The property is centrally locatted, near to the centre of Cairns and only 15 minutes driving from the airport. The staff was super friendly and really helpfull during our stay. The daily housekeeping that they did in the room was great as well.

The room was comfortable, well priced and had everything we needed. The location was very central and close to shops, train station, bus stop and the Esplanade. After hours check in instructions were clear and I had no problem. I would definitely recommend Escape on Lake to others.

The room was spacious-enough for the two of us. The location is really good, being fairly centrally located. The check-in process was really smooth and the hosts were kind enough to let us check in early.

We enjoyed our stay and we loved Cairns. We appreciated and liked that our room was serviced every day with clean towels etc and it was clean and fresh. We were there for a week. Location is fantastic and we felt safe in the motel as its upstairs and private. Motel had everything we need and would highly recommend.
