Boasting pool views, Elysium Private Apartments at Beach Club & Spa offers accommodation with patio, around 200 metres from Palm Cove Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The outdoor swimming pool features a pool bar and fence. The host Stacy was lovely and very attentive. She goes the extra mile to make sure everything was spot on for us. We loved the pool area. The restaurant was excellent. We loved being close to the pool without being overlooking it as being close was noisy. We loved the Palm Cove weather and the local restaurants.

Offering a garden and sea view, Cairns Ocean View Apartment is set in Cairns, 1.9 km from Cairns Station and 2.4 km from Cairns Convention Centre. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The apartment has an outdoor swimming pool with a pool bar, as well as a fitness room and a lift. Views were amazing. Quiet location but a quick and beautiful walk along the esplanade to everything at the harbor. But the best part was all the thoughtful touches, like milk and chocolate in the fridge, plentiful coffee pods, dishwasher and laundry detergent, and more than enough towels for our family of five. No scrimping! The apartment was clean, orderly, and very comfortable. Wi-Fi service was great. We LOVED our stay.
