I flew into Cairns a few days early before joining a tour group. While Escape On Lake is small compared to the more notable accommodation, it is good value. Checkin was easy, and despite missed messages by both myself and the hotel, they had the room ready by lunchtime. Very welcoming after an early morning flight! The room was spacious with good facilities including a microwave for basic cooking needs. The main city centre of Cairns is one block down the street, so quite easy to walk around exploring then back to the hotel. All in all, good value

Not right for us.
Not so good for seniors as no lift. Stairs steep and raisers short plus one huge step at the bottom. Night light only comes on when you reach the top. Beds not ever made up by housekeeping. Only one chair at the table when booked for 2. Air con turned off by owners repeatedly so hot and stuffy upon return. Location excellent though.large room, hot shower. Beds good too

Overall the property was well placed and in good condition. I sould suggest the following to improve tbe stay: 1) need to supply 2 x face washers. The room only came with 1 face washer! 2) need to supply 3 bath towels , not just 2 for people with long hair requiring a hair towel. 3) need to have additional hanging rails in the bathroom. Currently there is no where to hang we beach towels , swimmers etc.

Cute accommodations
Very spacious, convenient location, felt safe. This was my very first solo trip out of the country and I loved Cairns. Even though there was no elevator, it was only a 2- story building. My room faced the street but it was fairly quiet(except for the occasional homeless person yelling out in the street). The apartment had everything I needed and the Woolworth was close by. Even though there's no reception desk, I was able to get ahold of staff when I accidentally left my key in the room.

The place is very convenient but there are people each night making noise either talking, singing, and screaming. Ms. Rosa was very helpful for assisting us for the local tours. I will give her a 5 stars
