The Manager gave a warm welcome and shared knowledge of the area and restaurants. The apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed. It is a short drive into town and close to some activities and lovely waterfront.

Great service and a fantastic location! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. The attention to detail and friendliness really stood out. The location couldn’t be better – close to everything and with a wonderful atmosphere that makes you feel instantly comfortable.Highly recommend this place to everyone!

What a wonderful place to stay! From the moment we were greeted by the lovely coupe at reception they were more than helpful with our stay! We booked 4 night but need longer and they were more then accommodating with us, the cleaners were wonderful and helped with everything I needed (and I needed quite abit) the place was clean and everyone staying in the building was nice. Safety of my family is number 1 and with the lovely help from Royce and Jenny I was made aware of the dos and don’t while on my stay here in cairns we had a hire car in the car park the was also safe during this time! I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else honestly

I had a great experience staying at the Reef Gateway Apartments at 239 Lake St. Cairns North. We had some friends coming to stay and thought it would be nice to stay somewhere a bit roomier than our apartment so we gotbonline and booked a 2 bedroom apartment, it was fantastic from the time we got there to the time we left we had such a good time. The staff were fantastic. The lady and gentleman in the office were so helpful and easy to deal with. The cleanliness of the apartment was amazing thanks to the awesome cleaning ladies, and the pool and BBQ area were fantastic. Besides the apartments being so good the location is perfect we were out of the busy part of town but we were close to the hospital, muddies for the kids, they loved it. There are a lot of choices of restaurants or takeaway if you don't feel like cooking, but in saying that, the well stocked kitchen was so good to do some home cooking as well. We can all say we really enjoyed our time with our friends and highly recommend Reef Gateway Apartments to anyone needing a great place to stay in Cairns.

Stayed for 4 nights. Lovely clean 2 bed apartment. Had everything we needed. Royce was extremely helpful. We needed help with the WiFi and washing machine. Nothing too much trouble for him or any of the staff. He recommended a gorgeous Indian restaurant nearby. Lovely pool and seating area. It's a bit of a walk from the centre of Cairns ( about 20 mins). But is an enjoyable walk along the promenade

This place is terrible. It is located right next to the hospital and has many vagrants lying around outside and we were greeted by a bunch of people clearly intoxicated. They were lying all over the ground with open bottles of alcohol, it appeared some of them live at this place. We spoke with the managers via the phone (they weren't on site) and there were not helpful at all. I do not recommend staying here.
