“The location strikes a smart balance, central to the Wharf area's bustle yet surprisingly quiet. Apartments are well-equipped, even down to the coffee machine, and those balconies offer city views that stretch to distant mountains. It seems a particularly solid choice for a Cairns stay, especially given the proximity to both the convention center and riverside restaurants.”
