Agincourt Beachfront Apartments
Everything was so easy and perfect and talk about nice and peaceful with not much traffic like other beach’s. Pay the extra few dollars and go top floor and don’t worry there is a lift. Could invest in a trolley so our luggage could be taken up in a couple of trips from car park .Will be back next ...

Cairns Harbourside Hotel
Property along the Esplanade but almost 2 miles from the Marina and shopping. Fitness facility is OFFSITE and a 10 minute walk. Rooms are very basic, although good size. Tubs (showers) are very difficult to get in and out and the faucets dripped constantly
