Amphora - Family Friendly Spacious Unit
Absolutely wonderful week stay at Denis and Annes property. Everything was exactly as described. Clean, very comfortable and the facilities were excellent. Plenty of kitchen equipment, full washing facilities and the bathrooms were large. The beds were so comfortable! I highly recommend and we will definitely be back. On Palm Cove itself, the fishing was superb and a good variety of species to chase. The swim net was a area we used daily. Plenty of restaurants all within walking distance. I am so impressed with everything we have come across this week. Thank you to Denis and Anne for such a wonderful accommodation and allowing us to stay!

Stylish Palm Cove Apartment
One of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed at. What a treat to stay at such a clean, stylish, private apartment with a beautiful view. It was SO perfect— peacefully private, close to the beach and shops, but I’m seriously so impressed with how clean and new the place is. Would 1000% come back. Extremely fresh linens and nice washing machine with provided detergents.

❤️ The Beach Shack -3BR Waterfront Resort ❤️WIFI✔️
Matthew was definitely a super host with quick responses to any communication. The apartment was in a great location with water views of Trinity Beach and within a few minutes walk to restaurants and a convenience store. A large resort pool was also a bonus to cool off after busy days sightseeing. Thanks Matt for a great stay.

Makilaki Tropical Haven Machans Beach Cairns
Such a perfect beautiful place with a kind host. Very comfortable rooms, a relaxing back area, and a chill vibe. No problem using the kitchen. Easy quick walk to the beach. Relaxed community. Highly recommend!

Paradise at Holloway's Beach
We had an excellent stay at Myranda’s unit. It was spotless inside, and well located close to the beach. A lovely deck. The unit was well equipped and Myranda’s communication was excellent. We would highly recommend this listing.

The Chic Pad @ Trinity Beach
We spent over a week at this lovely place. The vibe is just so peaceful, bright and welcoming! There are all amenities you could need. The place is a few minutes on foot from the restaurnats and the beach. It was very nice to have the morning coffee in the cozy garden. The pool was great as well. Megan was super friendly and made sure we had all we needed. Hope to be back one day.

Esplanade apartment sleeps 5
Great apartment in Cairns! Could not more highly recommend this apartment and Cheryl as a host. The apartment itself was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. It matched the description as advertised. The location is ideal right near the esplanade but still having your own space and feeling quiet and private inside. It was ideal for our family being so close to Muddy’s playground and cafe and walking distance to the Cairns lagoon area. Cheryl was extremely easy and friendly to communicate with and went out of her way to help. Highly recommend!

Palm Cove Sea Temple 2-4 Bed 2 Bath Apart inc lift
Beautiful apartment and surroundings. Within walking distance to restaurants and beach. Owners and admin were very responsive to questions. Beds were so comfortable and everything was very clean. Appreciated the extra towels. Internet was a bit hit and miss and no shampoo in the bathrooms (lots of conditioner though) which may have just been an oversight. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Diane.

The Peony Isle—Luxe Lakeside Haven with Pool & Spa
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.

Luxury ocean property “ La Flotte” in North Qld
Had an incredible stay - highly recommend.

Villa O’Shea
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.

Quintessential Kewarra Classy 3BR home & Huge Pool
We totally enjoyed our stay at Nadia’s place. Great location, quiet, well presented home and I especially loved the pool. 5 stars for everything. I would love to stay there again😊

"Namaste" - Private pool oasis in Palm Cove
A very beautiful part of the world and a comfortable and clean accomodation in a gorgeous neighbourhood to make our visit extra relaxing. The pool was a real hit with our family! The landscaping at this home and the surrounding homes is spectacular. Thanks for hosting us, Nikki :)

Family friendly: Wi-Fi, Netflix, Yard, fits 10.
The house located in beautiful place. Very quiet neighbourhood lots to explore and so many different plants behind the house with mountain view. I will recommend to everyone to stay at least once. Thank Evelyn and Rodney couples for your help to extend one day extra when we needed☺️. I will definitely comeback again. SPREAD LOVE☺️

The Beach House
We were lucky to stay at this beautiful beach house on very short notice after other accommodation fell through. Nicola was quick to respond and helped us get into the house within 30 minutes of contact. when we arrived the place was pristine with a lovely homey feel and decor that suited it's tropical beachfront location. Kitchen was extremely well stocked with thoughtful touches like included oils, sauces and washing up material. nothing worse than a stingy host! The back deck was lovely to sit on with views of their very secluded beachfront, it felt like our own personal beach! plenty of room for the 5 of us with a great pool to chill out in. Thanks for having us!

Such a beautiful apartment. Everything was so well looked after - and clean! Loved the easy pool access and the other resort amenities. Can’t wait to come back with the family next time. Thank-you!

Business or Pleasure
Pretty central location, clean. I was a solo traveler so didn’t spend a lot of time there. Served my purpose perfectly. Walks/run on the board walk just across the street. No noise. Lovely pool. Secure and safe. Would I go back, deffo.

Palm Cove Beach Resort Two-Bedroom Apartment
Palm cove is the perfect location for a holiday. Peter and Satina apartment is the perfect place to stay ground floor access to pool and all amenities. We will return.

Trinity Beach Tropical Hideaway
A sprawling home with great views. Kitchen was fabulous. The bedrooms and bathrooms were top notch. The patio area had comfortable seating. Even though the place is a part of a small group of apartments, it felt totally private. Covered car park was a bonus. Hosts are super responsive and helpful. One reaches the place through two flights of narrow stairs. It may be difficult to carry large luggage or if you have mobility issues. Otherwise this is a dream vacation home

Relax at Trinity Beach Getaway, Blue Lagoon.
Amazing stay! The place was spotless, stylish, and had everything we needed. The host was super responsive and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Perfect location, close to local attractions. Highly recommend and would book again!

Peppers Palm Cove luxury
Kate’s apartment is in one of the best complexes in Palm Cove. It is perfectly situated in the Main Street opposite the beach. We stayed there for the Ironman event and were very happy to have chosen it. It is very homely and with all the appliances and kitchenware you could need, plus a washing machine and dryer. Highly recommended.

Cairns Apartment Esplanade Ocean Views
We traveled to Cairns for a family vacation! Christine’s place was top notch in terms of location and surroundings with very happening cafes & restaurants just around the corner. Moreover, we spent 2 days just enjoying the property with great ocean views and coffee ! Pool & tennis lawn added more entertainment! This relaxed city & the property has given our family a core travel memory! Highly recommend this property a great family vacation living experience !
