Villa Vaucluse is situated in a great location (short stroll to all the amenities of Cairns but at the same time positioned on a quiet street). The apartment was very clean, quiet and had everything you needed for a short or longer stay. The pool area was great. Lots of sunshine but also plenty of shaded areas. Pool had two shallow areas which my young daughter enjoyed splashing around in every day. If you do require a car there is plenty of underground secure parking. Yes there are a couple of rules you are asked to abide to, but personally I don't think it is too much trouble to empty your own bin. The manager (Brett) was always on hand and we found him very accommodating. We had a wonderful stay at these apartments and would definitely stay there again if we find ourselves in Cairns.
