Description of the Property - Vacation Apartment Cairns, Queensland

Affordable Cairns accommodation does not come any better than Grosvenor In Cairns. Whether visiting Cairns on business or to enjoy a holiday and take in the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage listed rainforests, Grosvenor in Cairns is an ideal accommodation choice.

Unlike some hotel/motels complexes, we are not pretentious enough to think that you are coming to Cairns just to stay at our apartment complex. We are very mindful that you are coming to Cairns to have a holiday and experience all that the Cairns region has to offer. At Grosvenor in Cairns we believe that it is our primary role to provide you with spacious, comfortable, well appointed and above all clean accommodation that you can use as a base for your holiday adventure, all at a reasonable price. In addition, our role is to be as flexible with things like check in / check out times as is possible and to do everything we can to provide you with the facilities and information to make the most of your experience whilst in Cairns.

The property, built in 1997, features timeless architecture in a tropical garden setting and is ideally situated just off the northern approach to the city from Cairns International Airport and only minutes from the bustling Cairns city heart.

One of the facilities of our complex which you will love is the Solar Heated Pool with its own water feature and SPA. The pool area also has an undercover BBQ/meals area and plenty of outdoor furniture as well as shower and toilet facilities.

Free underground parking (up to 2.1 height) is provided for our guests who have a motor vehicle and we have security access to the building after 7.00 pm. Parking is also available on site for vehicles with a height greater than 2.1 meters.

A full Tour desk is provided with information on all day tours available in Cairns and the experienced on-site managers (Anne & Brian) can give you plenty of advice on what the various tours offer and can also make any bookings you require at 'no cost to you'. They can also put together accommodation + tour packages for you to cater for your individual tastes. There are tours that involve white water rafting, hot air ballooning, horse riding, bungijumping, 4 wheel drive coach tours to the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation area, Reef tours that include an introductory scuba dive, helicopter or light plane scenic flights or the slower paced tours thorough the tablelands taking in various waterfalls and rainforest attractions.

Cruising Car Rentals is located 200 meters away and a hire car can be arranged from as little as $55 per day for a hire period of between 1 and 3 days. A budget 2 door vehicle would cost from $55 per day or an economy 4 door vehicle would cost from $65 per day, or a medium sized vehicle would cost from $75 per day. Hire costs include insurance and unlimited kilometres. The standard insurance excess is $1,750 but for an extra payment of $15 per day the excess is reduced to $385.

Grosvenor in Cairns is located on the Corner of Grove Street and McLeod Street. A very good Indian restaurant (Paradise of India) is located immediately next door and the famous 'Cock & Bull' English style pub/tavern is located only 250 meters away. Also very close (within 200 meters) are takeaway food shops (2 pizza shops, a kebab shop, a Chinese takeaway shop, two fish and chip shops), a 24 hour convenience store as well as an IGA supermarket (open until 11 pm), a discount liquor store, a bakery and a delicatessen. It is only a 20 minutes walk to Cairns Central Shopping Center or 10 minutes to the Esplanade on Trinity Inlet.
