Apartment was very dated. Mattress was deeply indented on one side so was uncomfortable.

Poor water pressure in bathroom. Could do with rail to assist out of spa bath. Poor cooking pans, need upgrade.
Front Door very hard to open. Good laundry facilities. Floors not very clean. Wi fi c unable to connect last 2 days. Kitchen areas need clean. Bed was small but the sheets were so big.

I loved the layout of the property. The property requires renovation including the balcony. The paint is terrible.

We were impressed by the apartment set up. Kitchen set up well, generous wardrobes with plenty of hangers. The outlook on to the Esplanade was lovely.

The room was very nice but that's where the good part ends. The reception people are very hard to contact. We had to sit in the car in the rain for 1 hour before we could check in...why do they need a 2 hour lunch? They don't keep the posted hours so we were unable to get pool towels or even enter the pool area...had to wash our bath towels ourselves. Parking was very tight- we were given the wrong spot for our whole stay. I'd recommend somewhere else

Right on the esplanade access, arriving after hours was super easy to get in. No complaints!

Unit was small but clean and tidy. Specifically rang after making booking to advise required twin beds and advised no problem but arrived to find 1 bed but they did make up a room with twin beds.The room was on the Water Street frontage and with a new construction opposite the noise of trucks etc started before 5am. Realise this is not the fault of resort but best to stay away from street front units.TV hardly worked as WIFI kept dropping out even on Free to air TV.

Very dirty patio area. Kitchen very basic. Washing machine and dryer shoved into bathroom. Bed was comfortable and well made. Man on reception was very polite and helpful.

5.0
The apartment is big with everything you need. Good in value and would be greater if a proper duvet (instead of a blanket) is provided.
5.0
The apartment is located at the quiet end of the Esplanade. The main tourist area is about half an hour walk away, however, here are cafes nearby. It is a nice walk in the evenings while it is cooler.
The hotel has a nice sized pool which has shade. Overall, it is a nice place to stay. Thank you.

Apartment was great. Lovely outlook over the Esplanade. Plane noise starts at 6am. Office opens at 2pm so no point in trying to nab an early check in. But the apartment had everything needed for an enjoyable stay.

Unit was very spacious bed was comfy and staff welcoming.
There was loud music every day we were there and the lounge was uncomfortable and could do with an upgrade.
3.0
Could not find disabled access to Reception area.Lucky I was not on my own.
Washer and dryer was handy.
Problem Washer needs to be balanced as it moved, shook and made a loud noise when spinning.As it is a front end load machine I could not stop it.Hope I didn't upset the people above me.
3.0
The unit was not clean; the screens and frames were dirty and some had holes and poor fitting. The book in could not be accessed until 2.00pm as the reception was closed. Car park spacing was tight and overall the location was noisy.

Nice apartment.
4.0
Comfortable apartment with a full kitchen, which suited our needs. With the glass doors open at night to get natural airflow, we were often kept awake by music or noise from other apartments. The complex is also not far from the end of the airport runway, with the first plane taking off before 6am, so sleep was a little challenging.
Although there is an elevator that goes to all apartments, there are about 8 steps at the front of the complex that need to be navigated to get to the elevator or you have to enter through the car park.
We opted not to hire a car due to cost. The complex is located only a short Uber ride from downtown Cairns.
4.0
Good location and good sized apartment. We were in a ground floor apartment so no view and not a lot of natural light, but that was ok as we didn't spend a lot of time there during the day.
A good renovation would make this apartment great.

Undercover parking was great and felt very secure. Pool was great. Next time i stay i will request a beach view as we had a little courtyard garden which was still nice but...

Apartment was spacious and reasonably comfortable. Good amenities, WiFi good, reasonable location (a car would be necessary to access shops and eateries), beds were very comfortable, free secure parking. Overall, the apartment was a a bit disappointing in its presentation. There was mould in the bathrooms, bathtub was dirty looking, soft furnishings were grubby (need to be deep cleaned or replaced), the TV is a bit dated (doesn't have all the options most people expect these days). Soundproofing from the apartment above is not adequate, loud noises from people above could be constantly heard. View from the apartment (#11) not very nice - car park or back of apartement was the choices.

Clean & tidy, large enough to fit a big family. Basic sugar, tea, coffee there. no salt/pepper.
Great big balcony with outdoor seating

The address is given as The Esplanade, but a notice on the gate says that check on is Lake street (around the corner). Fortunately the cab driver hadn't driven off and re-loaded our bags and took us around.
Two (short) flights if steep steps to negotiate with luggage to check in and then get to room is not a good start.
Okay after that as we used a different entry.
The apartment was clean but very dated. Seating not very comfortable. Beds not bad. Shower excellent.
The information book advised that our rubbish had to be taken down to the bin in the basement car park or we'd be charged $50.
Probably wouldnt t stay there again - we are a senior couple without a car and it's a long walk to facilities, although the waterfront location is good as was the view from the balcony.

I read the reviews for this property on Trip Advisor before booking and thought all would be good given the positive reviews. Can't fault the lovely pool area and grounds which are well maintained. The BBQ's were handy for a bit of home cooking in the evening. The layout of the one bedroom apartment was also good with the balcony a lovely place to sit to enjoy the afternoon sun. The bed was comfy. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking utensils and pots. Having access to a washer and drier was also great during our stay. But this is where the praise stops. Our flight from Brisbane was changed by Qantas and we arrived at the complex at 12.30pm. As as reception is closed from 12-2pm with no way of leaving our luggage securely or contacting reception we had to sit and wait for 90 minutes. Whenn reception did open we were then told your apartment is not ready. I appreciate the email signature from North Cove does say they are closed between 12-2 but your arrival time is something to bear in mind when booking. The apartment we were allocated was shabby and long overdue for a refurbishment. There were stains on the carpet, black mould in the bathroom and where the towel holder had been moved the original holes had been filled but not painted. The ceiling in the bedroom also had various marks over it, as did the bedroom walls. The apartment was at the rear of the complex on Lake Street which has continuous traffic.
