About this property

The Reef Retreat | Waterfront by Reef Terminal

Set on the ninth floor above the Cairns Reef Terminal within one of Cairns' most desirable residential waterfront precincts, this privately positioned one-bedroom apartment offers a calm, refined, and ideal base for exploring tropical North Queensland.

Fully air-conditioned throughout, the spacious, light-filled interiors make the most of the apartment's prized corner position, with windows in both the lounge and bedroom filling the space with natural light. A generous wraparound balcony provides an elevated vantage point with sweeping views across Trinity Inlet and the hinterland beyond — the perfect setting to unwind with a drink after a day on the Reef or in the Rainforest.

Step outside your door and you're moments from Cairns' best restaurants and cafés, all just downstairs along the boardwalk. Back at the complex, enjoy a pool, sauna, BBQ facilities, and outdoor dining areas — everything you need without leaving home.

Whether you're here for the Reef, the Rainforest, or simply the waterfront lifestyle, this is the place to come back to.
