Was greeted with a very warm welcome and like the stress free check in with easy to follow instructions. Room was spotless and with a nice view over the ocean,esplanade and lagoon. Everything we needed was here microwave.. stove..washing machine and all pots pans ect… Right outside front door is night markets and if you don’t want to cook there is a food court with food from around the world. But had a peaceful time and great security. Nice to return after 10 years and find it is still perfect. Thank you

Disappointed

Very disappointed. On the 6th level 04.

The dryer was in the living room area.
The air conditioner was very loud and affected me sleeping.
The vanity was cracked.
The plumbing of the vanity was held together with duct tape.
The front door open into the bedroom.

The noise from the foyer of the lifts open and closing could be easily herd in bedroom when you were trying to sleep.

There was an ocean view but most of the view was the carparks and air condition plants and rear fire escapes and of adjust buildings.

There is much better value in new properties for the money paid.

I have stayed here on many occassions over the 15 years and have had be allocated much better rooms.The location is fantastic.

I had to wash all the cups and dishes as they were greasy.
Otherwise it was great.
The view was amazing!
The Esplanade and night markets were right outside. Loads of bars and restaurants just seconds away.
We watched loads of birds flying past our balcony.

I think all the bad reviews must be about the same apartment ? Our apartment was very dated. We had to use a fork to get plug out of the bath. Black tape for fix of pipe work (visible) and floor filthy. Isn’t one bedroom. Front door opens straight into bedroom area and they have a screen you can pull across (but then can’t get around the bed if you do) more like a studio apartment. Definitely not one bedroom. Walked around barefoot and feet were very dirty quite soon. The main issue was the balcony. The chairs were extremely worn/split fabric. We did have a sea view if you looked directly in front but the main view was of the backs and side of restaurants inc McDonald’s. So bin areas/parking etc. so we also had noise from all their huge extractors and the food smells. apartments own air con extractor is located on the balcony which is noisy. Turning that off helps slightly ? All this meant we didn’t really use the balcony, which was disappointing as that’s a main reason we booked this. Photos very misleading.cant believe the cost tbh as we have had so much better for less. We expected to be able to enjoy breakfast /a glass of wine on the balcony. This was impossible. The location is really good, (very noisy from pub til late on a Saturday) staff friendly. Apparently we had a very good apartment when we asked at checking in?? I assume that was a standard reply as it honestly is very poor. Also WiFi is additional cost? Fab area but book somewhere else.

We’d not fully realised just how close to the esplanade and the whole range of restaurants and shops immediately on our doorstep. We were there a week and hired a car dior a couple of days choosing Europcar because their vehicles were parked in the hotel carpark - so no parking fees - guaranteed parking after a day trip and drop off at the airport - so no transfers either. Staff were welcoming and friendly. The garden room we rented was perfect for us…with an adequate kitchen ann a bbq in the garden. Would fully recommend this place.

The BreakFree Cairns boasts some amazing staff, central location and an aging building with odd unit design.

Our experience had us \"jokingly\" terming it the BreakDown Royal Harbour. In hindsight, we feel we ought to have been partially refunded for the inconveniences.

On the positive side
Central location
*Comfy beds
*Clean
*Excellent staff, mostly. One man (Valter) was 5 star... hope you get him for service! He's incredible.
*Spacious lounge area, although no powerpoints or lamps near sofa for reading at night.
*Lovely gardens and pool.
*Book share area.


It may have been a one off, but unfortunately our 9 night stay wasn't smooth at all.
The room was more suited to the younger person or a couple, not two more mature ladies.

* Unfortunately, we had no cold water on our first day. This was rectified.
* The spa with shower was difficult to get into and also very slippery so we were given a non slip mat.
* The bathroom was not really suitable for twin share travellers and better for couples as it had only glass petitions and no privacy from the outside world. We were on the ground floor.
* The washing machine broke down completely.
* Bedroom was extremely small, had no natural light and lacked privacy and had no room for two suitcases.
* Kitchen was pretty but impractical -no dishwasher, no pantry space, no oven, had to ask for basics like salad bowls etc

Things were rectified by the staff, but our good experiences at the Breakfree were few.

Location was great!

The location was very good but the apartment was tired and needed maintenance. The apartment was supposed to be ocean view but could only see a small amount of water. There was no dishwasher or clothes dryer. I had a 10 night stay and so little things were annoying like only a few satchels of dish washing and clothes washing detergents being provided as part of a welcoming pack. Soap at bathroom hand basin but not in shower recess so had to buy soap etc. At the cost per night that I paid these little things should have been provided.

Everything We Wanted

Our one-bedroom unit with ocean views at Breakfree Royal Harbour ticked all our boxes. The property is managed by ACCOR so members get ACCOR privileges, free wifi etc. but as the units are individually owned, each unit may not have the same amenities.
Our unit had everything we needed, bedroom, living area, kitchen, bathroom with huge shower, washing machine and clothes line discreetly installed on balcony. The balcony overlooked the leafy Cairns esplanade and the harbour. Aircon worked well.
Situation perfect for walking to restaurants, shops, aquarium, museum and public buses. Slightly longer walk to casinos and marina. Outdoor parking is free but spaces are limited. Reception hours are 8am-6pm and staff are very friendly and helpful. Service is weekly but extra towels, coffee etc. are available from reception.
Breakfree had everything we wanted, but because there is no restaurant nor 24-hour reception it doesn't make the five star category.

Disappointed that the ocean view apartment was not what they show on their webpage. We got a back/end of building room with limited views. I asked to move to the front of the building but was told it is the luck of the draw as to what room you are given even though I requested the front view when booking. Oh and the pub next door has a techno afternoon (until 9pm) every Monday, loud is an understatement 😡

Located across the road from the esplanade lagoon, this older accommodation is clean and well maintained. It is close to restaurants, cafes and the harbour and was a fantastic location to view the recent fireworks. Royal Harbour has a gym, barbeque area and outside pool which is convenient when the council seems to close the lagoon area for maintenance at this time every year.
