Tropical Oasis
Had a wonderful stay in Kristina’s home. Everything you could want for a holiday in Cairns with the family. Very clean,quiet surroundings, comfortable beds, good shower pressure, and lots of things supplied in the kitchen with a big fridge.The stand out for my family was the HEATED POOL and outside area, we spent most days in the pool and sitting outside in the undercover area. It’s close enough to Cairns, Trinity beach and Palm Cove but in a quiet neighbourhood. Highly recommend this lovely house thanks Kristina for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful Cairns home . Free wifi.
A beautiful place to chill out and relax. All the comforts you could want are provided. We loved sitting by the pool and watching the beautiful birds in the surrounding trees. Would definitely come back again.

Villa O’Shea
Thanks for having us at your place. It was a nice house with a lovely pool and beautiful backyard, even better is the view from the front deck at sun rise. The only thing I’d say is given the location a BBQ would be a great addition, we would have really appreciated this but got by without it. O’Sheas down the road is a good pub for food and a couple of beers, and the cafe is good too.

Breathtaking views of the ocean and Cairns City
Wow 🤩 a lovely home and was perfect for the whole family I recommend staying here 👍🏼💖😍 Such a beautiful place 🌴

"Namaste" - Private pool oasis in Palm Cove
A very beautiful part of the world and a comfortable and clean accomodation in a gorgeous neighbourhood to make our visit extra relaxing. The pool was a real hit with our family! The landscaping at this home and the surrounding homes is spectacular. Thanks for hosting us, Nikki :)

La Palma Luxury Retreat With Heated Pool Palm Cove
We had a fantastic stay at Rob’s property! The house was peaceful, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Its location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and shops, making it incredibly convenient. The hosts were wonderful and always responsive, promptly answering all our questions. Although we encountered a couple of minor issues during our stay, they were resolved quickly and efficiently, which we really appreciated. Overall, this property provided the perfect getaway, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. Thank you for a great experience!

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!

Belle Escapes Sea La Vie
Great location, fabulous home, extremely well equipped kitchen and selection of crockery, glasses and cutlery. Beach, wonderful restaurants and bus stop all within easy walking distance. Great spot to discover the area from and also enjoy everything that was local or in our own backyard, including great swimming pool and rock wallabies over the back fence. Antje wonderful to communicate with. Only slight (and overall minor) niggle was the bedding - would be great to have cotton rather than polyester doona, fitted bottom sheets and please pillows that aren't just small, shallow clumps of polyester wadding. Even with the pillows would give a rating of 10/10 and very happily stay again.

Pole home in paradise @ Kuranda
Highly recommend! Great location, impeccably clean, and the most spectacular views! Our family of four enjoyed our time in this amazing house.

Rainforest Treehouse Sanctuary - with ocean views
Absolutely stunning home with all the comforts This was the perfect place for my families short visit to Cairns. Perched in the jungle trees overlooking Cairns makes for a convenient and beautiful location. We appreciated being a 5 minute drive from the grocery store and 25 minute drive from Kuranda. Excellent place!

Hidden Gem・Edge Hill Cairns
From the moment we arrived, Ari was there to welcome us and walk us through everything. He is a fantastic host and made the stay extremely enjoyable. His suggestions of things to do with our family was great and even helped us with bookings of local attractions. Make the most of everything he suggests and offers as he was even able to score us better pricing than anywhere we could find for the island trip! We will definitely be back! Thanks Ari for the fantastic experience.

Kuranda Rainforest House
We just finished up an amazing 1.5 weeks at Renee's beautiful place. We're a family of 4 (2 teenagers, 2 adults) and this house was perfect! We had enough room to spread out but also great common areas to share meals, conversation and games. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking - dishes, many different appliances, pots/pans as well as basic staples like olive oil. The outdoor spaces were lovely; the landscaping is beautiful and the large deck became our favorite place to hang out and watch the river, butterflies and birds. The layout was great for us - two of the bedrooms are connected to the main house via the deck so it gave everyone their own space. We had a chance to go swimming in the river which our kids loved. We arrived to Cairns very early & Renee was gracious enough to allow us to check in early which we appreciated after 28hrs of travel! We would definitely stay here again - we were sorry to leave!

Aeroglen Studio
Had a great Stay, really close to the trails and Airport. Would stay again no problems.

Rainforest Sunsets by Tiny Away
We booked this spot for a quick getaway to celebrate my wife's birthday. We were treated to million dollar views and a spectacular night sky. The host also offered a 5 am yoga session that we signed up for. It was one of the best yoga trainings I've ever had. The house had everything we needed for a short stay. The host gave us beautiful fresh cut flowers from their gardens that we would have taken with us, but we had a full schedule that day. We loved it!

Oasis, in leafy Whitfield.
Craig was an excellent and well experienced host. The house was spotless and generous with all the items that make you feel at home. The pool is stunning.

Edge Hill Apartment under Queenslander w Pool
Nous avons passé un super moment! Le cadre est paradisiaque, la piscine très agréable, le logement comporte tout le nécessaire et est décoré avec goût. Notre hôte a été aux petits soins tout au long du séjour. L’emplacement est idéal, non loin de l’aéroport et à 15 minutes en voiture du centre de Cairns. Nous recommandons sans hésiter :)

Lake Street Retreat
This cottage was beautifully presented and stocked. We were really impressed. Appreciated the security gates. The garden and back deck were especially beautiful.

Seascape @ Palm Cove: Heated Pool | Luxury | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We stayed for the last part of our holiday in Palm Cove. Fiona’s property was amazing and easy to stay at. The property its self is well looked after, has plenty of room and very clean. It had everything we needed and the pool being heated was the best. Fiona is a great host, I asked a few questions and she was very responsive. It was sad to leave such a beautiful place to come home to the cold 😂 I would definitely recommend this property and if we come back to Palm Cove would book again.

Relax & Unwind /Pool,Games,Beach & Cairns Nearby
Such a beautiful home—so well-equipped to cook practically anything! They thoughtfully provided prepared packets of milk for our little ones, knowing we were arriving late. The sparkling juice in the fridge as a welcome gesture was such a lovely touch. The kids absolutely loved the game room, and the little ones were kept entertained with plenty of markers and books. We also loved the fairy lights along the fence and the blue-lit pool—it created such a relaxing vibe, especially with the pool bed perfect for just chilling. Overall, we truly appreciated the warm hospitality and quick responses. A wonderful stay!

Bluewater Beach House
Beverley's place was very accommodating for our large family 6 Adults, 3 Kids. The Airbnb is very well furnished and large enough for all 9 of us to manoeuvre around the premises with ease. Beautifully presented both inside & out, backyard garden is beautiful & relaxing. The bed configurations (2x Kings, 1 Queen, 3 Single) easily sufficed for our group. The kids had a ball in the pool, whilst the adults could enjoy the view of the backyard. Would definitely recommend to larger groups.

Mountain View Newley Renovated Home with a Deck
We enjoyed our stay well. This house is located in a quiet area but only around 10 minutes drive to city center and Cairns pier. The 3 bed rooms are very good for us. The huge deck looks very nice in spite we didn’t have time to enjoy barbecue. In spite there was some issue on the first day, but it was solved in a reasonable way, so we enjoyed our following 4 days’ stay very well.

Orchid Cottage
We had a lovely stay here at Amanda’s beautiful home! Quiet location only thing is you can hear the neighbours quite a lot in the night (not sure if they are connected?). Location is slightly away from the city centre but nothing we didn’t know before booking it! Beautifully clean and a gorgeous massive space and Amanda was really good with communication when we had a change of plan and needed to stay an extra night! Overall 5 stars- we loved our time here!

Stoney Treehouse | Luxury Cairns Rainforest Escape
Wow! What a stunning place! From the moment of booking we were so excited to stay here as the photos were beautiful and reviews so positive. And we were not disappointed! Clean, with every you could think of or need, it ticks all of the boxes. Definitely recommended and we will be hoping to stay here once again when we come back to Cairns sometime in the future.

Tropical Escape Redlynch Valley
Great stay, incredible views surrounding the place, easy to check in and out. Would come back here :)
