I booked to be close to the conference I was attending and paid for the room in advance. The hotel location is good but the place itself was rather sterile and sad. They phoned me two days before arrival to say that there was a "maintenance problem" and my room would not be available. I was booked instead at the... more

We stayed here for 5 nights on our honeymoon. We were put in room 309. We had booked months in advance direct with the website for a harbour view 1 bedroom apartment so we got a fairly decent rate of around $180 per night. The rooms were nice enough - very 'Mirvac'. In another few months, I would say they... more

Front desk staff on the whole appalling and totally unconcerned with their guests' welfare, especially if you booked your apartment through an accomodation agent. I was told that housekeeping was not available for cut price rooms. regardless of length of stay. There was nothing wrong with the apartments other than the selection of T.V. channels was limited to the local... more

The Sebel Harbour Lights in Cairns was terrific! Our room (in off season under $100 US per night) was actually an apartment, with living room, dining room, kitchen facilities, washer/dryer, and separate bedroom and bath. Everything was brand new. The view from the room was gorgeous. The hotel is situated right at the marina from where all the day boats... more

The hotel is on the edge of the harbour so is near some nice restaurants overlooking the water and a few minutes further to walk into the shops of Cairns. We actually... more

We stayed at the Sebel Harbour Lights for 3 nights in total over the New Year Period. It is in a great location within walking distance to a variety of resturants, railway station and shopping centres. It is a new hotel, so the rooms are trendy and fresh. The higher levels have a better view, simply overlooking parts of the... more

I stayed in the Cairns at the harbour lights for one night with some family in a one bedroom apartment. Overall, I would recommend the hotel purely based on the location. I would certainly agree with other reviewers that the design of the building is rather sterile and clinical.. However on the upside it is very clean,the one bedroom apartment... more

What can I write about this hotel and make it sound interesting ... hmm not much. The thing about this facility is that I expected something more, and it was sooo UN-everything! Yes it’s new and yes the location alone is perfect for those people looking for the views and the water front of what Cairns city is. However as... more
