Best Location in Cairns - Ocean Views

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 307 reviews3 weeks ago

Darrell/Neill were very responsive and the instructions were perfect! We spent 2 nights (longest of this trip) and the accessibility to the dive boat and restaurants was great! They even had a washer which was really needed at this point in our trip! It was great!

Paradise at Holloway's Beach

5 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviews2 weeks ago

I had a wonderful stay at this seaside place. The location was perfect—just steps away from the ocean. The host was incredibly warm and thoughtful, even preparing small treats like bottled water and chocolate. The home was spotless, and the attention to detail really stood out.

810 Ocean View Apartment ~ Kitchen, Laundry, Pool

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviews1 month ago

Do yourself a favour and stay here. The apartment is perfectly located. It’s a stone’s throw away from the shops at Cairns Central and it’s easily walkable to the esplanade. The kitchen is well equipped for whipping up meals but there are plenty of restaurants closeby too. The view from the balcony is one of the draw cards. You can see the activity on the street and the water beyond. Mary and Tammy are responsive and lovely hosts. They provide clear communication and directions. We loved our stay and you will too.

La Palma Luxury Retreat With Heated Pool Palm Cove

5 out of 5 average rating, 45 reviews1 month ago

We had a wonderful stay at Robb's place. The entire home was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Robb has thought of everything you might need and has provided it. We enjoyed beautiful weather and spent most of our days relaxing either in the pool or by the pool. What we appreciated most was the privacy of the Villa. If you decide to venture out, you can easily walk to the Palm Cove beach area, which has plenty of restaurants and shops. The area also has a convenience store and liquor store, with a larger grocery store just down the road. Be sure to reference the detailed local directory provided by Robb, which lists area restaurants and things to do.

The Jungles of Kewarra Beach

Will was always contactable and forthcoming with information regarding our stay. The house was in a quiet residential area and the neighbours were friendly. The kids loved the pool and the layout of the bedrooms is great for a large family or multiple families (such as ours). We really enjoyed our stay at Will's place.

The Beach House

5 out of 5 average rating, 63 reviews6 days ago

We had a wonderful stay as a family of five with three kids who range from 6-11yo. Nicola’s property had everything we needed to enjoy the first few days of our trip to Australia. We cooked daily and the house was equipped for everything we needed. Beach access was literally in the back yard. Nicola was an outstanding host and communicated every step along the way. I would definitely return again

'10-B' Cairns Harbour Apartment ~ 2Bdrm/2Bath

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 91 reviews3 months ago

Stayed in with 4 adults, and it was just the room size we wanted. Private bedrooms and a big kitchen and living to share with the group was excellent. And we were super lucky to be able to see the New Years fireworks from the port at our room balconly. Additionally, great access to the city center and at the port. If you are planning to experience the marine activities from the port, this is the exact place you should be based in since it's just a 5-10 minutes walk up there.

Beautiful Family Getaway

5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviews6 months ago

Perfect for our family of 4 A short distance from main beach- we had a car & it took 2min ( probably a 10 min walk) Room was as pictured, clean and user friendly. The only downside was the kitchen didn't have any consumables like oil ( there were a few little salt/pepper sachets) etc BUT we later found that there is a BBQ near the front pool with oil etc available for cooking :) The pools were the selling point for this property- 3 to choose from! We spent most of our time in the middle pool as it was kid friendly. Perfect stay, thank you! We will be back.
