The York Beachfront Holiday Apartments  

On Queensland’s northern coast in the seaside village of Yorkeys Knob, just 15–20 minutes north of Cairns. This beachfront aparthotel puts you a short stroll from Yorkeys Knob Beach and a quick drive to Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, Smithfield shopping, and the Half Moon Bay Golf Course. Cairns Intl. Airport is about 17 km away, with easy access to reef and rainforest departures.

Sixteen individually decorated, self-contained holiday apartments with full kitchens (cooktop, oven, full-sized fridge, microwave, dishwasher) plus washer and dryer. Rooms have private furnished patios or balconies, 42-cm flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning and daily housekeeping; some bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs. Expect generous indoor/outdoor living, a deck overlooking Half Moon Bay Marina and a laid-back beachside vibe.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or lap pool, soak in the hot tub/spa tub and hit the on-site fitness center. The property offers tour/ticket assistance (with a 5% discount on booked tours) for Great Barrier Reef, Daintree and Atherton Tablelands trips, plus picnic and barbecue areas and bike rentals. Free self-parking and a courtesy coach/airport shuttle (surcharge) make arrivals easy—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and hit the beach.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected, and there’s a library and safe-deposit box at the front desk. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge and free self-parking is onsite.

An on-site bar and restaurant serve casual meals and local flavors, with plenty of nearby cafes and eateries to explore. Grab breakfast or dinner on the deck and watch Half Moon Bay Marina life glide by.
