Very quiet vacation park. The chalet was immaculate. Check in was a breeze.

The beds were really comfy and clean. We really enjoyed our stay, you get given soap and towels for the shared bathrooms. The bathrooms and toilets are clean and so is the pool around the park. They have laundry service which you have to pay but the reception was quite happy to exchange my money for coins which was a lifesaver. Really friendly...

The beds were really comfy and clean. We really enjoyed our stay, you get given soap and towels for the shared bathrooms. The bathrooms and toilets are clean and so is the pool around the park. They have laundry service which you have to pay but the reception was quite happy to exchange my money for coins which was a lifesaver. Really friendly place. There’s a bus stop at the end of the road which takes you to cairns city centre for 50 cents which is really good.

Very nice lodge, comfy beds. Lovely staff. I arrived way earlier than expected, and they did their best for my room to be ready ASAP, I ended up checking in around 10 am and I didn't have to wait until the regular 2 pm check in.

What could be improved: A bit far away from the city center. The cleaning of the bathroom could've been better.

Location close to the airport
Proximity to all amenities
Comfy bed
Good AC
Nice swimming pool

What could be improved: The bunk bed was kind of close to the bottom king bed so you have to be really careful not to hit your head
You also have to bring the key with you when going to toilet

Sholto from Australia (February 11, 2025)

I’ve stayed here twice now. Easy location, close to Airport. Rooms have all you need.

What could be improved: Shower and toilets a little dirty, but I did check in at 850 pm…so expected I suppose.
TV is tiny.
Wifi did not work at all.

Smooth check in and check out. Location was great not far from centre and only 10 minutes to airport. Room was nice with great aircon and fridge. Shared bathrooms were sufficient. What could be improved: As we were in a lodge at the back of the park, the WiFi didn’t reach our room and also no mobile service. Had to use a key to access bathroom and...

What could be improved: As we were in a lodge at the back of the park, the WiFi didn’t reach our room and also no mobile service. Had to use a key to access bathroom and toilets which sometimes was inconvenient

Good location and friendly greeting. Comfortable room.

Jason from Malta (December 4, 2024)

9/10

What could be improved: Rooms door don't lock automatically. A sticker on the interior side of the door stating to keep locked at all times due to intruders breaking in at night would definitely help. But overall nice and clean place and friendly staff.

Steven from Australia (December 4, 2024)

8/10

The accommodation is comfortable and very reasonably priced. The staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Catalina from Spain (December 2, 2024)

8/10

The little bungalow with everything you need. Shared clean toilets and aircon. Very helpful in reception.

What could be improved: You need to take a bus to go to the centre if you don’t have car but it’s only 50cts.
