“This property strikes me as a practical choice, especially given its prime location in Cairns' CBD; walking to the Esplanade is a breeze. The apartments, from what I gather, are generously sized, making it suitable for longer stays. I also noticed they arrange tours, which is a definite plus for exploring the reef.”
