This was an awesome place to stay. You can't actually see the beach from the hotel, but it's about a one minute walk. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and didn't give us any trouble when our washing machine stopped working, they just replaced it. I will definitely stay here again if I go back to Cairns.

We would certainly return to this accomadation if we return to Cairns at a future date More
