 | |  |  | Crystal Cascades Holiday Park: Crystal Cascades Holiday Park | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
My most recent visit to Cairns was to see my parents who were staying there for a few weeks on their way up north. My parents are nomads - they are retired and caravan around Australia permanently. So when I visited, it was easiest for me to stay close by - in an onsite cabin at the caravan park they were staying in. Crystal Cascades Holiday Park is a caravan park, with modern onsite cabins & villas and camping facilities. It is located about 10-15 minutes drive from the centre of Cairns in a suburb called Redlynch. The owners, Jenine and Russell are very friendly and will go out of their way to make your stay a comfortable one.
There is a pool and spa, and a large BBQ area. In recent years Russell has hooked up the wireless broadband so you can still check those all important emails during your stay. A short drive from the park you will find some shops where you can pick up groceries, and the local pizza place delivers here too. There are also a few good restaurants and pubs in the area. I stayed in a one bedroom cabin. It was clean and modern, with ensuite bathroom, TV and kitchen facilities, and was certainly a lot nicer than I was expecting.

| | | | Marlin Waters Apartments: Good Value Sea Views | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction: | | | | |
We stayed in a very reasonably priced, well equipped one bedroom apartment, complete with balcony and seaview. It was equipped with air conditioners and fans, full kitchen, TV and comfortable dining and lounge furniture, as well as outdoor table and chairs. Clean and quiet. Low rise building but with a lift . Property included a barbecue, pool (much colder than the sea) and sun lounges and undercover parking.
Apart from the above, a major asset was the service provided by Bruce and Judy, the host/managers. They were able to offer excellent advice, booked tours and hire cars and were always friendly. They even introduced us to the beach plovers that had colonised their car park! As we were walk in customers we were able to negotiate a deal at $130 AUD per night for a one bedroom unit.

| | | | Regency Palms Holiday Apartments: Good after the initial welocme | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction: | | | | |
The Regency Palms Apartments look awfully unwelcoming, albeit that we are arriving nearer midnight. There is no reception as such as we have to telephone the night porter to get her to open up for us. The apartment itself makes up for any bad feeling on arrival – it’s absolutely fabulous! The kitchen is every bit as well equipped as mine at home: washing machine, tumble drier, iron, ironing board, dish washer, oven, hob, fridge, freezer, microwave and lots of pots, pans and crockery. The lounge / diner / kitchen are all open plan in an L-shape with a lovely little balcony overlooking the swimming pool. Two bedrooms and a bathroom complete the layout of the apartment – I’m sure there are flats in London half this size. It’s a great shame we are not staying longer! We feel we have to make the most of such fine facilities, so we walk to the garage shop to stock up on snacks and mixers, and have a drink before going to bed. One of the reasons we booked this particular apartment here in Cairns was to be able to wash all our clothes. Along the way, things have been rinsed out or sent to the laundry in the hotels, but now we have a chance to make sure everything is washed properly. We put a load in last night when we went to bed and again this morning before going out, and we still have more dirties to go in while we go shopping. The receptionist gives us a lift to a huge shopping mall. With such a magnificent apartment, we don’t feel we want to go out to eat lunch, so we buy a few ingredients in the supermarket for a light meal of pastrami rolls. After devouring the rolls, washing and ironing, we check out the Hotmail Account at a nearby Internet café, before catching up on much-needed sleep. The flight is late afternoon and we have paid extra to keep the apartment until departure time, so there is no need to rush.
