We could arrive late at night and the check in was easy even though there was noone at the front desk yet. We had received a message with all the required information. We found a large room, clean and comfortable. Everything was higher than expected. We felt sad about only staying one night in Cairns

Short taxi ride from the airport, fantastic friendly staff at front desk. I had a great view from my balcony, so pleased I upgrade to a room with an esplanade view. Great time out spot with a wine and a book. Surprised at how close I was to the pier and the water front too. Lots of cafe, bars, restaurants very close by and I felt save walking around on my own in the early evening. Lots to do if you want to be busy. My room and bathroom were big and clean.

We were lucky to be upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment overlooking the main pool. The apartment had everything we needed for our 6 night stay including a full oven and washing machine and dryer. Bed was very comfortable. Pool was heated enough to take the chill off the water and had plenty of loungers around it to sit and soak up the wonderful sunshine. Location was within walking distance to Trinity Beach, restaurants and even the local bus service to Cairns.

We visited Cairns twice during our travels.

We visited Cairns twice during our travels. The first time we explored all the main attractions- Aquarium, Botanic Gardens, Fitzroy Island and stayed in a hotel. Our second stay was for a bit of down time having travelled up to Daintree and the Tablelands. We really wanted a bit of relaxation and self cooking so this apartment was perfect. Great food around the pier area. The seafood on the Prawn Star was superb and if you’re self catering, then Woolies has everything you need. The lagoon is perfect for families as is the Muddy Cafe and play park.

Palm Cove is a small beautiful area, very quiet if you are looking for a relaxing time. 9.30pm no-one around bars empty even at weekends. If life is what you are looking for then Port Douglas is bigger with more bars. We found nice restaurants in Palm Cove especially Vivo, meal outstanding. Nu Nu was a lovely setting, expensive and our table was like sitting on the medium strip of the Bruce highway, staff racing past not the relaxing atmosphere for a celebration meal more like a fast canteen!! Rattle n Hum food ok nice atmosphere. Live music at the Irish Bar food good

hotel was right on the beach so excellent for sunrise and sunset photos. beach is picturesque with a nice lookout at one end. close to restaurants, quick drive to a supermarket. phone reception was patchy on beach front but fine around the corner. room has only a bar fridge not full size. off road parking can be tight if you are last one's home.

The beautiful breeze was lovely whenever I sat on a comfortable seat on the grass near the beach... We thought the views were amazing in every way we turned on the walkway across the road from the Agincourt Beachfont...We will be returning. It will most likely be in the winter though, as humidity is very high in the summer for us, as a couple from the central coast, in N.S.W. Thank you! It is close enough for a drive to Cairns, Port Douglas and other beautiful spots.

A good alternative to the much trendier and therefore pricier northern beaches of Trinity Beach and Palm Cove. And definitely much quieter! A comprehensive shopping strip on the main street and of course not far from the large shopping complex at Smithfield. A few restaurant options available, including the yacht club. There is a bus service into Cairns CBD, but I would recommend hiring a vehicle for your stay. Taxis are very expensive.

Beautiful, quiet and relaxing (wasn’t crowded at all when we were there in June). Seems to be off the beaten path for tourists—seemed to be more locals there, so probably not typically as crowded as some of the more well known beaches. We probably wouldn’t have known about it if we weren’t staying at a house on the beach. Neighborhood is quiet and beautiful, although not a ton of beach parking for visitors. Beautiful walking path, small playground, picnic tables, incredible sunrises, sand is soft and silky, water is warm to wade in, however, swimming is not recommended due to possible crocodiles.
