8/10 Very Good! (1,006 reviews)
The property was very well maintained, and the view from the balcony was spectacular. Very pleased with the safe parking garage as well. We decided to stay an extra night after returning from our live aboard trip. It’s located within walking distance of a ton of restaurants, shops and the ocean. The room was very tidy but a few things to consider: 1. The bathroom doesn’t have a fan so the floor tends to stay wet 2. The beds are on rollers and can push away from you when getting on it.

We stayed in Morris #517. This is an excellent well appointed, clean and remodeled unit. Some of the common areas have not been as well maintained, and a number of areas are currently being worked on. This is a mix of long term rentals, residents and short term holiday units. The local by the Cultural district is unparalleled in Cairns and makes this a great choice for active folks. the airplanes do land/take off nearby, so if that would be a bother to you please be sure to consider. For us, no worries.

What are some of the general tips for travelers to Cairns and Barrier Reef during the COVID-19 outbreak?
In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, traveling now comes with a few additional challenges. Have a read over these helpful tips before jumping on your plane to Cairns and Barrier Reef:
  • Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking government and travel websites.
  • Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked.
  • Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
  • To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
  • If you're taking food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
