CHECKING IN & CHECKING OUT Check-in time – 2pm Checkout time – 10am Our priority is to provide a clean and comfortable property for our guests to stay. A thorough clean is performed between guests, and to maintain the standard we need to have the checkout time at 10am and the check-in time as 2pm. We provide self check-in with a lockbox onsite – meaning you can arrive at any time. We do not live onsite or meet you at check-in/checkout time, however we are never far away and are always contactable via the Airbnb messenger service for your stay. We do require your email address for this apartment, as we have created a PDF guide to send which assists with the self check-in process. Details of the property and how to access the lock box will be sent to you on the day of your arrival after 10am. You will be provided with two sets of keys for your stay, details of this are on the PDF we send. Fees will apply if both sets are not returned at the end of the stay.

COMMUNICATION At the request of Airbnb, all communication is done through the Airbnb messenger app. We do require good communication with guests on the Airbnb messenger app before and during the stay. Please ensure you have the app downloaded to make communication a breeze. It will also mean you can contact me quickly if needed during your stay. GETTING AROUND & WHAT TO DO The Airport is approximately 15-20 minutes’ drive away. Taxi & Uber are easy to catch from the airport. The walk into the Centre of the City it can be anywhere between 25-40 minutes. The reef tours all depart from the Pier, which is easy to get to. Renting a car is a wonderful way to explore all Cairns has to offer. There is a bus service around Cairns, but it is quite limited. Please look up Sun Bus Cairns to check the timetable and to plan any trips may you wish to take. You can plan your route from 12 Gregory Street, Westcourt to your chosen location. We are spoilt in Cairns with an amazingly high quality of restaurants, bars, and cafes. If you would like any recommendations, please let me know. I am always happy to share our great experiences. Cairns has so much to see and do – it has something for everyone. From scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, to the award-winning Sky Rail up to Kuranda, to snorkelling at Fitzroy Island, a day trip up to the oldest Rainforest in the world at the Daintree, or just having a swim at the Lagoon on the lovely Esplanade. I have created a guest book which I am happy to share with any guests who need some ideas on what to do and see. SEE YOU SOON? I hope we have covered everything you will need to know about the Resort, the apartment, and Cairns. If you have any questions at all prior to booking, please just send us a message.
