Il Palazzo Cairns

Reviewed By Jennifer C

What a very disappointing end to a perfect 3 weeks of travel in FNQ and staying in some amazing places. Il Palazzo unfortunately was not one of them. Our check in process on Easter Monday was difficult with no staff on duty and an intercom outside service that kept cutting out.Whilst centrally located, the hotel is in need of a huge revamp in their rooms. Our 1 bedroom apartment, on the 1st floor, was tucked away in the corner with a dirty synthetic grassed area for the outdoor setting. We needed the lights on all the time.The kitchen was tiny, cupboards old and difficult to close and inadequate cooking facilities for an advertised "fully equipped kitchen." There was one power point for the kitchen. The lounge room was quite large but with an extremely small TV. The bathroom had no window, no fan, the toilet seat was broken and the power point had the screws coming away from the wall. The bedroom also had no opening window, one up high but didn't open and was internal anyway. There was no fan and no air con in the room making it very unpleasant. The hotel has a very good pool area but the BBQ had certainly not been cleaned. The internal open areas of the pool were quite lovely and very Italian. I expected a lot better and would not recommend this hotel in its present state.

Good Accomodation- Centrally Located

Room was very nice- swimming pool outside the back door. Bistro at venue was quite good with a comprehensive menu which changed every few days. The bonus was the courtesy bus which was available to take people to other restaraunts in the neighbourhood. There is also a local taxi service.

Good value for money for a 2/3 star. Big effort going into cleanliness, more work to do but going up in quality, rather than down. Pool was fun! If you’ve got a car, easy access to City. Short walk to well ranked Smith St cafe. Free washer/dryer.

We didn't make it further than out the front of the tavern tonight. We like this pub, have no other complaints, but they need to stick by what they advertise. We confirmed with them by phone that dinner orders were to be in by 7.30. Then the group of us drove out to the pub for dinner despite it being a miserable rainy night. We were around the corner from them at 28 past 7 ("current Brisbane time"), and rang them. I was told "too late to order - it's 7.31". It wasn't. Check your time and clocks guys!! It does matter. Get it right! We took off, tried another local restaurant and a takeaway, but because of the trip that we took to the Tavern in good faith, it was too late for the other food outlets. Thanks guys, it's bad business when you stuff up a local group's night out.

Reviewed By inggep

Cairns Esplanade is just in front, so the place is good for exploring the area. Its beside the Cairns Hospital, so not ideal if one wants a quiet place. The place provided us with an affordable place to sleep. Other than that, you get what you pay for.

Atherton Blue Gum B & B

Atherton Blue Gum B&B is a home-away-from home, a great place to base yourself. Wake to a chorus of native bird life and enjoy breakfast served on the upper deck. The views are magnificent, looking down on Atherton township which is nestled in an emerald valley. The mist enshrouded mountains, with tropical sunlight glistening on their exposed peaks in the morning, is a delight to behold.

Pleasant stay

Reviewed By jkb9mb

Pleasant - nice and quiet - our first b&b experience. Booking was nice and easy - all instructions were nice and clear. We were lucky and had some nice guests who were nice and quiet as their room was beside us and shared a common area. This made our first b&b experience pleasant.

We stayed at Dawn’s for 3 days in what was an idyllic tropical lodge. I can’t rate her highly enough. Everywhere was spotless, the communal lounge very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The breakfasts were superb and hot. Will definitely stay there again. we didn’t get to use the beautiful pool due to the rain

Large spacious apartments

Reviewed By Grandview301

After a number of nights driving north from Melbourne, this spacious and comfortable apartment was welcomed. Our stay coincided with 185mm rain falling on the first night. Needless to stay sunshine and glorious walks along the beach weren't going to happen. Managed to catch up with washing/drying with in room amenities and appreciated the undercover car park too. Mark and Leanne are discreet, friendly hosts, never far away to help when required.
