We have just stayed at Aquarius Cairns for 5 days for a family visit/get together which I do each year. This is the first time staying at Aquarius, but definitely won’t be my last. We stayed in unit No 3 which is classed as a Garden view unit. We found this unit to be very well appointed with everything you... More

We have been staying at the Aquarius for the last 5 days. a very comfortable apartment, enjoyed having 2 bathrooms with 2 teenagers! Loved the ocean view and the location of the Awuarius cannot be faulted. my only quibble- we would have liked more large drinking glasses- certainly we had enough for 4 people, but not all were matching and...

Even better than we had hoped for!!!We have just stayed 3 nights at Cairns Aquarius mid-March 2012. Fantastic. Very reasonably priced 2 bedroom/2 bathroom delux apartment right on the waters edge. Clean, spacious, and modern with everything and more than we needed. Fabulous view from balcony where we spent many hours watching cruise boats, people and at night, bats. We... More

Sold the business and had our first family holiday in six years. We toured all over Queensland from the Gold Coast to Cairns. Really outstanding and much more to come in the future. Highlight of this trip was Cairns and our 5 day stay at the beginning of March in Aquarius Apartments. We had a Premium garden level apartment (no... More

We stayed in apartment number 66 for 3 nights and we enjoyed every minute of it. The apartment has a fabulous view of the sea from the living room and balcony. Everything is clean, new and modern. You can find all the cooking equipments that you would ever need, including a few baking trays and tins! Oh the location was... More

Apartment complex on the beachfront in Cairns. Aparments are not a "hotel", but by rent of private owners. (If I have understood it right). Anyway, a great premium apartment om a high floor overlooking the beach. Great interior, and 2 bedrooms with separate toilets. Very nice balkony to sit down and relax looking boats coming and going from the Great... More

Thank you for your comments. You are quite right, Cairns Aquarius is not a Hotel. There are 85 apartments all separately owned. Many are occupied by residents who live here and the remainder are holiday let. We believe this is what makes staying at the Aquarius such a unique experience. Guests can feel like there are in a home away... More

Our family has stayed at the Cairns Aquarius on a number of occasions. Our experiences have always been very positive. Excellent service from management and also very pleasant staff in the foyer who made one of our little girl's day by giving her some fresh flowers. We have stayed in unit 42 on each visit, both before and after renovations.... More

The Aquarius resort is perfectly located in Cairns, right next door to the city but in a slightly quieter corner of the Esplanade. Everything is in with easy reach without feeling that you're in the middle of the tourist zone. Cairns is hot so much of our time there was spent either in the Lagoon, at nearby gorges or in... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a Trip Advisor review. Several guests who have also stayed in newly renovated apartment 42 have made similar positive comment. As our previous reviewer aptly put it "what's not lo like". All of our Premium apartments feature huge living and entertainment areas. A very modern and functional kitchen, which is fully equiped...
