I love this hotel. The staff are flexible and friendly. My flight arrival was early in the mornig but they accepted early check-in. I was so grateful for it because I was so tired. Besides, this hotel is clean and beautiful. You can enjoy beautiful drawings about great barrier reef or Cains in your room or corridors. And the room interior is also nice and I like it. The last reason I recommend is near supermarket called WoolWorth and you can buy anything there. It was really convenient during the stay. I promise your stay is going to be perfect.

The weather in Cairns was hot and humid, but the region’s beaches and rainforest were beautiful. We enjoyed the Kuranda Scenic Railway despite the heat in the carriage. The Skyrail was a highlight, offering stunning views and unique things to explore at each stop.

Cairns is a great holiday destination with so much to do.

Cairns is a great holiday destination with so much to do. Tropical Islands, hinterland hideaways, tourist attractions and untouched nature. It's a great mix of all the best things. Highlights of my trip were Mossman Gorge, snorkelling at Fitzroy Island, Kuranda Skyrail and Scenic Railway. I also loved being on the Esplanade for all the eateries, and the fabulous swimming lagoon.

Went out to Michaelmiss Cay, great experience on a smaller family boat. Just need to pick the right weather,it was 20 knots and made it a bit uncomfortable for me snorkeling as I’m 77 but ok for everyone else. The staff on the boat were very friendly and helpful and safety was their main thing,checking all the time that everyone was on board etc and asking if you needed anything.

We didn't do our homework, could have spent longer. We plan on returning to do some of the things we missed. The train and Skyrail trip was amazing, although we would have liked to spend longer at Kuranda. Would consider overnight there for another trip. Lot's of beautiful restaurants to visit, we were really spoilt for choice. The aquarium is an incredible destination, so informative and stunning displays. Our trip out to the Barrier reef and snorkeling off the pontoon was phenomenal. Transport via Uber was super easy, really helpful when the temperatures are so high!

We arrived in Cairns early in the morning for my first Full Ironman. Upon arrival at Vision Apartments, we were greeted by hosts Steve and Natalie Mullins who were incredibly friendly and informative. I was so pleased to be advised that our apartment was cleaned and ready to check in at 10:00am. We were given a really warm welcome and an amazing explanation about the facilities. The apartment was very clean, tidy and spacious and had a beautiful view over the esplanade and the ocean. I can't wait to go back next year!

Superb room and bathroom, all modern, well maintained and clean, hotel is right next to the marina and the lagoon / esplanade But highlight is undoubtedly the friendly family team running the hotel. The manager Peter couldn’t have done any more to make my stay more enjoyable - from a fuss-free early check-in, to booking all my planned activities for me (at a discount - including a scuba trip to the Great Barrier Reef). Thanks again for a fantastic stay - nowhere else I would book in Cairns.

Fantastic location within walking distance to the bars and restaurants on the esplanade without being right on top of it. Hotel staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to help us out. Accommodation was comfortable and clean, perfect for an affordable family vacation. The set up of our two bedroom apartment was ideal with the rooms being separated by the two bathrooms and laundry. The Bay Leaf restaurant was wonderful. Staff were friendly and the food delicious.
