Kewarra Beach House

SherelleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This was a fantastic place to stay with the family! There is plenty of space in the living area for everyone- and all your stuff!! The beds were comfortable and it was nice and quiet. Everything was really well provisioned with some helpful staples being available in the kitchen in particular. The weber bbq on the back patio was excellent. And last but not least - the pool area was amazing! The kids in particular enjoyed the lights and bubbles in this beautiful area! Thanks for a wonderful stay!!

The Peony Isle—Luxe Lakeside Haven with Pool & Spa

AnnetteRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had the most wonderful stay at Trinity Beach. The house was spectacular, everything was as desceibed and more. There was so much to keep the kids occupied that they were reluctant to leave the house at times. The beds were very comfortable, plenty of pillows and extra throws. It was still very warm and humid at times in Cairns but the aircon kept us all cool along with the lovely breezes in the afternoon and evening. The kitchen was well supplied with lost of extra basics in the pantry. There was every type of appliance which made cooking a breeze. The bathrooms were well stocked with a lovely selection of shampoo, conditioner and body wash (Large Bottles not those skimpy one use only containers which I hate). The laundry was great, a big clean front loading washing machine and dryer plus a clothes line under cover and well supplied with washing powder too. The pool and the spa were what attracted us to the property and were a great sucess with all, will definetly come here again.

Villa O’Shea

AdamRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Thanks for having us at your place. It was a nice house with a lovely pool and beautiful backyard, even better is the view from the front deck at sun rise. The only thing I’d say is given the location a BBQ would be a great addition, we would have really appreciated this but got by without it. O’Sheas down the road is a good pub for food and a couple of beers, and the cafe is good too.

La Palma Luxury Retreat With Heated Pool Palm Cove

MinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a fantastic stay at Rob’s property! The house was peaceful, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Its location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and shops, making it incredibly convenient. The hosts were wonderful and always responsive, promptly answering all our questions. Although we encountered a couple of minor issues during our stay, they were resolved quickly and efficiently, which we really appreciated. Overall, this property provided the perfect getaway, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. Thank you for a great experience!

Seascape @ Palm Cove: Heated Pool | Luxury | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

AmyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We stayed for the last part of our holiday in Palm Cove. Fiona’s property was amazing and easy to stay at. The property its self is well looked after, has plenty of room and very clean. It had everything we needed and the pool being heated was the best. Fiona is a great host, I asked a few questions and she was very responsive. It was sad to leave such a beautiful place to come home to the cold 😂 I would definitely recommend this property and if we come back to Palm Cove would book again.

Kuranda Rainforest House

KealohaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We just finished up an amazing 1.5 weeks at Renee's beautiful place. We're a family of 4 (2 teenagers, 2 adults) and this house was perfect! We had enough room to spread out but also great common areas to share meals, conversation and games. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking - dishes, many different appliances, pots/pans as well as basic staples like olive oil. The outdoor spaces were lovely; the landscaping is beautiful and the large deck became our favorite place to hang out and watch the river, butterflies and birds. The layout was great for us - two of the bedrooms are connected to the main house via the deck so it gave everyone their own space. We had a chance to go swimming in the river which our kids loved. We arrived to Cairns very early & Renee was gracious enough to allow us to check in early which we appreciated after 28hrs of travel! We would definitely stay here again - we were sorry to leave!

Rainforest Sunsets by Tiny Away

DameonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We booked this spot for a quick getaway to celebrate my wife's birthday. We were treated to million dollar views and a spectacular night sky. The host also offered a 5 am yoga session that we signed up for. It was one of the best yoga trainings I've ever had. The house had everything we needed for a short stay. The host gave us beautiful fresh cut flowers from their gardens that we would have taken with us, but we had a full schedule that day. We loved it!

Fantastic location! Walkable to shops and restaurants. House was great value and met all our needs for a large group. Billy is a great host and more than happy to accommodate to any needs. We noted that the kitchenware needed updating as our group liked to cook, within hours Billy brought us Brand new pots and pans and knife set. Just wish we mentioned it earlier! Will be back!

Pet-Friendly in Paradise

TehanaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was hands down the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in—better than modern city apartments I’ve stayed at in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The space is private, secure, beautifully styled, and fully equipped with everything you could need—down to high-quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash, plush towels, and even salt! (which I always have to buy when we go to an air BnB/ hotel). The bedding was comfy, and although we stayed in winter, the place is so well-ventilated it would be perfect in Cairns’ humid summer too. The welcome touches—wine, cheese, snacks, and a handwritten card were so thoughtful. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, going above and beyond. There’s a BBQ, full kitchen, washer/dryer, and it’s close to takeaway spots and shops. The value was unreal—cheaper than others but by far the best experience. I didn’t need to buy a single thing. Just arrived with my bags and food. If you’re considering this place—book it. You’ll love it!

Reinwood Retreat

GeorgeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed 6 nights at Reinwood Retreat and used it as a base to explore the local area around Cairns, and it was perfect for us. Away from the crowds and located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, this was the perfect escape after a full day of being a tourist. There are many excellent restaurants the local area and we were impressed by every one we tried. The location is beautiful and very close to the beach, although we enjoyed just spending time on the back porch watching the cockatoos and other birds that frequent the property (we saw wallabies, lace monitors, lorikeets, eagles and tree frogs from the balcony). Tom’s place was superbly appointed, clean, super comfortable and I would recommend 100%

Great place to stay. Walking distance to everything but in a nice neighbourhood with plenty of young backpacker style neighbours around. It’s an older house with plenty of character and was a great place to come back to at the end of each day. Really helpful and attentive hosts.

Ohana- Ultimate family escape

JamesRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The Boutique Collection were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish—very responsive and easy to communicate with. The house was perfect for our trip. The cinema room is amazing, and the open-plan living space, nestled among the trees, creates a beautiful connection with nature. A heads-up: the pool only gets sun in the morning, so plan your swims accordingly. The only downside was that the houseplants, both inside and out, seemed neglected—many were dead, possibly because the property had been unoccupied for a while. Aside from that, the location is absolutely perfect, with easy access to both Palm Cove and Cairns.
