Southern Cross Atrium Apartments
The apartment has no elevator. We stayed at 3rd floor and was hard to carry heavy luggage to it. The AC is not cool at all. I don't recommend the 3rd floor living especially during the hot summer due to AC inefficiency.

Cairns Coconut Holiday Resort
Great for kids, clean, basic necessities included. Staff very friendly. Overall a great stay. Only downside was wifi wasn’t great and I didn’t have very good phone reception, might have just been our spot in the park.
