John on the desk was very helpful after a terrible first night in Cairns. Checked in at 11.00pm as we had to leave the hotel we originally booked due to cleanliness. Made us laugh and changed our mood completely. The hotel itself is really lovely with a balinese feel. Good location to beach, city centre and train station. Used the jungle style pool everyday!

A very relaxing place to stay , very beautiful and well kept gardens giving that nice tropical holiday feel . Lovely well looked after pool . Very secure and great for a lone traveller or a family . The staff were welcoming and worked really low key in the background to make my stay enjoyable . Close to a well known club and DFO shopping outlet , also a supermarket for groceries . well shielded from main road noise . Would definitely stay again without a second thought . 👍

Convenient location. It is a budget motel, so in this price range, expectation should be consistent with the rate.

The location was fantastic and the price was good after reading the reviews I was quiet anxious but honestly the staff were friendly the room whilst older was big and spacious , the bed was 2 singles combined but as a solo traveller was fine. For the price it meets its needs. If you want something fancy spend the extra money and stay elsewhere, if your after budget accommodation close to everything, this is good.

Location was amazing, right in the city centre, close to everything. I also liked to have a little breakfast (cereals, pancakes, some toppings, milk and drinks) and not having to buy things and take care of it. Staff was nice and people living there too. No loud parties or anything, really calm.

A very cozy place emanating good vibes. The friendly owner and staff take good care of keeping the place tidy, welcoming, and clean. The toilet, bathroom, and kitchen spaces are more than adequate for the number of guests and perfectly functional. The location of the building is also ideal: just outside of the city center, which still lies within a 15–20 minute walking distance at a leisurely pace, the place is also close to shops and convenience stores. Definitely recommended!
