For a quick holiday in Cairns, I looked for a hotel/apartment with specific requirements: it had to be close to the esplanade yet away from the crowds; it should have harbour views, it should be peaceful and quiet and it should be quality accommodation at reasonable rates. Judging by previous reviews and self research, Cairns Harbour Lights seemed to fit... More

Friends of mine recently stayed here for 7 nights. Initially they were placed in a two bedroom apartment with brilliant views, but, it was incredibly stuffy in the room. We discovered the aircon was reading an error message so, informed reception. The fabulous women at reception were straight onto it, and, when it was apparent it was unable to be... More

Our room and the hallways were rather minimalist - room had a small desk and one chair BUT it was clean and comfortable! Our room overlooked the garden to the side of the hotel - a great view for the 4:00 bat parade!!! Our room was very quiet - we never heard our neighbors. We enjoyed the balcony while having... More

Only spent one night in the Hotel but they provided early checkin 11 am and also upgraded us to a 1 bedroom apartment from a studio. We very much appreciated this. The staff were great, the hotel very clean and lovely thick towels etc, comfy bed. The only criticism I have is the starkness of the hotel, there is nothing... More

Great views of the Marina Perfect location before/after a dive boat trip - right next door to the Reef Terminal Only downside was that someone elses soap was left in the shower so clearly the cleaners don't clean that much! More

Harbour Lights apartments have everything for a luxurious holiday in the most convenient part of Cairns. We had a two bedroom apartment on the 11th floor which had a security card to enter the foyer, to use the elevator and for parking. There is a security door on the apartment which lets in a lovely cool cross breeze if you... More

Stayed a few nights for holidays. Room was spacious, clean and with a lovely outlook! Terrific location on the Esplanade with access to everything in downtown Cairns. Didn't try the pool, though. I recommend it. More

We stayed for 1 night on our way home from Port Douglas as we had a flight to catch the next morning. We had a studio room (no kitchen, but tea/coffee making facilities). Room had a little desk with a modem for internet (extra cost). Bed was excellent. Bedding was clean and fresh. Towels were large and fluffy (3 towels... More
