Apartment was excellent. The resort hot tub was unfortunately not hot - this would be great if they could heat it.
Thanks for a great holiday

The microwave did not work despite downloading the instructions which was a bit annoying and the bathroom flooded easily - also the lounge needs to be updated as it is stained and dirty
Looking at other peoples photos and reviews of different rooms in the resort, I think it was the best of the bunch however I would not recommend to book here again if you were a group due to the layout of the apartment and the resort facilities.
The apartment is marketed as a 2 bed apartment but it’s more like 1 bed + study. The second bedroom is accessed via frosted sliding doors and has bifold screens from the main room to the second room. We managed to fit 2 portacots in the second room but I couldn’t imagine having older kids or even sharing with another couple there, you can hear everything. The apartment itself was nice, well maintained and had nice little touches (ie complimentary car, laundry powder) which was appreciated. The checkin was wonderful, they helped us to our room with all our luggage. The resort itself however is very tired. The pool deck was being refurbished while we were there so half of it was closed off. I would t have booked had I known the works were taking place. The pool was not heated. The resort interior looks tired. The tenancies down the bottom are half empty. This place would have been amazing 20 years ago! Next time I would book at a resort which had ordering food/drink accessible at the pool. Location was great, on the main strip right across from the beach and close to restaurants.

About the host
Hosted by Reservations Team
At Cozie Homes, we understand owners’ needs because of our own personal experiences. We started out on Airbnb with a single room in our own house. Our success with this single room inspired us to let an entire floor, offering a cozie, self-contained apartment in our Queenslander. This eventually became two apartments, and we then spent a couple of years creating the perfect formula for maximising bookings and customer satisfaction.
A year later, we bought a second property and repeated the formula, to great success. Now, a few years down the line, we are a fully licensed real estate agency with a plethora of awesome properties, which we manage on behalf of their owners. Each one unique in its own way, sympathetically handled to reflect the style and personality of the owner.
With a strong background in hospitality and Cairns-focussed tourism, we really do have what it takes to make your guests feel welcome and happy during their stay. Our attentive, professional approach generates regular 5 star reviews to maximise ongoing revenue for you.
