I loved the ambience, true to it's name- it looked just like a Colonial Club would have in the old days. The rooms are beautifully placed, surrounded by tropical gardens. The design of the resort revolves around the pool, bar cum grill restaurant. It is family friendly and child friendly as well. It is a short drive from the CBD, but not within walking distance. Very close to the Cairns Botanical Gardens.

I like the swimming areas, cater for all ages - children and adults. Right by the restaurant, there are two slides and a wooden platform for kids and teenagers to have fun going into the water. A big screen showing animated films in the evening. I find it a great place for family.
