Lovely big apartment well equipped, loved the big balcony, several seats and tables which was good with the view over the harbour on one side and view into Cairns centre on the other. Plenty of room and comfy bed. Also really liked the L'Occitane tioletries which smelled lovely. There was a washing machine & tumble dryer as we were on holiday for a month and it came in very handy. The apartment is a 5-10 Min walk from the centre and all the lovely restaurants eg. Dundee etc right on your doorstep. It was so easy to get on boats at the harbour for trips. Lovely property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cairns there.

The sea facing apartment was stunning! It was huge with two lounge areas, fully equipped kitchen, huge patio with a large table and an inside dining area. It was double the size apartment that we were expecting! Everything was clean and comfortable and an issue with the air conditioning in the exceptional heat was quickly attended to. The netted area for swimming was a minute walk down the beach.

Great beachside house. Stayed with family including 7mth old. Cool location with lovely setting. Loved sitting on the front deck with beach views. Inside open plan good for just hanging out together. Had everything we needed plus extras we could use for picnic etc. Used kitchen and deck bbq. Glad we stayed here and not in Cairns. Host was excellent.
