Sea Change Beachfront Apartments (Cairns, Australia)

Reviewers rave about this apartment complex's Trinity-Bay location. The photogenic Coral Sea coastline provides the perfect view for day-dreamers. Guests confirm that a bakery, grocery stores, restaurants and bars can be reached within easy walking distance. Excursions to Cairns' attractions can be arranged by staff.

Travellers adore these luxurious five-star apartments with furnished patios and ocean views. The spacious one- to four-bedroom units impress with tastefully designed living/dining room and a fully-equipped kitchenette with dishwasher and washing machine. Large, modern bathrooms with Jacuzzi and fluffy towels are a hit with reviewers.

This stylish spot is loved for its outdoor facilities set in beautiful landscaped gardens. The large outdoor pool with hot tub makes a mostly positive impression on reviewers, as does the decking with comfy loungers set amongst plants and objet d'art, while poolside barbeque grills keep foodies happy.

This self-catering accommodation comes with a once-weekly housekeeping visit plus one set of clean towels per guest. However, some reviewers weren't happy about having to clean apartments and wash towels in between visits. Other travellers have pointed out that extra cleaning/towels can be arranged for a small fee.

Though the majority of reviews confirm a high standard of customer service was received at this residence, a few reviewers have taken umbrage with the manager, who is described as a stickler for rules, particularly in relation to activities taking place in and around the outdoor pool.

Most reviewers find this tranquil vacation spot very welcoming but several parents who stayed with small children felt somewhat left out in the cold. Reviewers have reported their infants receiving a ticking off from staff when not behaving with decorum in public areas of this beachfront complex.
