The room was large. It had all the amenities I needed. The only thing I would mention is perhaps put a picture of the 18 stairs one negotiates with 23 kg suitcase. Add a picture of the stairs. I know you say no elevator but a picture of stairs is worth a thousand words. ##### Mary Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kylie Maree Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Place was exactly as described, daily servicing went beyond expectation and is in an excellent central position. ##### Kylie Maree Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Steven Mar 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great location ##### Steven Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Farah Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Yes many shops ##### Farah Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicola Sep 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We had a pleasant stay.

So close to the coast and dining areas. Also walkable distance to shops. The stairs were a bit of a problem for us to get the suitcases up to our apartment. We are in our 70s. Room was very nice. Plenty of space. Bed a bit small and hard. Bathroom was fabulous. Great kitchenette. Some noisy road traffic if window open. Overall a great stay though. ##### Claire Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Oct 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Staying at the escape on Lake was awesome.

Unfortunately the bed was not comfortable, a simple bed topper might help ? Also the housekeeping was only average. I loved the location, it was quiet and could walk to the beach, the shops, and the bus stop. ##### Kerry Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marilyn Aug 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Great find Take no notice of what this place looks like on the outside. Our apartment was perfect for our stay in Cairns. It was well appointed with everything we needed, comfortable and conveniently located near the center of town. ##### Marilyn Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Annie May 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The place is very convenient but there are people each night making noise either talking, singing, and screaming.
