Good location, right on beach. Unfortunately very noisy with trucks loaded with rocks coming past every 10 mins due to beach erosion work. Should calm down once job complete. Unit could do with a freshen up. No oven or d/w but rest of kichen ok. Management very good.

While property was close to waterfront, there was not really much to see or do at Holloways Beach, compared to more northern beaches. Central to many ‘sights’ if i you have you our own car.

Clean, comfortable accommodation. Good bed. Reasonably equipped kitchenette - microwave kettle and stove top , no oven, plenty of utensils. Easy parking. Friendly helpful staff who ensured we got adjacent lower level units to suit older guest. Just across road from beach, so good location if that’s what you want. Didn’t use pool but it looked lovely. Would stay again if I needed to be in this location.

Overnight stop
We were only there for a quick place to crash before transferring to another hotel near our final destination so we probablyvreally only spent about 12 hours there in total but it was very nice and comfortable with everything you would need for a small family or two couples. Had a beautiful large spanning balcony with seating and a a table as well with views down to the nearby beach. The pool area was welcoming and the gardens throughout were gorgeous! Not much tobdo around within walking distance other than a liquor store and Code which was avery delicious restaurant and bar about 2 blocks away. The guidebook for guests was a little alarming as they stated many things about havong a safe travel making it appear that the area wasnt safe at night. However we walked around and didnt understand the reasoning behing it. Overall it was perfect and i wish we had more time to spend there.

Nice place. Beautiful gardens
Was nice. Gardens are beautiful. 8 day stay and their housekeeping says you get mid week housekeeping if stay longer than 7 days. There was no housekeeping. Same towels for 8 days. Washing machine but you had to buy your own powder. Make sure you have your own body wash and shampoo as you only get enough for 2 days. Toilet paper also limited. No mop only mop bucket. Very out of date tiny tv. Worst of all, the wifi is rubbish. It was like going back in time. Continual disconnections. Had to use my phone as a hot spot most of the time for streaming. Not up to 2023 standard at all.

This is a nice propery but as it is in a sleepy neighbourhood of Holloway Beach that it isn't serviced by busses often (hourly) and many excursion (or airport shuttles) don't pick up / drop off there. If you don't have a car, you will have to rely on Uber/ taxi. The beach is across the street and is very nice, and the property has a nice pool. The unit we stayed at had a newly renovated bathroom and the unit itself is comfy and spacious, but it is otherwise a little on the older side and has room for improvement in cleaning (eg sticky cupboards / drawers).

Very pleasant stay for a week. Quiet area, beaches just a few steps away and supported with Cafes and short distance to groceries etc. Gardens are spotless and parking was great. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Be warned if you are staying on higher levels there are no elevators which can be difficult when transporting suitcases but then you are rewarded with great views. I could find the barbecue area but no barbecue. The Internet was patchy and needed constant resetting. The modem was old and would probably solve that issue. The unit was large and user friendly and everything worked despite being a little dated. It was furnished albeit basic but functional. I would come back to this place but recommend you have a car as it is north of Cairns city centre but we liked the area. The lower price reflected this and I recommend staying here especially if you wish to travel further north.

Location, nearby cafes and groceries were all good. Staff friendly and helpful. Unfortunate things were low toilet paper provided which ran out, no dishwasher tablets, wi-fi was inefficient and couldn't connect, dryer has no external ducting and safety cut-off operated after 5minutes, dishwasher broke down. Minor issues but it did distract from our experience. Would we come back, yes.

We only got to spend one night at this beautiful beach apartment but wished we could stay longer! We had #68 which looked across to the ocean and was lovely and sunny and bright and very clean. Pool was awesome! The cafe across the road had live music and great food and excellent atmosphere. Everything at our doorstep. Perfect. Would definitely stay again

Ruby and her team are so lovely, kind and helpful. The units are fully functional to ensure a comfortable stay and are just across the road from Holloway's Beach for a beautiful early morning walk to start the day. The resort is about a 10 min drive into the CBD for other restaurants and reef charters. Its an ideal, quirt location for a fun and restful holiday.

There are lots of ammenities in this accomodation in an affordable price. The dryer is one of my favourite ammenities. Our room os clean and the area is tranquil. All we can hear in the morning is the birds chirping. The close proximity of the bus stop going to the Downtown also makes it convenient to stay in. Highly recommended and we will definitely stay again on our next visit!
