Perfect place to relax for a few days. Excellent location close to everything. Only a short walk to restaurants, shops and 50m to beach.

Fantastic set of units, close to the beach, snuggled within a Tropical garden, with a beautiful pool. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, a little out dated, but value for money is amazing. Steph was fantastic. Hidden, the small cute cafe is in the grounds and has fantastic coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinners. Amazing, I will be going back for sure.

10/10 Exceptional

Carl and Mandy were so welcoming and friendly. We were visiting from Los Angeles, and they helped us with all our questions regarding transportation, bookings and lost luggage. It's a great spot to visit for fun, relaxation, and walks on the beach. There's also a restaurant on-site called Hidden. The staff is also welcoming and friendly. The Reuben sandwich is different than I'm used to, and it was amazingly delicious! We also enjoyed the yummy brekkie burger, crispy chicken dinner, and Hidden House Salad.

Was great place with beach nearby, too bad we missed dining at the hiding because of new years but a lovely place with the pool the children enjoyed in. The instructions were clear and we had no problem checking in late in the night

This is the perfect place, clean and quiet. Outside the city in a peaceful area, very short walk to the beach. Wonderful pool on site. Having a car is recommended to get around but very close to attractions in the area.

Hotel review

Excellent 11 night stay having arrived in Cairns for relocation. Hotel is in a wonderful location right on the beach and within walking distance to small shops, bar and cafe. There is a lovely tropical pool onsite too along with a small restaurant/bar. Our room had everything you would require and was clean and tidy. The hosts communication was brilliant and we couldn’t recommend the hotel enough.

Hi, The two negatives I have from our stay are a very hard mattress in the main bedroom(sofa bed was more comfortable)No staff on at reception on weekend wasn't ideal But The pool was lovely,the breakfast on site was outstanding,the staff were friendly,the rooms although dated were very clean and nicely layed out with plenty of room for a comfortable stay and the fresh plants from the garden were a nice touch.I would definitely stay here again and would recommend the Golden sands to my friends and family.

We loved it here. The apartment was spotless and fully equipped with super “Hidden” cafe downstairs. Right next to the beautiful beach, tropical pool and close to bus stops and shops. What a little piece of paradise. A place of tranquility and calm. Everyone very friendly too. Can’t think of anything we would change!

We stayed 9 nights at this nice apartment. The location is apart from central Cairns, so the accessibility to the central is not convenient so much, but we enjoyed very calm and relaxing scenery instead. I recommend the apartment if you prefer to chill out your stay here.

The property had a very relaxed feeling with a lovely lagoon. I enjoyed the tennis and basketball courts. It was nice being outside of the hustle and bustle of Cairns. My only feedback would be upgrade the bed, as a sensitive sleeper it was very bouncy as my partner moved throughout the night. Thanks for a great stay.

Great location nestled amongst mature palm trees and a stone’s throw from the beach. 2 clean spacious units were perfect for 2 adults and 3 kids and perfect for self catering. Lovely mildly heated pool and the tennis court kept us all occupied when we weren’t out and about. Carl and Mandy were awesome and super helpful. Would definitely come back and recommend if you’re hitting the Cairns area.

A fantastic spot. Great hospitality, cleanliness and communication from the staff. Very comfortable room, huge bed, well shaded picturesque pool, right next to a strip of rainforest that separates you from the beach by just 150m. Warm evening walks on the beach with access to two good restaurants, Hidden@Yorkeys and Ten06. I was considering giving a negative review so I could keep this secret all to myself.

The receptionist was very kind and the conversation became fun. The room was spacious and clean. We had a washing machine and a dryer, and we had a very comfortable time. It's close to the sea, there's a tennis court and basketball goal.

6/10 Good

Very quaint apt. It has the necessary appliances required to stay for short rental. We stayed for 10 days. The room was spacious & lots of seating areas. It is also very close to the beach & walking path. The bathroom door needs an update since it keeps getting stuck when you slide it. The fans & ducts does need some cleaning---noticeable dust has accumulated over time. The restaurant in the hotel has a lovely menu.

Pleasant Stay

The one bedroom apartment was clean and comfortable. Shower and air conditioning were good. Location is in quiet street with good parking. The apartments are not serviced. This is fine but given the savings on cleaning the complex makes when you stay a week I would have expected supplies of toilet rolls etc to have been replenished. It’s a minor thing but somewhat annoying. Overall a good stay.

Proprietor (Mandy) could not have been more responsive or accommodating as regards our group’s ‘unconventional’ requirements.
