10/10 Exceptional

We’d not fully realised just how close to the esplanade and the whole range of restaurants and shops immediately on our doorstep. We were there a week and hired a car dior a couple of days choosing Europcar because their vehicles were parked in the hotel carpark - so no parking fees - guaranteed parking after a day trip and drop off at the airport - so no transfers either. Staff were welcoming and friendly. The garden room we rented was perfect for us…with an adequate kitchen ann a bbq in the garden. Would fully recommend this place.

The BreakFree Cairns boasts some amazing staff, central location and an aging building with odd unit design. Our experience had us "jokingly" terming it the BreakDown Royal Harbour. In hindsight, we feel we ought to have been partially refunded for the inconveniences. On the positive side Central location *Comfy beds *Clean *Excellent staff, mostly. One man (Valter) was 5 star... hope you get him for service! He's incredible. *Spacious lounge area, although no powerpoints or lamps near sofa for reading at night. *Lovely gardens and pool. *Book share area. It may have been a one off, but unfortunately our 9 night stay wasn't smooth at all. The room was more suited to the younger person or a couple, not two more mature ladies. * Unfortunately, we had no cold water on our first day. This was rectified. * The spa with shower was difficult to get into and also very slippery so we were given a non slip mat. * The bathroom was not really suitable for twin share travellers and better for couples as it had only glass petitions and no privacy from the outside world. We were on the ground floor. * The washing machine broke down completely. * Bedroom was extremely small, had no natural light and lacked privacy and had no room for two suitcases. * Kitchen was pretty but impractical -no dishwasher, no pantry space, no oven, had to ask for basics like salad bowls etc Things were rectified by the staff, but our good experiences at the Breakfree were few. Location was great!

Excellent location within walking distance to wide variety of dining options. On the Esplanade with easy access to all facilities. The apartment was quite basic, windowless bedroom with a ceiling fan, cooking facilities minimal and basic, no dishwasher, old microwave. No dining table, only a very old table and chairs on the balcony, and stools at the kitchen bench. Uncomfortable sofa. Staff very helpful, informative and friendly. Parking available on site

Top location
Cant beat the location. Reception staff super helpful and friendly. Room 802 totally renovated to high quality. But no wifi available as yet which meant no smart tv . Only a minor problem though. This is the second stay at this property and will definitely book there again.

Property is in ideal area for scuba diving and snorkeling. Lots of dining options nearby… walking distance…swimming lagoon very close to property is amazing!!! The only negatives to staying here are it doesn’t have daily cleaning and towel replacement. Washing machine in kitchen with clothes line on balcony is a big plus!

We enjoyed our stay. The location was wonderful. Our room was on 6th floor and had terrific views. The room was spacious and comfortable. The shower is over the bath which isn’t ideal and the lighting in the bathroom is pretty ordinary however all in all we would stay again and would recommend to others.
