The office staff is very friendly and always helpful. The sharehouse is beautiful with clean pool, just behind the Cairns Central and which is very close to the city. Best time in Australia!!! We planned to stay for 4 weeks. But we loved the sharehouse so much, that we ve decided to stay for nearly 3 months! The house was very clean, we had enough privacy, nevertheless it was never boring. Also the Cairns Sharehouse staff was always very, very friendly and helpful. The location of the CSH was also perfect, because everything was in walking distance. (Shopping Center - 2 minutes walk: perfect! ;) The Cairns Sharehouse is really a perfect home-away-from-home! Thanks Guys for that awesome time!

The facility was beautiful with clean pool, just behind the Cairns Central and very close to downtown.
