I was visiting Cairns by myself so I liked the fact that there were only 5 units and they were in a secure building.
Unfortunately the bed was not comfortable, a simple bed topper might help ?
Also the housekeeping was only average.
I loved the location, it was quiet and could walk to the beach, the shops, and the bus stop.
