The property features garden views and is 2 km from Cairns Convention Centre and 800 metres from The Cairns Civic Theater. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. We stayed 2 nights, one before our dive trip and one after. Divers den shop was literally 2 doors down. The place is super quiet, really clean. The room with and the room without private bathroom were equally nice. The breakfast was a nice touch! Host was accommodating as well, allowed us to leave our luggage and check out a little later because one of us had a pain flair up. Free laundry was also great. The ceiling fans everywhere help move the humid air around and the AC in the rooms were nice. We are at a Chinese Cafe nearby that was friendly and pretty good food. McDonald's is really close. Thank you so much!
