“This Cairns accommodation, a short distance from the Esplanade, seems particularly suited to families seeking space and convenience. The two-bedroom apartments, equipped with full kitchens and living areas, offer a practical alternative to standard hotel rooms, although some past guests have reported concerns with cleanliness and safety. For those prioritizing proximity to attractions and room size over guaranteed luxury, it could be a viable option.”
