Argosy is a great place to spend a very pleasant and relaxing holiday. Not wanting the hustle and bustle of Palm Cove we were pleasantly surprised to find this quiet, charming spot at Clifton Beach that ticked all the boxes. The 2-bedroom/2-bathroom luxury apartment was very spacious and modern and the beds were really comfortable. There is lift access to... More

We stayed 2 weeks at Argosy on the Beach (we actually went back to them after we realised how much better it was than Palm Cove!). Just wonderful. Our hosts, Karen and Angelo were so caring, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Angelo even offered to pick up a pizza for us when our flight was 3 hours... More

We stayed here for 7 nights in late June/early July this year. Clifton Beach is a fantastic location when you are staying in Cairns, but want to be away from 'the City' (though it is easily reached by the many buses which pass along the Esplanade, or by car). Karen and Angelo were so very welcoming when we arrived, super... More

My wife and I stayed four nights (May 29th to June 1st). It is difficult to pick a place to stay at from thousands of miles away, but it seemed like a nice place via the website. Now we can assure others looking for a place in the Cairns Area, that the Argosy is an excellent place to stay. Karen... More

We stayed here several years ago, Christmas 2006 (couldn't chose that date from the tripadvisor menu). The apartment is really large, and so is the lanai. It is very pleasant to sit outside and enjoy the view. The owners are nice people, and very helpful. They booked a trip for us to the Great Barrier Reef. A pleasant extra: many... More

My GF and i stayed here last May and had an amazing time. The room we had was beautiful, and super clean. The beach across the street is one of my favorite beaches anywhere in the world. The couple that runs the hotel was very helpful with anything we needed. We can't wait to go back... hopefully soon! More

We stayed at the Argosy apartments two weeks after Cyclone Yasi, yet the landscaping was beautiful and the place did not look any the worse for wear. We think we were one of two parties of guests, which is a shame for the owners. The apartment was enormous for the price, and immaculate. We loved the two porches (lanais); one... More

I read reviews about Argosy and phoned to see if they could book us in short notice for a 6 day stay and the "Taste of the Tropics" tour package. I spoke with Karen, the manager and she whipped up a tailored package to meet out time line and needs. She was absolutely wonderful! The package was great; my husband... More
