“Nestled beside Cairns Botanical Gardens, the resort features lagoon-style pools and self-contained apartments, creating a relaxing tropical vibe; however, some may find certain aspects a bit dated. With spacious accommodations and extensive grounds, it's especially suited for families seeking a laid-back getaway with self-catering options and a touch of nature. A solid choice for a Cairns holiday.”
