Your Coral Coast Resort Inn

RonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We really enjoyed our short stay at Ekaterina's place! The accommodation was fully furnished with everything we needed and was decorated nicely! The 2 bedroom layout was very nice allowing 3 people to get up at time of their choosing and not disturb the other 2. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this host!

The house is well appointed with a large yard. A family could easily stay here. Overall the house is great and the area is superb

Trinity Beach Oasis

VickiRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The Oasis was just that for us. We were in Cairns for Crankworx, it was perfectly positioned for access to the motorway and private so no one outside could see the bikes etc. The restaurants a short walk away on the beach front were great, would highly reccommend L'unico. Thanks Kate, see you next year if Angus doesn't break himself in Europe 😊

Cairns Kewarra Beachfront Home

ChiaraRating, 5 stars5 months ago
In the 8 years I have been using Airbnb this was by far my best experience ever. The house was even more beautiful than the pictures online. Lisa was an amazing host. Always willing to help and super flexible. We are so grateful for our stay here. The house was so clean and cosy. The kitchen had all the necessary tools. The house was spacious and luminous. The pool is amazing to relax and offers enough space in the shade to read a book. We also loved the fact that the house was so close to the beach. Ideal to run in the morning or do a nice walk along the coast. The perfect house if you want a nice getaway with your family or a group of friends. Would 100% recommend and if we ever come back we will surely stay here. Once again, thank you Lisa from the whole family. ❤️

Trinity Beach Tropical Hideaway

MeenakshiRating, 5 stars5 months ago
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

The Beach House

TomRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

A home away from home. An amazing place to stay. Judi and David made us feel truly at home and nothing was too much to ask. By the end of your stay they are friends rather than air bnb hosts. Everything you could ever need was in there. We would definitely visit here again.

Palm Cove Oceanfront Resort Two-Bedroom Apartment

CarlaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Amazing stay in Palm Cove! The beach is right outside the font door. The kitchen is very well equipped. Complete with salt & pepper along with lots of utensils and containers. There are plenty of towels, tea towels etc. The toiletries provided were pretty nice too (Shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, body lotion and bath salts) There were enough blankets etc. The property is immaculately maintained, pool and outdoor areas are pristine Highly recommend to anyone One note though (re: the area) - do your shopping before you get to the suburb of Palm Cove. There are two very small & expensive supermarkets. Stop at Coles on the way over. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks again!

Beachfront Dome #8 on the Esplanade Trinity Beach

MichelleRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Stayed in Trinity beach for 6 nights. Dome was perfect for our stay and had everything that was needed, including beach towels. Cottage feel to the area and other guests/tenants were very friendly and welcoming. Shaded pool onsite was a nice alternative to the netted beach right across the street where there wasn't much shade. Centrally located that we could drive to Cairns for the day, Kuranda, or check out the other beaches nearby. Hosts were very responsive and easy to reach. Had trouble reading the dials on the stove but got it sorted quickly via messages. Highly recommend as it is a different experience from staying in a hotel or resort!

1 Bedroom Superior Seaview Apartment

BarbaraRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Our beach view apartment was clean and comfortable. We felt right at home. Bradley was responsive with answers for things to do and where to get the items we wanted for our stay. We found Ellis Beach where there is a very good local restaurant across the street. We went into Cairns for the Rusty Food Market, open Friday- Sunday and also found Preston Fresh Seafood where we purchased amazing seafood for almost every meal. Trinity Beach is only 20 minutes or so from the airport and less than an hour from Port Douglas for our snorkeling adventures. Daintree is just a bit further away. Trinity is quieter than some of the other places to stay. We spent a very relaxing 9 days there and if we ever venture back to the Great Barrier Reef, we'd be back. Definitely a perfect spot for us and recommend it highly!
