“These apartments appeal particularly to families and groups who want to bed down within walking distance of Cairns' attractions. The self-catering facilities certainly add a practical dimension, and the apartment's considerable space stands out compared to standard hotel rooms. I noted the option of a mountain view from the balconies, adding a tranquil touch to the inner-city setting.”
