Southern Cross Atrium Apartments

Southern Cross Atrium Apartments offers self-contained accommodation in a city-centre setting, with a resort-style layout designed around three tropical atriums. The buildings are arranged to bring greenery and open-air spaces into the property, creating a relaxed contrast to the urban surroundings.

Accommodation is available in studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom formats, including Superior and Deluxe categories. The range suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups seeking apartment-style accommodation with room choices suited to different stays. The property also caters to corporate and ongoing accommodation requirements.

The atriums provide the main sense of place. Landscaped swimming pools sit among palms and ferns, with several pool areas shaped for relaxed swimming and family use. A heated plunge pool offers a smaller bathing option. The facilities are designed for both adults and children, giving the property a casual, family-friendly atmosphere rather than a formal hotel feel.

Outdoor communal areas include two wooden gazebos positioned near the pools. Each gazebo has an electric barbecue, creating a practical setting for family gatherings, reunions and corporate get-togethers. The barbecue areas can be used without advance booking, subject to availability at the time.

Southern Cross Atrium Apartments is positioned on Water Street in Cairns City, close to everyday services and transport. Central shopping, a supermarket and the railway station are each a short walk away. Rusty’s Farmers Market, the Esplanade Markets, the Cairns Night Market, Cairns Aquarium and the Reef Casino are also within walking distance, while the Great Barrier Reef terminal is a short taxi trip away. Airport access is available by taxi, and on-site parking includes covered and uncovered spaces suitable for cars and caravans.

The property combines apartment accommodation with tropical shared facilities and a convenient central location. It suits travellers who value access to shops, markets, transport and local tours, as well as families and groups looking for pool areas and barbecue facilities within the accommodation setting.
