Arriving in Cairns in a state of total stress after a couple of months of house renovations, we stayed for eight nights in one of On Palm Cove Beachfront Apartments (which are part of Marlin Waters), and could not fault the quality of the apartment, it's furnishings, view and cleanliness. At the end of Day 1 we felt totally relaxed!... More

Pros: they supply linens, all room have ocean views + back doors so there's a good breeze. Kitchens OK appointed, french press (but no grinder). No kitchen towels. Property sits right across from the netted swim area. Ceiling fans were good. Can definitely hear the waves when the surf's up. Owners are very pleasant and welcoming. Cons: The property sits...

we chose Palm Cove for the final stop of our hectic 24 day tour of Australia, we wanted somewhere close to a major city but far enough and quiet enough to get away from the hustle and bustle of it.When arrived we found it to be better than advertised, and when we opened the door to the apartment fell in...

Location Marlin Waters is located on the main street in Palm Cove directly opposite the patrolled beach. This is a great location and is also next to all of the restaurants and cafes. Marlin Waters has a hotel located at the front but don’t worry it is secluded from the road/ footpath so no one can see you taking a... More

Once again we stayed at Marlin Waters on our trip to Palm Cove in January. We have stayed at other much more expensive places in Palm Cove & was initially hesitant at booking a 'budget' resort. Wow, Marlin Waters has got to be the best, value for money place we have ever stayed at in Australia. The apartments have everything... More

We arrived on a late flight from Sydney & there was an envelope outside reception directing us to our assigned room - no hassles for late arrivals. We were on the 3rd... More
