Sea Change Beachfront Apartments

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely enjoyed our stay. Our apartment was huge and had everything we needed for the week. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and being close to the pool. We would definitely stay here again. I have one comment. Not related to the accommodation but more for Expedia. They listed our room but didn’t specify that you need to recommend a type of room you want even though when we booked it was pictures on a higher floor with ocean views but we put on ground level next to the pool area. Again, not a fault of the seachange but Expedia. They need to correct this for future."

Marina Waterfront

Marina Waterfront

10/10 Excellent
"Marina Waterfront was perfect for our stay in Cairns. There was plenty of room inside and out. Really happy about the secure parking behind a gate for our 4WD's. The outdoor area was fantastic, plenty of seating with a lovely view of the pool and marina. The kitchen was well stocked with glassware, plates, utensils and pots and pans. Nice touches like condiments, coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper was appreciated, also the mozzie spay and candles. Washing machine and perfect undercover clothes line was also a bonus. Thanks for washing machine tabs :) Beds were comfy and the house was beautifully presented, clean and very tidy. It was a real pleasure to stay in a property so thoughtfully put together. We hope we can come back again soon."
