(1) Air conditioning did not work properly and did not cool down room adequately. There was a sign on air conditioning switch saying to not turn it down below 24 degrees as it would cause water to leak in through ceiling. It appears this is an ongoing issue. (2) Toilet seat would not stay in up position. (3) Bed sagged in the middle if you rolled towards middle of bed. (4) Apartment had musty smell on entering. Bedroom and apartment were adequate size and location of property was reasonable being on the Esplanade.

Ideal base just out of main CBD, flat picturesque walk to heart of Cairns and it's shops and markets. Very easy access to main highways heading north or south. Close to airport. Onsite management available and very personable. We arrived out of hours, clear instructions given to access unit. Kept informed of any maintainance (upgraded balcony lights). Clean pool, barbecue area, well maintained gardens and site.Everything you need for your stay and good welcome pack to get you started.

A bit disappointing
No-frills '80s style apartment, with minimal sign of updates since. Our "ocean view" apartment had a rather limited peep of the sea and the only natural light in the completely internal second bedroom, was from shutters between it and the kitchen. Adequate for a short stay, but it wouldn't be our first choice for a return trip.

Disappointing second visit.
We first stayed here six years ago and rated it quite highly. However, since that time the establishment has not been maintained well. At least three of the rooms were out of action for mould remediation works, and our room was also suffering from the effects of high humidity along the skirting boards, etc. The light switch in the bathroom was in a dangerous state and the towel rail was reattached to the door without worrying about repainting. Even the two sofas had lost all support in the cushions and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in years. Although the location is still great, this places has not aged gracefully and we won't be returning for a third visit.

We stayed here for 9 nights. Great little apartment, kitchen, laundry, drier, ocean views, heated pool, nice grounds, friendly staff, easy walk into town (we like to walk), nice deck for people watching (looking straight at the esplanade), a great place to go and escape the southern cold! We will definitely stay here again!

A lovely and welcoming unit across from the beautiful oceanside park and walking path. (No real beach here.) Very clean, nice clean pool and barbecue area, kitchen was well-equipped, and area was quiet. (We were wondering about the planes being quite close to the airport but we heard none at night.) Check-in and check-out super easy, and management was very responsive to email communication. Our unit was made available to us as soon as we got there, well before check-in time. There are not a lot of restaurants really close by for walking to if you don’t have a car, but if you don’t mind walking or grabbing a taxi/Uber it’s good. Loved the relaxed feeling in this location and could have stayed longer! Would highly recommend. Thank you, Waterfront Terraces!
