North Cove Waterfront Suites

Stayed for 6 nights in Unit 6 in June 2024. Booked months ahead and requested an ocean view - had a late night self check in and were given Unit 6 on the ground floor with no view - bit disappointing. Unit was very spacious with living, dining, kitchen, good sized bedroom with walk in robe, bathroom and laundry facilities, large private patio/alfresco. Unit needs a bit of TLC, lots of dents and scratches in the walls and the bathroom door doesn't shut properly. Comfortable bed and good hot shower. Not serviced during stay. Located at the north end of The Esplanade, not far from the airport. There is some noise from aircraft taking off, quietens down at night but starts again around 6am. Approx 2km walk to Cairns main centre along the foreshore walkways. A couple of eating places nearby but most are in Cairns CBD. Secure car parking in underground carpark. Limited reception hours. Reasonable value for money.

We booked this apartment for a family holiday for 4 people. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment which had plenty of space, air con in each room and living room, and was stocked with all the amenities that a family would need such as a dishwasher, dryer, etc. The apartment is about a 30 minute walk from the main area of Cairns so we needed to catch an Uber each time which wasn’t ideal. The reception hours are also limited to working hours each day. We did have an issue with a shower handle coming off it’s hinge and had to wait until morning to have this fixed. We could also hear people walking up and down as the complex isn’t very sound proofed. There was a clean accessible pool which we also used. There was a clean bbq space too which would be useful for family gatherings. Overall, we had a generally enjoyable stay but would consider staying somewhere closer to the main area if we were to visit again.

We booked a 2 bedroom apartment for 10 nights and it was very spacious, clean and had all the amenities we needed. Arriving out of office hours we were well informed of the procedures and directions to our underground parking spot. The linen and towels were changed on day 6. We had a level 3 apartment which over looked the esplanade and had obscured water views. Dustin was very helpful and also provided us with discount vouchers to the Aquarium and Hartley's Crocodile Farm. It is close to the airport, but with minimal air traffic, not really an issue. When back in Cairns I would definitely stay here again.
