Cairns Ocean View Apartment in Aquarius

Cairns Central Business District

"Fantastic location with great view. It was a quiet apartment apart from city noise. Great air flow though the apartment. The furniture and internal fittings were dated but clean and functional. Not a great look to see hand towels over the arms of the chairs, and old plastic flowers for decoration. The apartment would be a little more appealing with new lounge furniture, removal of nick knacks/flowers, new matching crockery and new updated bedding. Overall though, a good spacious...

One of best things to do in Cairns is ride the Kuranda Scenic Railway. It's a 90 minute journey that takes you down the mountain to Cairns passing waterfalls, scenic lookouts and over old bridges.

Catch the Skyrail up the mountain from Cairns and then catch the train back down. Or, vice versa.

Want to spot a turtle? A trip to Green Island will pretty much guarantee you a sighting! Just don't expect the best coral for snorkelling, but that's a trade off if you can bag a selfie like this... #waterlust

Top Tropical North Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Hilton Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"None"

Crystalbrook Riley

10/10 Excellent

"Paper Crane was terrific and well run. CC’s was still outstanding how it is run which is very Professional. A huge appreciation to Francisco as he Welcomed both my wife and myself with Great Professionalism. As soon as the bags were out of the Uber he was wheeling them in and then help check us in. Now that’s Great Service. Crystalbrook Riley ……. Fantastic!"

Pullman Cairns International

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at Pullman Cairns International and would absolutely recommend it. From check-in to check-out, the staff were incredibly courteous, welcoming, and professional. Housekeeping did an excellent job. You indicate when you would like your room cleaned. The room itself was very spacious and well-appointed, with all the amenities you could possibly need, making it extremely comfortable for a longer stay. The location is one of the hotel’s biggest highlights. It’s within walking distance to just about everything: grocery stores, the famous Night Markets, the marina wharf for excursions to Green Island or Fitzroy Island, and a wide variety of restaurants. If you’re staying in this area, you really don’t need a car. However, if you’re planning day trips to places like Port Douglas or the Daintree Rainforest, renting a car is a good idea. There’s affordable parking nearby through Secure Parking (pay via app). We paid just $6 per day, and it’s only about a 6-minute walk from the hotel. The hotel also offers on-site parking for $22 per day for added convenience, and you only pay for the days you need, not the entire stay. Overall, an excellent hotel with great service, a prime location, and comfortable rooms. We would definitely stay here again!"
