There are two bedrooms within the apartment, both with a queen bed, ceiling fans and air conditioning. There is one daybed in the living room with a single mattress which doubles as a sofa for your stay. Please note five guests is our maximum number of guests for this apartment, INCLUDING INFANTS). One bedroom is within the unit and does not have a window.
Even in the winter, our minimum temperature rarely dips below 20 degrees. We provide a flat sheet and duvet cover to the beds, not blankets as keeping cool is our problem here in the Tropics. We provide bath towels for each booked guest, as well as a pool towel.
There is one bathroom within the unit with a double vanity, shower/bath, toilet, and hair dryer provided. In the shower you will find shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. There is hand wash at both the kitchen and vanity.

We provide a smart TV in the apartment so you can log into your chosen TV subscription. We also have free, unlimited Wi-Fi** at the property.
**While we provide unlimited WIFI, this is for domestic use only and we cannot guarantee it will be sufficient for work purposes, or specific/highspeed downloading or uploading. Please bear in mind we are considered a regional area still in Cairns and the speed, and sometimes the Wi-Fi can behave as such. NBN is being installed and upgraded around the city still, and the speed may not always be to a high standard you would expect in a major city.
We have provided lots of photos on the listing, so you are able to view the property and resort in good details before booking.
PARKING
There is one designated parking bay in the secure, underground carpark for your use. The maximum height that can fit in the carpark is 1.95m high. If you have a second vehicle, there are some other parking bays inside the complex gates, but these are first come first served only and cannot be guaranteed. The complex parking is not suitable for large vehicles, campervans or trailers, although some people do park these on the Mann Street side of the complex. Please ask us before booking if you have any questions about parking.
CHECKING IN & CHECKING OUT
Check-in time – 2pm
Checkout time – 10am
Our priority is to provide a clean and comfortable property for our guests to stay. A thorough clean is performed between guests, and to maintain the standard we need to have the checkout time at 10am and the check-in time as 2pm.
We provide self check-in with a lockbox onsite – meaning you can arrive at any time and we do not live onsite or meet you at check-in/checkout time. We are never far away though and always contactable via the Airbnb messenger service for your stay.
**We do require your email for this apartment, as we have created a PDF guide to send through to assist with the self check-in process.
Details of the property and how to access the lock box will be sent to you on the day of your arrival after 10am. You will be provided with two sets of keys for you to use during your stay, details of this are on the PDF we send. Fees will apply if both keys are not returned at the end of the stay.
As we are only an apartment and we do not live onsite, we do not have luggage storage facilities available. There are lockers and companies nearby who can assist with this service if required. Please search Mind My Bags online if required.
COMMUNICATION
As we do provide self check-in and checkout, we do require good communication with guests on the Airbnb messenger app before and during the stay. Please ensure you have the app downloaded to make communication a breeze. It will also mean you can contact me quickly if needed during your stay.
GETTING AROUND & WHAT TO DO
The Airport is approximately 15-20 minutes’ drive away. Taxi & Uber are easy to catch from the airport.
The walk into the Centre of the City will depend on your level of fitness and speed you walk. It will take anywhere between 25-40 minutes to get right into the middle of the City and it is a flat walk/no hills. The reef tours all depart from the Pier, which is easy to get to.
We have a bus service around Cairns but it is quite limited. Please look up Sun Bus Cairns to check the timetable and to plan any trips may you wish to take.
We are spoilt in Cairns with an amazingly high quality of restaurants, bars and cafes. If you would like any recommendations, please let me know. I am always happy to share our great experiences.
Cairns has so much to see and do – it has something for everyone. From diving on the Great Barrier Reef, to the award-winning Sky Rail up to Kuranda, to snorkeling at Fitzroy Island, a Day trip up to the oldest Rainforest in the world, or just having a swim at the Lagoon. I have created a guest book which I am happy to share with any guests who need some ideas on what to do and see. Once you book you will have full access to this.
SEE YOU SOON?
I hope we have covered everything you will need to know about the property, the apartment, and Cairns. If you have any questions at all prior to booking, please just send us a message.
