Our hosts -- and friends -- Bill and Lyn -- were just terrific. Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable. The rooms and bed were also spacious, and Bill and Lyn gave us heaps of great advice on where to go, what to see, where to go for good food, shopping, sightseeing, and having great experiences. They truly made us feel at home and relaxed. We definitely plan to go again and recommend City Terraces for anyone planning a holiday in Cairns, and/or visiting the Atherton Tablelands, or the incomparable tropical rainforest. THANKS guys! The pleasantries of this vacation we will remember all our

Well-appointed, comfortable, and clean 2-bedroom apartment. Owner/managers are extremely helpful with information about sites of interest, and are happy to book excursions. Grocery shopping, etc only 2 blocks away. Everything is within comfortable walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

The accommodation itself is great, very clean, spacious and comfortable. Have been recommending it to all our friends. We will return when ever in Cairns again.
