Lovely apartment. Spacious, clean and quiet building. Nice view over the harbour and town. Great location, easy walking distance to the harbour and town. There are multiple restaurants very close by including some accessible in the same building. Only negatives were the air con is loud and didn't always seem to work in the bedroom. It would have been useful to be informed about the garbage rooms. We checked in after the office had closed but it was simple, a passcode was emailed to us to open the lockbox which contained the keys and check in info. Would stay here again.

A very enjoyable and comfortable stay. Check-in was easy and staff very helpful. Room was exactly as advertised with harbour views from room/balcony. Shower had excellent water pressure, TV was huge, comfortable bed (although a little on the soft side for us/ could do with an extra topper since it was 2 king singles put together to make one large bed). Room was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay including pool/beach towels. We look forward to our next visit and stay.

We spent a week at CPA. It was a proper home from home. A harbour view room. Great to watch the boats come in and out. Great access to the shops and many places to eat and drink in Cairns. The apartment was spotless and high overall quality. Jo was so helpful throughout our stay. It was the perfect stay. Thank you to all at CPA

Property was very nice - nice building, great location comfortable - It was nice to have a kitchen to make breakfast before the excursions. The only negative was I couldn't get the TV in the living room to work, but I didn't report this since we didn't have much time to watch TV anyway and the bedroom TV was fine.

Really beautiful apartment. Plenty of room and great location! Really central and close to everything. We were really able to appreciate the beauty of Cairns. The only downside was a loud noise though the night, we think it might have been the plumbing and people using showers. It was really loud and would wake us up.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit. The unit was very spacious and nice. The only issue was the water condensation on the windows. They were mostly wet the whole time. Not sure if that was due to extreme hot weather outside and AC inside the unit. The views were lovely and the balcony was quite large to sit outside and enjoy the views.
