p a l m h o u s e • luxury beachside getaway
Whoa! What an amazing place to stay! Felt like our own little slice of paradise. Would recommend 100%. Enjoyable short walk to all that Palm Cove has to offer. Great place for a family vacay!

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.

Modern house with pool near Strand!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Magical Stay! From the moment we arrived, this Airbnb felt like something out of a dream. The setting was serene and beautiful, with lush surroundings that made us feel completely immersed in nature. It was almost like I imagined living in a fairy treehouse might feel. Very inspiring! The highlight? Besides the obvious shown in photos in ad - A family of frogmouth owls perched in the tree by the pool, adding an enchanting touch to our mornings and evenings. Don’t get me started on the incredible background noise of the little waterfall running into a stream that can be heard when relaxing on the back deck. 😍 The home itself was impressive, very thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Our host Wendy was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a stay that’s peaceful, unique, and filled with natural beauty, this is the place. We can’t wait to return!

Lorikeet Lodge-Panoramic views-private pool
Such a beautiful place to stay. All the ammenities and basic provisions you could require. Beautiful kitchen with all appliances.Fantastic TV.Great outlook. Very quiet and secluded and only minutes from the beach. Only a 5-8 minute drive to Montes Bar & Grill (beautiful scenery there) or Dingo Beach pub. You will have to ensure you take all food/drink supplies with you as the closest supermarket etc is at least 40 minutes away. I absolutely recommend this place as it is also pet friendly. Thanks Louise for a great stay in your beautiful home. Amanda

RETREAT ON JANZ cheerful 4BR home, pool/games room
We had a lovely stay at Retreat on Janz. The home was clean, cozy, and exceptionally well-stocked with everything we needed—from kitchen essentials to extra towels and toiletries. It made our stay so much more convenient and comfortable. The host was friendly and responsive, Highly recommend for anyone looking for a hassle-free and relaxing stay!

SPIRE - Palm Cove Luxury
The photos were already promising, but the house is even better. We instantly felt at home and everything was spotlessly clean and very tastefully furnished. The layout of the house is really cool, with high ceilings and a plunge pool which is right outside of the living room. We loved the open plan kitchen and the kids the big TV screen :-). The neighbourhood is very peaceful, we had no noise whatsoever that disturbed us. It's a short walk to the beach and promenade with lots of shops and restaurants. Totally convenient. Nadia was an outstanding host, very quick to respond and also flexible when we wanted to extend our stay. There is so much to do in this region and we would have loved to stay longer. It really felt like home away from home. Thanks for everything!

Lazenby Lodge - Stunning Private Pool
Beautiful home, in a great location walking distance to cafes, restaurants and the botanic gardens. Clean, comfortable, lovely pool. Easy check in process and flexible too. We really enjoyed our stay here and couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend!

Casa Palma
We've been travelling around Australia for 3 months and feel this was our favorite place to stay in all of our time here. The home was stunning. Very comfortable and private, it was all you could ask for and more. It was a mere 185 steps to the beach (it was right across the street!) and just a few blocks away on the same street were some amazing restaurants, cafes and shops. They were easily accessible but far enough away that you couldn't hear any music or noise. In fact, the only thing we could hear from the house was the wind blowing through the trees or birds chirping. The home was stunning, modern, pristine and Deborah was a fantastic host. It really couldn't have been better and it was difficult to leave.
Weekly house rentals

Absolute Beachfront, Corner Todd Ave and Kean St.
The property is ideally located in walking distance of the beach. The extensive grounds make you feel somewhere special with a lovely veranda looking over the garden towards the sea. Check-in was very flexible and easy.

Beach holidays like they used to be
Had a great experience staying at Jonnies. Whether you are looking for work stay or for a large family. This is the place for you. It has the house and a granny flat it has ample parking space a great little outdoor bbq area. Very close to all the shops and pub. Always beach is a 5minute wonder down the road. Relaxed and quiet environment and a great fishing spot not too far. Would highly recommend this spot, if I am ever in the area again or we do another project up here this will be the 1st place I will book.

Great accommodation with an awesome view. Would stay here again next time I visit the area. Megan was a wonderful host.

Bucasia Beach Family Accommodation
The family and i had a great stay. Very child safe so my partner and i didnt have to worry about the kids hurting themselves, leaving more time to relax! Thanks guys!

Beachfront Studio Apartment - 1 bedroom
As soon as i had my booking confirmed, Carol was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Extremely friendly, helpful and responded almost immediately, regardless of the question. She went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. Wish I was staying for pleasure, instead of work, would have loved to enjoy some quiet time on the front patio, taking in the views. But was fantastic to sleep with the window open after a long day at work, falling asleep to the sounds of the waves and fresh sea air Would definitely stay here again if I had the chance. Thanks again for your hospitality Carol.

The Sunrise Surfhouse - Sunrise at 1770
The Surfhouse was amazing and the location is unbelievable. The shared facilities were 5 star, I don't think you will find a better swimming pool. We loved how relaxing the house is and how peaceful the bush surrounding was. The outside BBQ/Kitchen and dining area is a great ammenity and we ended up using it every night! Can't recommend this place enough.

On the edge of the Daintree at Cooya.
Jules and her husband both were really welcoming and had the house ready for us when we arrived. Absolutely family friendly house and thoughtful amenities considering kids specifically. Overall it matched our expectations and good value for money. It made our stay memorable.Once again thank you Jules for your hospitality!!!

Samsara Holiday House includes Wi-Fi
My husband & I have stayed on Magnetic Island many times & always love it -Eleanor’s beautiful home was new to us. So peaceful sitting on one of several balconies watching/listening to teeming wildlife in the surrounding National Park. The house itself is fabulous with a lovely ambience. Having had a minor accident (not in the house!) I needed to rest an ankle for a couple of days - being in such a lovely situation holiday was not spoiled as it was a pleasure to just chill out in the house. Eleanor was a perfect host and I wish to thank her for letting us stay at Samsara.
