A hidden gem in the heart of Cairns. I am local and took 3 of my friends and their families to stay there and we all had a great time. We had family rooms which were lovely, clean and comfortable. The staff placed us all next door to each other and there was a large outdoor area just next door... More

We took advantage of the "spend 100.00 on dinner and stay free" deal. Found the staff very helpful, and the rooms nicely done, although old and could have been cleaned better. The waitstaff at the restaurant were awesome, and it was lovely sitting out in the garden with twinkling lights in the trees. We didn't feel rushed at all, and... More

The location is great, walking distance everywhere. Room was always clean daily. Pool facilities so nice. And the restaurant staff very friendly and quick service, especially Tao one of the staff...

I've just had a heavenly sleep in a very comfortable bed in a gracious room with plantation shutters. Had a Hot Rock steak which was excellent and, of course, cooked (by me) to perfection. Enjoyed a very good English breakfast and sampled all the Asian dishes as well. The hotel is in a central location and I most certainly will... More

Stayed using a Locals discount offer, which made it a great deal. We were in a tower room. The room had the plantation shutters as everyone else has mentioned, and yes they aren't blackout - but I had a fantastic sleep. I'm not a light sleeper, but if I was - the road noise would have totally been an issue... More

We stayed overnight and found the feel of the place lovely, so nice to have the tropical feel instead of the concrete boxes you get nowadays. We stayed in a tower room and could not really fault it. The only con would be the size of the en suite, which was very small but had everything you would need. The... More

The hotel has great visual appeal from the street – fresh white plantation style amid a forest of tropical palms. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast provided a reasonable selection and was quite satisfactory. However we really disliked the room which was very small and very basic. The window shutters did not close properly or provide acceptable... More
