We stayed 5 nights in 2010 in a 1 br self contained apartment which was comfy and fairly well appointed.The view from the verandah over the Esplanade was nice for breakfast,and the location was a long walk into the centre of town,but pleasant along the very nice esplanade. Our only contact with management was checking in and out so we... More

Staff are great and good facilities. About 25 minutes walk to town or less by taxi. We enjoyed lazing around at the swimming pool and relax. However, it's more for families than for couples, but nothing to complain about. Would go again. More

A very nicely run place, with friendly staff and good self-catering facilities, with a nice clean swimming pool. It's about a 20 minute walk into town, or a 5 minute taxi ride. My only criticism is that they could do with replenishing the kitchen utensils and providing a few storage containers - I don't really want to have to keep... More

Our family recently spent a week at The Waterfront Terraces and enjoyed our stay immensely. The staff could not be more helpful and the unit was spotless, thanks guys for everything and we will certainly be returning when time permits. More

I booked into Waterfront Terraces at the last minute after my mum had a stroke and I needed to be near the hospital. Katie was really helpful with my booking and gave me a great discount because mum was in hospital. I ended up having to stay 9 nights and I am so glad I stayed there. I had a... More

My wife and I (27 & 29) were looking for a place to stay in Cairns for 3 nights and I'm glad that we found the Waterfront Terraces. Our main concerns were that it was a little far away from the CBD and possibly a little close to the airport. But we really didn't have much to worry about. The... More

I recently travelled to Cairns to Study for 2 months. After searching the internet for the best value for money accommodation I emailed several hotels / apartments and got the standard rack rate and impersonal service. It wasn't until I emailed Waterfront Terraces, not only did I receive a welcoming response from Katie, I was offered a great deal for... More

We completely disagree with the previous review. We booked into Waterfront Terraces at the last minute after having a terrible experience on an island not far from Cairns. Not only did we get offered a fantastic rate for 5 nights, we got upgraded into a larger apartment. We found the apartments to be perfect. They had everything you could ever... More

We stayed at these apartments for 10 days. Found the appartment very musty and could smell a distinct :air freshener" smell when we arrived. A little forethought in maybe opening the windows and letting some air and light into the apartment would have gone a long way. Our initial reaction was disappointment but the longer we were there the better... More
