Chose Elysium from prior great experience for a long overdue visit to Cairns northern beaches. It's an easy 25 minute drive north from Cairns airport. Conveniently located in Palm Cove (5 minute stroll to south end of Williams Esplanade for the plethora of eateries and sandy beach; Coles supermarket 5 minutes drive away). Stayed in 1 bedroom apartment (108A ) for 5 nights - it's very spacious (open-plan well-equipped kitchen-diner-lounge), separate bedroom with comfy beds, walk-in wardrobes and double shower as well as air-con and fans, and deep covered balcony. It was generally clean, very quiet, had no smells, and was well-maintained. Balcony overlooks roof of adjacent Palm Cove Tavern, but don't worry you won't hear a pipsqueak from them. Our balcony was separated from adjacent apartment by frosted glass partition and be aware that guests are allowed to smoke on their balcony (if that is an issue for you). Sharyon and Stacey at the front desk are a gem, and can provide a wealth of information (office hours M-F 0830-1630; S&S 0830-1200; always someone contactable by phone 24/7 outside of those hours). Pros - secure allocated car parking; lift to all floors Cons - no wall hook or substantial towel rail in bathroom (there's a flimsy tea towel type holder); totally impractical vanity basin tap spout; have to take all your rubbish to the rubbish chute at the end of your stay or else you'll incur extra charges (a first for me at a serviced apartment, but they do provide written notice of this at check-in). Overall, it was a great stay and suited our needs as we were away from the apartment most of the day. Definitely will return if we are visiting the area once more.
