Very comfortable, well appointed apartment with lovely views, and in a great location above the Cairns night markets and many eateries. We really appreciated the opportunity to use the washing machine after our adventure to Cape York with Outback Spirits - highly recommend this apartment to those visiting Cairns for a short or longer stay.

Fabulous Cairns

What a fantastic 5 days in Cairns! The location totally made our stay! The convenience of the apartment to everything was perfect. Kitchen fully equipped to cook up meals with the kids, night markets downstairs to grab a variety of food for all. Shopping trolley to do a Woolies shop and coffee downstairs after an early morning sunrise walk for mum. Really cannot fault anything and totally recommend this place, we’ll be back. Thanks Darryl and the BreakFree staff

A great stay in a great location

Being able to walk out the front and the back doors and have a range of dining options was very good. We enjoyed watching the ferris wheel and it's light display. The unit is very comfortable and has everything you will need for a pleasant stay.

Everything you could wish for and more .

Darrell's apartment is a little gem ,located right in the heart of Cairns ,you don't need a car unless you plan on leaving the city itself. Darrell's apartment has it all, clean, self contained which is always a must if staying for at least a week, not to mention the amazing views. So if you want to tick all the box's then I would recommend this beauty, we would definitely stay here again, also very easy instructions to check into the unit as well ,as some times this can be the tricky part but not this one , so simple.

The location is very good with a good view. The unit has everything you’d need for a short stay. However, the interior could use some sprucing up with fresh paint & some pictures especially in the bedroom. The furniture is too big for the space in the living area. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Short stay with everything we wanted

Only two nights but everything was as good as advertised. Great location, beautiful view of ocean, very convenient to restaurants and our barrier reef cruise. We used washing machine and overnight hanging of laundry worked well. Comfortable beds and well equipped. Would highly recommend and hope to use this facility again

Great location

Perfect spot for our 4 days in Cairns. Nice view from balcony and very comfortable bed. Could be 5 stars…just needs a little paint job so the walls don’t look so dingy (our first impression). The apartment is in a great location to walk everywhere. Communication with owner is excellent.
