Dreamcatcher: Hampton Style Rainforest Guesthouse
Lovely little stay! The little touches like fresh bread and milk were such a perfect addition and very appreciated. Nice and private and the hosts were excellent. Highly recommend!

Jade Vine Lodge.
This was my second 10-night stay at Jade Vine Lodged hosted by Steve. Accommodation is very well-priced and has everything that one requires for a stay in a peaceful location within short driving distance to the other beaches. One will wake to the sounds of wildlife, have cassowaries visit the grounds daily, and walk on nearby beaches (Garners Beach and Brookes Beach) with not another sole around. Steve is super friendly and happily shares his knowledge of things to see and do in Mission Beach and the surrounding area. Personally, Garners Beach is well situated for someone who not only wanted to spend time locally but also wishes to venture south, west and north of Mission Beach. A stay at Jade Vine Lodge is highly recommended. I will definitely return another time soon. Thank you Steve, Kay.

pretty part of the world with ocean & garden views
Such a lovely house and we feel really cozy. There also has amazing ocean view. By the way Kieran is a really cool musician and we came across his live show at the bar.

Open Door
Cilla’s Open Door was just lovely. It was sparkling clean and spacious and had every amenity we required for our four nights. Probably the most comfortable bed we have experienced in an Air BnB. The location was good, close to the Qantas museums and the Stockman’s Hall of Fame. It was a flat walk into town if feeling energetic. We had the pleasure of meeting Cilla and Robert. We loved staying and would highly recommend it for comfort and excellent value for money.

Daintree Cascades The Roundhouse
The photos don’t actually do this place justice - far more beautiful. We stayed two nights but I’d recommend three at least. It’s close to everything you’ll want to do in the Daintree. The creek was awesome, great temperature for cooling off and comes stocked with a hand sized turtle. Ali and James were super friendly and responsive. We only met James in person and he was great. Gave us tips for things to do and was just a brilliant dude. We’d recommend this for anyone heading to the rainforest.

Our slice of tropical paradise!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is immaculate and very thoughtfully provisioned with breakfast supplies, coffee machine and delicious home-baked shortbread. It is very quiet and peaceful and the bed is very comfortable. David and Sandra’s Air Bnb is a home away from home.

Butterfly Studio, Whitsundays
Absolutely beautiful and so elegant, would definitely come back to stay and highly recommend.

Karingal Cabin Retreat
Cute little Cabin on the Hill. Clean and Tidy, nice host. Private out of town location.

Pinky's Retreat - Adorable escape set in the bush
This was a great place to stay to break a long distance trip. It was quite isolated which was just what we wanted. Loved walking around the large property and meeting the animals. Dawn’s extra touches of home made scones with home made jam & cream, home grown honey and wine were a lovely bonus. Thank you Dawn for your wonderful hospitality

Daintree - House with a view
Ja, waar te beginnen… Dit is zo’n parel van een huis, daar moet je absoluut naartoe. Wat een waanzinnig mooie plek, en wat een heerlijk huis. Het is ruim, súperschoon, met een goed gevulde keuken en een buitendouche waar je alleen maar van kunt dromen. ‘s Ochtends met een kopje koffie en de verrekijker vanaf het balkon kijkend naar al het moois. Het is een fantastische uitvalsbasis voor The Daintree, met goede tips van host Karen. En ook met kind echt top: onze vierjarige vond het een feest om hier te zijn. Wij genieten nog heel lang na van deze mooie ervaring!

Haven Guesthouse backs onto peaceful bushland.
Perfect location near our family. Peaceful surroundings and accommodation had everything we needed for our four- night stay. Annette is a superb host.

ELK & FIR Lodge *breakfast included
We absolutely loved our stay at LK & FIR Lodge! The place is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and feels like a true escape into nature. The room was cozy and spotless, with lovely details that made us feel right at home. Breakfast was a real highlight, fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The hosts were welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway.

Hill View Guesthouse
Thanks Regina for having us at your most beautiful clean place . we were down for the weekend for children's netball & soccer carnivals. We didn't want to stay in the city. Regina's place is perfectly located. so clean & tidy. had everything you need. The children loved the space & the adorable donkey's.

Coastal Breeze on Eshelby
We spent a couple nights at Bri‘s place and had a wonderful time! The apartment was nice and clean and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed having our breakfast at the breakfast bar while enjoying the amazing view. Can definitely recommend!

Adorable cabin with views
Came back for more and loved it! Such a beautiful, peaceful place! As repeat customer I was treated with fresh eggs and dried mango :) Thank you for having us once more Jenny!

Ulysses Landing
We had a wonderful weekend at Ulysses Landing! Ian and Rochelle were excellent hosts, communication was great and they were very welcoming to our (slightly naughty) dogs! The garden was absolutely stunning with beautiful tropical plants, and it was such a relief to have the dogs running about knowing they couldn't get into too much trouble! It was a bit drizzly all weekend but the decking was sheltered so we could still have our BBQ and drinks in the evening under the fairy lights. Lots of lovely walks nearby. We'd love to come back another time to explore more!

Cosy 1 bedroom unit
Clean and comfortable apartment, felt like a home. Beautiful surroundings with the botanical gardens a short walk away, as well as a variety of restaurants, and close to the airport. Host was easy to communicate with, responsive, and was able to accommodate an earlier check-in time.

Lakes Edge - Studio
Gina’s Lakes Edge property is modern, well appointed, located on an arm of a large lake, amazing setting. ideally suited for those who like nature, bird life is abundant. Guests need their own transport, few kilometres from Yungaburra township..

Self contained 2 bedroom unit with views.
Alan and Lou were nice to chat to and gave us some good local information. Their place is lovely. It’s well equipped, comfortable and with smashing views. We loved watching the birds going about their daily business from the veranda. A bonus was the washing machine which we used several times. We went to Yorkeys Knob for the beach and BBQ and we also had a day out on the Atherton tablelands which is very pretty. We would love to return to Alan’s and Lou’s place again.

Garden Retreat with Pool - fully detached Studio
I had another fantastic stay at Jennifer's place. I love everything about it, the location, ample space, peace and quiet, awesome bed and linen, great kitchen and shower. Lovely private pool and deck area. My favourite accommodation in Cairns. Thanks for hosting me again, Jennifer!

This is Trinity beach
We absolutely loved Michelle’s place and hope to stay again in the future! The house is cozy and comfortable, with a wonderful back deck. Kangaroos everywhere which was such a treat, and the pools are clean and well cared for. Michelle was an incredible host and communicated every step of the way. 10/10 recommend!

Mountain View Tropical Retreat - Cassowary Coast
Absolutely gorgeous stay at Mountain View Tropical Retreat, couldn’t have had a better experience here. Ceri was a wonderful host and we felt very welcomed and looked after. So easy to access the house, find everything we needed and chill out straight away. Definitely recommend and we will surely be back again soon! Check this one out!

Large Absolute City Centre Apartment w. Free Wifi
Place was great. Clean and tidy, matched the photos and descriptions. Location was great

Townsville Tropical Retreat
This is the best value for money Air bnb I have experienced. High quality furnishings and fittings and artistic touches. Plenty of extras like games and books. The beautiful gardens feel like a secluded rainforest retreat, lots of birds. Really enjoyed the coffee machine. Lovely, helpful hosts.
