Everything you could wish for and more .

Darrell's apartment is a little gem ,located right in the heart of Cairns ,you don't need a car unless you plan on leaving the city itself. Darrell's apartment has it all, clean, self contained which is always a must if staying for at least a week, not to mention the amazing views. So if you want to tick all the box's then I would recommend this beauty, we would definitely stay here again, also very easy instructions to check into the unit as well ,as some times this can be the tricky part but not this one , so simple.

The location is very good with a good view. The unit has everything you’d need for a short stay. However, the interior could use some sprucing up with fresh paint & some pictures especially in the bedroom. The furniture is too big for the space in the living area. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Great location

Perfect spot for our 4 days in Cairns. Nice view from balcony and very comfortable bed. Could be 5 stars…just needs a little paint job so the walls don’t look so dingy (our first impression). The apartment is in a great location to walk everywhere. Communication with owner is excellent.

Short stay with everything we wanted

Only two nights but everything was as good as advertised. Great location, beautiful view of ocean, very convenient to restaurants and our barrier reef cruise. We used washing machine and overnight hanging of laundry worked well. Comfortable beds and well equipped. Would highly recommend and hope to use this facility again

Perfect Location

We really enjoyed this accommodation, clean, easy to access, everything we needed, plenty of space and privacy. Just step out the entrance onto the main Esplanade Street and everything is right there (You will never go hungry!) Although there is a pool onsite, it is also only a one minute walk to enjoy the lovely Esplanade Pool. Six minutes walk to the Casino. Comfortable bed and the lazy boy couch was great. Large smart TV and the most beautiful view, especially of the Ferris Wheel just across the road at night.

What a fantastic 5 days in Cairns! The location totally made our stay! The convenience of the apartment to everything was perfect. Kitchen fully equipped to cook up meals with the kids, night markets downstairs to grab a variety of food for all. Shopping trolley to do a Woolies shop and coffee downstairs after an early morning sunrise walk for mum. Really cannot fault anything and totally recommend this place, we’ll be back.
