“This property stands out for its focus on affordable group accommodations and central Cairns location. While some find it basic, the proximity to transport, shopping, and the Esplanade is undeniably convenient. I think budget-conscious travellers wanting an accessible base for exploring the Great Barrier Reef will find its location an advantage.”
