We had a great wonderful time at the Cairns Aquarius. We had a 3 bedroom apartment. It was fully furnished with a fully equipped kitchen and was very spacious and bright. It is close to the ESplanade and great restaurants. The checkin and checkout process was smooth and the manager was available by email for a small issue we had.

The beautiful vista, sunrise and sunset, the nearby Boardwalk, city lights, views and proximity to everything as well as the RSL that have great food at reasonable prices, next door. Beds were lovely and comfortable and quiet, once the doors to the patio were closed. It was a perfect accommodation for us.
