I had the privelage to stay at Tradewinds in Cairns. The unit was clean, fully furnished with two comfortable couches and a modern dining table. It was furnished to the point where I didn't need to purchase anything extra for the finest details. Wayne and Linda were always approachable and accessible and only to eager to help if needed.

Having previously visited Cairns on a number of occasions, we were well equipped to embark upon the holiday that we had already planned, yet Wayne was happy to assist when local advice or bookings were required. We found that the apartment was well presented with mostly modern furnishings. The complex is located a couple of kilometres outside of the CBD,... More

We found Wayne very helpful in planning our tours of the Barrier Reef and the Cairns area in general. He gave us good advice on the best days to do the various activities which suited us as a family (2 adullts and 2 children aged 13 and 12 years).

We had a lovely, modern unit which was fully equipped. The staff member we dealt with was very friendly and helpful. We needed to get away for the weekend and this was perfect. It was close to the centre of Cairns. We have already recommended it to a friend.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Upon check-in everyone is shown how to operate the front security gates personally as I watch for acknowledgment from guests on its operation as this is important to know how to operate, there is no code needed, it is a proximity system using your room key and is rare for any difficulties to occur....

Our experience was that it was clean and cool (a must for cairns). Wayne and linda the managers were helpful and available. Very close to esplanade,... More

Whilst our stay at Tradewinds was not unpleasant for a 3 star establishment, unless we had an opportunity to view a apartment before having to pay deposit in advance,we would not stay there again. In saying this to be fair, the linen, towels, fridge and oven were all clean and there was enough crockery etc to cook also a efficient... More

Sorry about the negative feeling our resort left you with. Yes, we do have a small number of apartments still urgently in need of refurbishment, the one you stayed in was one of them. A large majority have been refurbished already. We normally let our newly refurbished apartments out first, but because of your particular requirments "with an apartment over... More
