Very spacious and plenty of storage space in the two-bedroom apartment. What was disappointing was that the fans in the bedrooms did not work except at full speed and could not be fixed during our stay of one week. Also, the Internet was supposed to be accessed from our rooms but could not and we had to use theReception area... More

This is a miniature town-like cluster of 16 apartment buildings with complex facilities (if you can honestly call them that). Only a percentage of the apartments are rented out by The Lakes and the rest seem to be privately owned & managed. We were disappointed that this was not a hotel style resort as I believe if it was it... More

This was our 10th and final hotel on our east coast trip from Sydney to Cairns. A 2 night stop here to hand the car back, do the Kuranda skyrail and train and then catch our flight to Singapore for a night before home to the UK. Check in was very swift and the room was very clean and comfortable.... More

Tidy property, but must have car as outside of cairns! This property is ideal for families. Too quiet etc for anyone else. 1 restaurant, but not always open and no bar but 3 or 4 lovely pools. The buildings are all fairly close together so noise does bounce around. More

Rooms are beautiful, come with everything and very modern and lovely and comfy, the beds are hard though but nice that you get a king size ! There are lovely various pools that you can walk to within the resort, very luxurious. Perfect for wanting peace and serenity and nobody else around but for us, we love to sight see... More

Firstly I have to say the apartments were very good. However we arrived late in the evening and inspite of feeling very tired had to drag our suitcases around the site with a map, until we found our apartment block. Please note that there are no lifts to the first floors so you have transport your lugage up flights of... More
