Cairns Central Plaza had a great location, just across the street from a big shopping centre, and chemist also nearby. Easy walk to city centre, Esplanade, restaurants, train station for Kuranda, and bus stops. Friendly reception staff and housekeeping too. Everything cleaned well. View from our balcony was great, rooftop pool nice with heated whirlpool. We did find, however, that the apartment was in need of renovation: fan above stove was almost hanging off, washing machine stopped working halfway through our stay (we used communal laundry but had to pay extra), toilet seat was broken off hinge on one side and sofa was in need of a deep clean (food down the sides!). Washing machine was not fixed, nor kitchen fan, during our stay. Rooms were also not very soundproof, heard voices, telephone conversations and snoring from next door!
