Amazing property, large and spacious inside with a very large outdoor patio. Great location for walking around Carins.

Hi Karl,
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We am so glad you enjoyed the spacious layout and the large outdoor patio, and we love that you found it easy to explore Cairns on foot from the location. We would be delighted to welcome you back again.
Warm regards,
The Boutique Collection Team
This is a beautiful place with a huge private outdoor area. We wish we had longer to stay and enjoy this place and all it had to offer. I would highly recommend.
On arrival, the Wi-Fi was not working so we had to reboot the system, the floors were so dirty that taking off your shoes and walking barefoot in the apartment made our feet black within minutes, there was mould on the stainless steel sink cover, dirt and empty pack of cigarettes under the outdoor furniture, scum around the jacuzzi edges, and the ice maker did not work for the entire stay despite following up and not getting anyone to come in and fixInstead of relaxing during a special family celebration, we were dealing with cleanliness and maintenance issues. No refund of cleaning fees was offered even after reaching out to them nicely!Beautiful location and stunning views, exactly as advertised. Unfortunately, the apartment did not meet the standard expected of a “luxury” stay, but disappointing attention to cleanliness and detail

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations, especially during such an important family occasion. Cleanliness and maintenance are priorities for us, and we regret that you felt these standards were not upheld.
We do wish to note that we were not contacted during your stay regarding these issues. Had we been made aware, we would have arranged for our team to address them promptly so you could fully enjoy your time in the property.
It is also important to mention that this review was submitted after compensation was declined. While we understand your disappointment, we believe it is fair to clarify this context for future guests.
We are glad you enjoyed the location and views, and we will continue working with our cleaning and maintenance teams to ensure the property reflects the luxury experience we aim to provide.
Warm regards,
The Boutique Team
