Receptive and helpful management. It is conveniently accessible to the Esplanade, Shopping area and Recreation facilities (including Cairns Aquarium). The quietness of the places is a plus. Either by cab or by foot, most places can be reached with a certain degree of ease. The ease or efficiency of getting booked in as well as checking out is commendable. The cost is also very affordable, relatively. It is good for short-stay holiday makers who are seeking affordable accommodation.

Love the location it's near to everything just like how we expected. Also it's was a great experience with my family for the first time taking a little holiday and showing them the adventure of staying at the motel and being in the city especially for my kids which was there first time traveling. Just like we picture it thank you very much for you hospitality and making it very comfortable for us and many more. Specifically for my autistic son which he loved the accommodation and it's was very safe and secure. Thank you very much

Beautiful and spacious accomodation, perfect for families. All staff were accomodating and helpful & the pools were fantastic. The additional bonus of having both McKenzie’s cafè & a Taste of Thai on-site makes this holiday rental a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The room was very clean and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Parking is provided at the front of the rooms. It was very affordable and perfect for our overnight stay. The room provided all the essentials we needed. The Edge Hill Tavern also provided great food and friendly service with discounted drinks and dinner for the residents staying in the accomodation. We definitely recommend staying there. We attended a band at the Tavern, so it provided the perfect accommodation and met all the criteria. 😃😃😃

This is one of the best "Hostels" I have been to. Even when I arrived after check-in hours there was a lovely Lady there to welcome me and check me in. The owner I met the next day was really friendly and considerate. The kitchen and bathrooms where exceptionally clean! I would definitely recommend this place especially for travellers who like to stay at budget friendly accommodations but still like to sit and chill in a quiet corner under the trees every now and then. Close to the railway and bus station!
