Tropical Beach Retreat

SachaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Had a lovely peaceful stay, felt right at home. Everything was clean and as described. The inside outside living is fabulous always being a perfect temperature. Annie had thought of everything even beach towels. She also helped us plan some great excursions that we would have known nothing about . We made a little friend while there a very cute green tree frog.

TIDE NINE YOUR ABSOLUTE BEACHFRONT APARTMENT

MathewRating, 5 stars8 months ago

A home away from home. An amazing place to stay. Judi and David made us feel truly at home and nothing was too much to ask. By the end of your stay they are friends rather than air bnb hosts. Everything you could ever need was in there. We would definitely visit here again.

Guesthouse in Edge Hill

Studio unit in Edge Hill

SarahRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Amanda’s cottage was very well set up and had all the details that make a stay feel special. The locations is excellent, I often stay in the centre of Cairns but it was much more pleasant to be in a suburb, lovely streets to walk around, great cafes and restaurants within a very short walk, excellent Lao Thai takeaway nearby. The kitchen has everything you need. The place is small but homely. I would definitely stay again.

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!

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.
