Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good short stay the home was just as it looked on-line. The pool was nice and right outside the patio. Beds were comfy and showers were great with amazing water pressure. Trail right across the street made it easy and safe for running the location to stores and restaurants was very convienent. The biggest downfall was the understocked kitchen. As a traveler who likes to cook, it did not have any basic kitchen items (cooking spray, oil, and seasonings, tin foil etc) which I find in many homes.Parking spot is very tight so just be awareLaundry was greatly appreciated as well! ##### Victoria S. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ann J. Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Cairns stay Very difficult to communicste with property manager. Only a csll centre who often didn't know how to help or kept trying to tell you to try domewhere else to get information. Apartments was clean (except where indicated below)and we were able to get early checkin but one area of con able to confirm this until last minute The ceiling fans were dirty and hadn't been cleaned in ages. The smoke detectors needed new batteries. The lock on back door to the yard was too high for shorter people to reach and it's alarm also needed a new battery. The crockery and cutlery were in short supply for some items with only 3 sets whoch meant it was difficult to do a full load for dishwasher or lots of handwashing which wasn't what you want on a holiday Overall though it was a pleasant apartment. Not too far from town if you have a car to get around ##### Ann J. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Scott G.
