Holloways Beach short stay

2 Day R&R stay en route to Brisbane is in an ideal location for the beautiful beach, great pool at the property. Our apartment was spotlessly clean although the 3 flights of stairs with our luggage was a bit of a pain. Easy late check in and Ruby the next day at the desk was super helpful. WiFi was awful but they are upgrading it and some smells from other people’s cooking but no real complaints. A 10am check out was a bit too early for us compared to other properties like this we use.

Somewhat Pleasant

Appreciated the early check that was great. I wouldn’t call the place a resort more a complex with some lovely apartments in desperate need of major maintenance it could be a beautiful place apartments owned individually and run by hotel management. Cleanliness was not the best and things were falling apart or not working in the apartment. One side of couch had a horrible smell wasn’t nice to sit there. No lifts so we were glad we were on the bottom floor even though we paid extra for an ocean view that really as t there. Pool area was lovely our little girl loved it. Overall it was good just in need of some TlC. Perth WA

Floors were bit sticky. Property is way far from main area in Cairns. Try to find something closer to downtown even if you have a car. No front desk service after 5:00p.m. Best part about the property is a privacy. You have a bedroom. And a sofa couch in main room area along with kitchen. Just one bathroom. So not at all a bed choice if you are a family of 4 and needs more space as long as you are ok to drive.

The place was beautiful as it had an amazing garden which had a plethora of plant life that added to the peaceful atmosphere. The pool was clean and well maintained. The beach was opposite the property which was convenient. The room furnishing was old and the bathroom could use an upgrade. We stayed in the premium garden facing room. But overall it was a good stay.

Good location, right on beach. Unfortunately very noisy with trucks loaded with rocks coming past every 10 mins due to beach erosion work. Should calm down once job complete. Unit could do with a freshen up. No oven or d/w but rest of kichen ok. Management very good.

Property was clean and quiet overlooking the pool. Kitchen was well stocked with all facilities needed except an oven. King size bed was like sleeping on the floor but I guess that would be the case as we are used to sleeping on a waterbed.

While property was close to waterfront, there was not really much to see or do at Holloways Beach, compared to more northern beaches. Central to many ‘sights’ if i you have you our own car.

Clean, comfortable accommodation. Good bed. Reasonably equipped kitchenette - microwave kettle and stove top , no oven, plenty of utensils. Easy parking. Friendly helpful staff who ensured we got adjacent lower level units to suit older guest. Just across road from beach, so good location if that’s what you want. Didn’t use pool but it looked lovely. Would stay again if I needed to be in this location.

Overnight stop

We were only there for a quick place to crash before transferring to another hotel near our final destination so we probablyvreally only spent about 12 hours there in total but it was very nice and comfortable with everything you would need for a small family or two couples. Had a beautiful large spanning balcony with seating and a a table as well with views down to the nearby beach. The pool area was welcoming and the gardens throughout were gorgeous! Not much tobdo around within walking distance other than a liquor store and Code which was avery delicious restaurant and bar about 2 blocks away. The guidebook for guests was a little alarming as they stated many things about havong a safe travel making it appear that the area wasnt safe at night. However we walked around and didnt understand the reasoning behing it. Overall it was perfect and i wish we had more time to spend there.
