Also, the dining room chairs were not stable at all. One just fall apart when my wife tried to site on it. (my wife is a petite size.) It is a huge liability - not sure why they would keep using them. I also messaged them about it and it was not fixed during our stay.

Also, there is no tissue box anywhere in the apartment and they provide only one small piece of soap per bathroom. So, you need to bring soap or just buy them locally. These last two problems are not huge issues but a pain when on vacation.

Tired apartment

There is no reception, nowhere to leave luggage, and the communication is poor. I got a text message saying to text if I need anything and when I sent a text they never replied. The apartment is old. There were broken drawer handles, the sink drained very slowly and the toilet flush button got stuck regularly. On the plus side the view was amazing

Amazing location with amazing views. We stayed at a premium apartment on the 7th floor and as soon as we walked in, we were awed by the sea view. Apartment is spacious, comfortable, have everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The only concern I have is the tight security in accessing the floors. In one hand, it's good that no one can just walk in and out of the building without the key fob. But at the same token, you can't go down the lift to the ground floor without the key fob. On checked out, my husband went ahead of me and basically I was stuck at the 7th floor as I didn't have the fob key to use in the lift to go to ground. Luckily hubby remembered and came back up to get me 😆

Opposite the ocean with all apartments having great views. Two swimming pools that were great as nearly always empty. 3 x airconditioners in the apartments which are huge inside. Very good location two doors away from where restaurants start on the esplanade and the rsl club which is airond and tasty food is next door. Very quiet in the complex as never woken up by noise our entire trip.

The Location was fantastic and close to restaurants and attractions. The apartment was Very spacious and clean with magnificent water views from the veranda.
However the lounge definitely needs replacement as it was very uncomfortable to seat on it. the staff were very friendly and Helpful.

I found ‘Aquarius’ to be in an excellent position for someone who does not have a car to get around, easy and accessible to everything on foot, definitely return again.

The property is conveniently situated on the Esplanade and has a great view of the bay with the airport and the Pier at opposite ends in the distance.
The Aquarium and Restaurants are very close by and the RSL next door.
The apartments are mainly owner occupiers with only 9 apartments part of Wotif so there is no tourist/guest reception as such.
Our apartment # 81 is in need of an upgrade to the point that I would not stay in that particular apartment again.

Apartment 27. Great location, walking distance to all the restaurants, bars and Rustys market. Good sized balcony with perfect view of the Esplanade and across the water. Full sized kitchen and laundry. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Only negative was the main bed could have been a King in such a large room. Great value.

Comfortable cairns spot

Aquarius is in a great location, just up from all the cbd shops on the esplanade. The kids loved how close we were to lagoon and outside exercise equipment. A little bid dated on the inside but comfortable.

A perfect stay!

We had an amazing stay at the Cairns Aquarius Apartments. We stayed for six nights and wished we could have stayed longer. We were given a tenth story room which offered amazing views of the harbour. The apartment was huge with an awesome balcony and was in perfect condition. There were two pools, a tennis court and it was situated in close walking distance to restaurants, shops and tourist activities. Thank you for an amazing experience.

The view was spectacular with the gym and boardwalk in the foreground and the mud flats and ocean further out. Close to all restaurants, bus stops, bottle shop and grocer. We had an ideal time.

Location & facilities excellent. Panoramic views of ocean, marina & part of the CBD looking to the hills. Comfy beds, plenty of towels and supplies provided, AC & fans throughout apartment, coffee machine, even shopping trolley & umbrellas available for our use when we went out! Easy walk to great dining, shopping (including night market and Gilligans fresh food market). The owners assisted with luggage & even organised a taxi for us. Loved our stay, would highly recommend this place to anybody, and look forward to another holiday there. Thank you for a dream escape

Perfect location, great views. Highly recommend

This was the perfect location to stay in Cairns. You are minutes walk from all of the main attractions in the center and there are lots of great facilities for kids very close too. We had the corner apartment which had really great views of the ocean but also the mountains. The apartment itself is very spacious, has a great kitchen and massive balcony. The guests were very gracious and helped us out on our last day.

Great spot in Cairns.

We stayed in a fantastic apartment with great views over the water. It was large and spacious. Aquarius is ideally situated for lovely restaurants and for a visit to the aquarium.
