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!

Two-Bedroom Apartment Right In Front Of The Beach!
We had an amazing stay! The place was spotlessly clean and wonderfully quiet, providing everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. It was incredibly spacious for the three of us, and the pool area was a standout—warm, with plenty of shaded spots and a BBQ area, perfect for relaxing. The other guests were delightful, friendly, and always up for a good chat! Our time here felt too short, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

Our 3 B/R apartment was truly magnificent overlooking the beach front- five star! All very modern, clean and tidy. The pool and BBQ area great to lounge around and for dinner one night Thoughly recommended and would love to return Bob

Spa Apartment, Reef Retreat Apartments Palm Cove
Got us out of a pickle. We'd booked accommodation for the wrong month! Fabian did us a solid, responded quickly, and saved us from sleeping on the beach or in our car over New Years 😆

Stunning 2-3 Bed Penthouse Gorgeous Ocean Views
Beautiful location and easy checkin. This place is also even bigger than you would expect. Beautiful view and easy access to beach. Of note there are 4 flights of start from parking to unit, not a problem for me but may be for some

Cairns Waterfront Luxury at Harbourlights
I booked Carolyn's apartment for my husband and son who were in Cairns for a fishing charter. They said the view was stunning and the location of the apartment was perfect being right next door to the marina. With a pool and restaurants on the ground level, everything was easy access. The apartment was beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable with everything needed for a great stay in Cairns. Carolyn the host was very helpful with her instructions for getting access and keys - all very straightforward. Carolyn thoughtfully had air con and fans running in the apartment before my husband and son arrived - it was much appreciated with the Cairns heat.

Cottage on the Esplanade
I enjoyed my time out there is small but beautiful

Villa O’Shea
A beautiful location with the sea just outside! Sunrises are superb. Shame you can’t swim in the sea due to the crocs.

Belle Escapes Bethany Beach House Trinity Beach
Beautiful property. Exactly as described. Walkable to everywhere in Trinity Beach. Welcome treats were very much appreciated to help us settle in. Plenty of room for our family members to be together or spread out. Hoping to return & would definitely book again. Thank you for having us.

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😊

Bramston on the Beach: A Private Poolside Oasis
This beautiful property is perfect for a group, with all the bedrooms having their own ensuites. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever experienced making cooking at home easy and enjoyable. The house is lovely, open and light looking out to the beach with a gorgeous pool. It’s impossible not to relax at this beautiful property. We loved it. Also plenty of space to have your own down time with two outdoor areas and generous open plan living space. Thankyou !!

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!

219 Harbour Lights with Ocean View
This place was great! The location is very good at the harbour. The apartment is duper clean and well equipped with everything you need. Check-in was super easy and the host would always reply within 30 minutes. Highly recommend this place! 😊

325 Harbour Lights with Garden View
Best location, easy to walk to everywhere. Nice and spacious apt. But location really is the best especially if you are traveling with kids. Only minor downside is the ants on kitchen counter, otherwise all good.

Drift Beachfront Resort Suite 2409
Thank you for a beautiful stay. The staff were very responsive & waiting for us upon arrival. Balcony overlooks the pool, spa + has ocean glimpses through the trees. It was very relaxing sitting up there, watching the sunset & sunrise. The rooms are maintained well for the age with extra touches like rolled towels, hand cream, soap etc. The kitchen has a pods machine, small dishwasher, double hotplates, microwave. Note no oven. The washing machine, dryer, and towel rack were very handy to ensure dry swimming items. The bedrooms are seperated by glass, offering limited privacy. However, both the rooms have balcony views. Overall, we had a wonderful time. We especially enjoyed swimming in the large lagoon style swimming pool, surrounded by picturesque tropical grounds.

1101 Harbour Lights with Ocean Views
The location of the apartment and the views are great. The place is just as described & very comfortable. Thomas' responses & communication were always very prompt & helpful. I would highly recommend his place to anyone coming to Cairns.

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

Esplanade 1 Bedroom Apartment with pool
Marc was super helpful. Place is very spacious and close to everything. It’s great for long stays.

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 !

11 Harbour Lights with Ocean Views
You cannot beat this location - the kitchen, living and dining has 180 degree views of the harbour and it's truly spectacular. The bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely too, as was the pool in the complex.
