  Would not stay here again

  19 Jul 2025

  I know this is a “budget friendly “ place, but I expected it to be at least clean! It was not. Kitchen drawers were broken and dirty inside. Crockery and cutlery dirty, We had to wash everything before we used it. Some glasses were Leo chipped on the edges. Oven was dirty also, so we didn’t use that. There was mould on the ceiling in the bedroom. The aircon was also dusty, mouldy and smelt when turned on. There was only one face washer provided for 3 people for a week stay. The pillows were flimsy and soft, when I asked reception for 2 more I was told “ there are 6 pillows for three guests “ and “ some people like floppy pillows “ We went to Kmart and purchased our own pillows. The bed covers that were in the cupboards were also not clean. Holes in all the fly screens so there were midgies and mosquitoes getting inside.The whole place needs a good clean and scrub. Would not recommend this “budget friendly “ place to anyone.

  Be careful children get filmed

  03 Dec 2024

  We stayed here for one night because we had an early flight out of cairns . My daughter was swimming in the pool she was getting photographed and filmed put a complaint into the owner he basically said it's okay that's allowed to happen they've only been in the country for a few days. The owner is extremely rude and came knocking at our door at 10:10 p.m. and wake everyone up. I have reviewed on their website owner put his reply up which I've attached screenshot but he has since taken it down which will give you an idea of the place you staying at .Stay away from this business

  Poorly maintained rooms

  03 Nov 2024

  Run down. Poorly maintained, It’s don’t cost much to put in new equipment. The microwave door handle is broken, electric fry pan looks like it from the 80’s and has no teflonLeft on it, beside dirty before we used it. The steel wood is old and dirty come on it’s like $1 to put a new one in for each new guest when your paying over $120 per night surely you can put a new steel wood in a room. The manager isn’t friendly and it seems like he doesn’t want to be here. Asked a simple questions about local area and just got look at the board and walked away If we had our time over again wouldn’t stay here. We come back every two years for 1-2 weeks.

  Apartment in poor condition

  06 Jul 2024

  Very flexible check-in, but the apartment was in poor condition. Both patio chairs were broken, the walls were dirty, the bathroom floor was not clean, there was a short in the bedroom light, the bathroom fan was very noisy, and the top of the refrigerator was dirty/stained. We had planned to stay 4 nights, but we were not comfortable staying more than one night.Host said all we needed to do was to let him know and things would be fixed, and blamed the condition of the apartment on the fact that a long-term rental had just vacated. He took no responsibility for booking us into an apartment that clearly had not been inspected to ensure it was in good condition.Putting the blame on us for not requesting repairs was ridiculous. I expected a clean and functional place upon check-in, not one that would need work throughout our stay.

  No the tropical getaway we read about...

  30 Jun 2024

  Location was good & after hours check-in available, definitely budget friendly. There is no FREE Super High speed WiFi, barely any wifi in fact. Free secure car parking available on-site but go EASY on entry as your car will bottom out every time. It was so bad that we parked out on the street after multiple attempts. The 2 bedroom apartments included a full sized kitchen to cook in room but it was certainly outdated. I was surprised the oven worked. The pool didn't look clean so we didn't swim in it. I didn't witness a refurbishment program in the apartment we stayed in, couches maybe? Utensils were poor at best, we washed everything before using. The apartment was fifthy from the bathroom to bed matresses (blood/dirt/mould) to aircons. The toilet was leaking onto the floor and the dishwasher leaked on certain modes. All reported but nothing could be done until we left. A new mop and bucked was provided. I would like to have seen the refurbished apartment...
