Perfect location
Darrell's apartment was clean, modern and perfectly placed to explore Cairns. We stayed over New Year and had a great view of the fireworks from the balcony. All the amenities are provided for a comfortable stay, with a comprehensive local guide of things to see, eat and do. Darrell himself was exceptionally helpful and responded to all emails promptly. We would definitely stay again if in Cairns.

Great location in a bright and spotless condo
We were able to walk to the supermarket, restaurants and the marina from our location. Initially the bedroom was configured for a couple rather than two singles but Darrell took care of that very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Great location!
Great location in Cairns- close walk to everything including restaurants, reef terminal, lagoon, shopping, bus and train transportation, night market, and aquarium! It was clean and had everything to make the stay comfortable. The complex is quiet which was perfect for us, even though it was on a busy street and above the night market. Pool was great and never busy. This is definitely not a place younger people stay, which even though we were, this was the perfect atmosphere to relax which is exactly what we were looking for. And it’s just a quick walk to any activity, restaurant or bar. Saving the best for last- great view of the ocean and surrounding area. Loved it!
