“a wonderful relaxing beachfront holiday apartment”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 16, 2012

My husband and I just returned from a six night holiday and we were so impressed with the comfort and ease of this beach holiday apartment. The location was fantastic with the beach right across the road, a beach cafe very close by and a very nice restaurant and IGA about 10 minutes walk away. Public transport was readily accessible and plenty of parking in the building. We were welcomed by the ever hospitable Karen. She was always so very happy to assist with directions or recommendations for a good meal. Will will certainly return to the York. A wonderful holiday!!

“Top spot and great managers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2012

This is the second year that we have stayed here and we will be back again next year. The location is perfect. Opposite a beach that is patrolled every day of the year and is wonderful to wal along;, around the corner from the Boat Club with its music, meals and wonderful views; and there is a funky restaurant called Krokadilos nearby. It is just 10 minutes from Cairns city with its great music and entertainment. Unlike the beaches further north you do not have to negotiate a winding highway to get to town. Best of all are the on site managers. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are always happy to provide advice and suggestions on what to do and see. This is just the place to spend winter.

Room Tip: If you want a view go upstairs, but I prefer to walk across to the beach itself.

“Modern apartments on the beach.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2011

Very modern 1 bedroom apartment, opposite the beach. Great location, and only a 10 minute walk to the small shopping area, where you can buy booze & food. All facilities provided including washing machine & tumble dryer. Lounge, balcony, bedroom at the back which stays cool and modern bathroom. The apartments were very clean and well serviced.

Karen & Graham were very good hosts, there if you needed them.

My husband & I had booked Yorkeys Knob, because there is a new bird reserve there "Cattana Wetlands" which we wanted to visit. As it was probably about a 30 minute walk there (5 minute drive) , Karen offered to drive us there and then came to collect us - this was greatly appreciated as the temperature was in the late twenties/early thirties!

Karen also recommended Krokodillos - a restaurant on the shopping complex - FABULOUS FOOD at reasonable prices.

All in all a wonderful stay at The York Beachfront apartments - Highly recommended.

Room Tip: There a 3 floors - Ground, first & second - NO LIFT.

“Dissapointed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2011

We booked this resort from NZ and were impressed with the previous reviews on tripadvisor.
When we arrived we were met and asked to pay for the five days we had booked in advance.
After checking in we were disappointed with the unit, old 20 inch t v, tired furniture, uncomfortable cane couch, a long walk to the restaurants, in our opinion not a four star room, so we went looking and found a lovely apartment right on Palm Cove Beach and for a better price with lots more restaurants etc nearby. We were refused a refund (of any of the nights booked) which we were not happy about so we left a little disappointed in the management and the resort.

“Great Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2011

Me and my wife had a wedding to go to at Yorkies Knob and we couldn't of been happier. The service we got from the managers was unbelievable, you can tell they love there job and are great at it. I have never been treated as well as I did as they did. The units are by far the best I have stayed in. For price and and quality its great. The yacht club is a great place for a drink, or wedding reception and the chef (steve ?) was great. I will be visiting The York again with out a doubt. Interesting that the people with a little bit to complain about sound like whinging poms LOL
