I find it hard to find good value accommodation in Cairns and often stay at more “luxury” places than I usually choose in other destinations just so I can have a clean safe room. Finally I found a great place that doesn’t cost a fortune and that place is Escape on Lake. Comfortable, spacious and well equipped with microwave, crockery and all my needs met. The air con was fantastic and the windows were appreciated. Excellent central location as well. I will stay here again on future visits to Cairns.

As other reviews have mentioned, the issue with the shower water running out onto the bathroom floor does exist. It is quite a lot of water and unavoidable. Made me want a mop! I bought cheap sponges so I could soak it up and squeeze it down the drain. My only complaint but the positives and good value made up for it. Also be aware, especially solo female travellers, that if you want to sit outdoors there is no outside area on the property so at night time if you sit out the front there can be some unsavoury men walking by and harassing you which is unfortunately a significant issue in Cairns city.

Very close to the main tourist strip, but quieter street -- which is great. Spacious room. No view from my room; opening the curtains would meaning having a mechanic look right at you, but nice enough with sheer curtains. There were some ants, and they sent the housekeeper the next morning. She sprayed, added ant traps, and tidied up, which is great. There's really nothing else you can do about ants in the summer. Very responsive. Great stay!

Room is up a few stairs, there is a queen size bed and plenty of linen, but not much hanging space the kitchen area is small but OK. The property is managed by A1 car rentals their car prices seem good and staff were quite pleasant. The position was good close to the beach and buses. The main shopping centre was about 700 metres away.

Being close to everything.

The location is good and within walking distance to the restaurants. The exterior building itself is not appealing and to be honest I was very nervous about what we were going to find inside. But I was pleasantly surprised because the rooms are large, quiet and spotlessly clean. Absolutely no complaints about the comfort of the rooms.

You so have to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs but it’s not a massive deal.

Fully equipped, modern and clean. The location was on a walking distance to almost everything in town.

Nothing really, everything was great. The view isn’t great but I was outside all time so didn’t matter and kept curtains closed.

It was perfect place that was close to everything. The room was clean and regularly cleaned. Had the essential necessities needed. Highly recommended the place.

It didn’t have onsite park however plenty of st parking available.

The staff at reception and the cleaning lady were exceptionally friendly and professional. The apartment is in an excellent location and what amazing value for money. I can not rate this accommodation highly enough.

I did not like a previous bad review in this place which was misleading and obviously incorrect

Very convenient location - easy walk to Convention centre. Close to cafes, supermarket and shops. Good communication around late checkin. The accommodation was very spacious, comfortable and did exceed my expectations. Great value for money.

A very clean, tidy and spacious room. Very convenient location, walking distance from esplanade, food and shops. Very affordable price! Would highly recommend and book again.

Would have liked a car park however there was parking on the street and no fees. Everyone else who was parked on the street was also for accommodation purposes.

The room was spacious and clean. We didn't meet any staff but checkin and checkout was easy. There is a laundry a couple of doors down the road. It is conveniently located about mid-way between the train station and the waterfront - an easy walk to both.
