Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Great Barrier Reef

Perfect location, beachfront home that had everything we needed for a short stay. Clean house with all the essentials. Great communication from host. Thank you.

The house was amazing, looked just like the pictures. The views were beautiful, and positioned in a lovely spot where the rock wallabies come right past. Great communication from host Ekaterina and Raymond the property manager was also very helpful. Will definitely recommend to anyone wanting a luxury stay in Maggie and we will definitely be staying there again.

What an amazing place, we had such a fun time! The views are amazing, lovely plunge pool to cool off when it got hot overlooking the rainforest. Pool table and darts to keep us all entertained in the evening. Enough hammocks, swing chairs and couches for everyone to find a spot to relax. Plenty of wildlife about, lots of new critters us Melbournians had never seen before, our 7 year old loved it! We went and explored a few things while we were here but we could have honestly just as easily spent the entire time just enjoying ourselves at the property. Absolutely a little slice of paradise Dean has created, also props to him for his communication and making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.

Very nice relaxing quiet place. Julie looked after us well even providing 6 nice fresh eggs from her chickens. Would recommend.

This is our second visit to the Wallaby House and I don’t see it being our last! As a family with little ones- being able to see the ocean and the pool from the kitchen is a big win!! The fact that the house is spacious, with a big back yard- makes it perfect for the kids to play outside and not get cabin fever! My 19month old, 4 and 6 year olds all walked to the beach and back so the location is just perfect for us! Definitely a gem!

Very well equipped, clean and well designed home. We felt right at home. Easy beach access and Nadia was extremely communicative and accommodating of a slightly later check out. Would recommend!

First time in Mission Beach and didn’t want to leave. Deborah’s place was absolutely beautiful, we were also provided with fresh fruit and bread condiments and coffee on arrival. The location was perfect, car was not required. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! We will definitely be back.

This place was spectacular! Hard to fault - private location with amazing views. The place was clean and tidy and had everything we could’ve asked for.

We had an amazing time in Port Douglas. The room was very large, had everything we needed and was spotless on arrival. Absolutely nothing to complain about and will definitely look at this place again if we return to PD!

We had an amazing stay. The apartment was fantastic for our two week stay. We enjoyed the space and the view was always breath taking. Jane was so lovely and helpful throughout our stay and made sure we had a fantastic time. I wouldn’t recommend staying anywhere else. It is a beautiful and quiet place with plenty in the area to do. We also enjoyed some amazing lazy days by the pool and in the spa. Thanks Jane for everything! Xx

My third stay at Bron and Norberts place!. Peaceful and beautiful location, both friendly, knowledgable people. Great pool, & cafe nearby is great too. Everything U need for basic self catering in the kitchen, and the fridge is cold. Always appreciate their welcome touches - eggs, bread milk etc. curious adolescent cassowary passes through regularly. Highly recommend, I had a wonderful stay😊

Very clean, light filled apartment. 20 minutes walk from the centre of Cairns. Host was very communicative. Addition of washing machine and dryer was very helpful as we travelled with a small baby. Access to pools in the complex also great was to relax in the North Queensland heat!

We had a fabulous 3 night stay at Shan’s place, and wish we had booked longer! Shan provided easy to follow information, and everything was exactly as described. Extremely clean and comfortable! A lot more spacious than we expected, and my border collie had lots of space to relax and enjoy the beautiful breeze on the balcony..he was very happy! The rain head shower was amazing!! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook or order in, with quality fittings. The location is perfect, and we felt very secure in this lovely building and surrounds. We had plenty of off street parking, which is a great help. We are definitely visiting again soon and highly recommend Shan’s place for a relaxing and comfy stay! Thanks Shan!

This was a fantastic place to stay. Very clean, well appointed, comfortable, and convenient to everything. We would definitely stay again.

unbelievable view and wonderful location for a short stay in and around cairns... will need a car to enjoy the surrounds. place was as advertised and hosts were amazing...responded and offered food choices for a handy breakfast to kick start the day's adventures...5 stars although cant comemnt on the pool as we didnt use it . it looked great, we were time poor this trip will be back highly recomended... thanks +

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Zen Den it was zensational. The room is fitted out with everything you could need and more (sunscreen, bug spray, cotton buds etc.). The use of the Ramada facilities were great, the were staff super helpful and the food and drinks were not unseasonably priced. If your up for a good walk, you can walk into Port Douglas town in under an hour. Julie is an excellent communicator and the bottle of sparkling is a beautiful welcome. I highly recommend a stay at the Zen Den!

Daniel is very helpful. He also accomodated our late check out request which is much appreciated.

Leah is a naturally warm and thoughtful host who truly understands what travellers need. We felt at home right away, thanks to all the little extras she provided, ike salt, pepper, oil, and many other small touches that most people wouldn’t expect. The location was perfect, right next to a beautiful park, and with a car, everything was conveniently close. I’m back home now, but I already miss this place!

Janelle was an amazing host, the place was absolutely amazing and we had a wonderful holiday. She made sure we were looked after and after we forgot to leave a set of keys still tried to be helpful and assist us. Thank you Janelle

Angela's place was fantastic, location was great, and everything was clean and all layed out very easily. Would happily stay there again.

I had a wonderful stay at Andrea’s apartment at 201 Lake Street, Cairns. The place was clean, well-furnished, and very comfortable—perfect for a relaxing visit. It had everything I needed for a great stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, laundry facilities, Wi-Fi, a comfortable bed, and a modern bathroom. The building also had a pool and secure parking, which were great bonuses. The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the Esplanade, restaurants, shops, and the marina. Andrea was very easy to deal with—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout the booking and stay. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cairns.

Lovely apartment in a great location. Vanessa & Mick were very responsive to our questions. Lovely comfortable beds.

Great place to stay inside a good resort. Bec’s place was everything we expected, quiet room and location, good space, spa was great and shower had pressure like you never see. Would be back again no worries !

The apartment is fantastic, extremely clean and equipped with anything we needed. We particularly appreciated the Nespresso machine, and the pantry well stocked with Nespresso pods (our favourite flavours!). The building is clean and safe. Andrew has been a great host, and has been consistently in touch with us throughout our stay. He even offered us a late check out at no extra charge! We will definitely book this property again, should we come back to Cairns!
