“The proximity to Cairns Botanical Gardens is a genuine advantage, setting a tone of relaxed immersion in nature. I see generous spaces and self-catering options suiting families particularly well. Though some may find aspects dated, the extensive lagoon-style pools and tropical gardens ultimately define the experience.”
