Self catering apartments are the most popular choice of holiday accommodation in the Far North. They offer the flexibility to be able to self cater, provide everything you need for a home away from home, plus the extra space allows you to kick back and chill out in the tropics. Apartments are ideal for longer stays, and most are willing to offer excellent rates for weekly stays of 7 nights or more. Onsite facilities usually include undercover parking, swimming pool, and shared BBQ facilities.

Families with young children generally prefer to stay in Cairns holiday apartments as they provide fully equipped laundry and kitchen facilities and seperate bedrooms, lounge and kitchen areas and a balcony.  Cairns apartments are generally located with a managed small complex and always have a swimming pool as well as other facilities.

As always, you will get what you pay for.  Expect to pay from $160/night for a Two bedroom apartment within Cairns within walking distance to the city and at a 3 star rating.  Expect to pay from $230/night for an upmarket esplanade Two bedroom apartment.

Holiday apartments are like a home away from home.

It is important to note that unless otherwise specified, apartments are generally serviced weekly. This enables Cairns apartment complexes to keep their prices affordable.  If you require a daily service, it is important to specify that at the time of booking.
