Great little hideaway and location. Feels safe despite the casino which stays open late. Thought it a bit pricy for the location.

ケアンズの中心街まで車で約15分程度の距離。（Uberで10ドル程度）徒歩15分ほど歩いたところにショッピングモール、マクドナルド、KFCがある。このエリアには観光客は見かけない。モーテルタイプのホテルで、部屋内にはキッチン、電子レンジがあり、3LDK。ダブルベッド、セミダブル、シングルベッド２つあり、最大6人はベッドにつけそう。レセプションは24時間対応ではなく、朝から夕方までしか開いていないので、チェックインの時間は要注意。チェックアウトは入口ポストに鍵を返せばOKなので、早朝、レセプションに人がいなくてもチェックアウトできる。部屋は比較的きれい。広さも上述のとおり広い。
