Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Great Barrier Reef

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.

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.

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!

Nice, quiet and spacious home to stay in Rockhampton! We loved our 6 nights stay and perfect place for us when visiting our son in Rocky!

Great place, great location, great communication from the host made for a relaxing and easy holiday

We had an amazing stay at Tanya’s beautiful 4-bedroom home in Port Douglas! The house was spacious, perfect for our family of four (including two teenagers), with plenty of room for everyone to relax. Having two lounge areas was a bonus, and the kitchen was great—it had everything we needed to cook our own meals after long days out. The pool was a highlight! It was exactly like the photos—sparkling clean and so inviting. Tanya gave us some excellent recommendations for restaurants and local attractions, which we found really helpful. One of our favourite tips was to take a morning walk along the stunning 4 Mile Beach, just a short stroll down the street. The location was ideal, situated on a quiet street but only a 5-minute drive to town. We had a rental car, so it was easy to come and go, and the peaceful surroundings made it feel like a retreat. We recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious, well-equipped home with a great pool in a quiet, convenient location. Thank you, Tanya.

The location was absolutely phenomenal and it did not disappoint in any way. The host were very gracious and we received a very warm welcome. The place was clean and well maintained. There were a lot of options for entertainment and we really enjoyed kayaking and playing pool and spending time by the fire pit. All queries were promptly answered and overall we really recommend staying here.

Beautiful stay. This was the perfect spot for our family trip after a few days exploring the Whitsundays. We particularly enjoyed the refreshing pool and BBQ. Emma was responsive and helpful throughout our time here. Highly recommend. Thank you!

The stay at Cameroon’s place wa good. He took of all the small things that we might need. The place was also clean. We also enjoyed the swimming pool in the apartment complex and the kids had a great time there.

Exceptional property in Cairns! The property looks and is exactly as described in the listing. Excellent location right next to Trinity Beach as well as within driving distance to all major Cairns attractions - Skyrail Cable Car to Kuranda, Port Douglass, Cairns Marina. Shan is a very responsive host and did everything in his power to make our stay truly enjoyable. This will definitely be our recommendation as well as our base every time we visit Cairns! Thanks Shan! :)

Lovely little unit that is close to the heart of Cairns whilst maintaining privacy away from the hustle and bustle. It was clean on arrival and easy to find everything to utilise, great base to come back to after a day of exploring the beauty of Cairns. Azusa was very responsive and friendly too. I would rebook and recommend to others.

Great Place, perfect for what I needed.

Sure! Here’s a polished version that’s quick, clear, and positive — perfect Bexley’s place was the perfect spot for our 4-day stay in Cairns. It was clean, comfortable, and better equipped than we expected. The location was great — close to restaurants, shops, and an easy walk to the beach. After 4 weeks of travel through New Zealand and Australia, this was the ideal place to relax and wrap up our trip. Bexley was friendly, easy to communicate with, and very responsive. Highly recommend!

Justine's place is spacious, comfortable, nicely decorated and conveniently located a short walk from the Esplanade and not far from the airport (although it is very quiet and we didn't hear any airplane noise). The beds and pillows were comfy and the showers worked well. It was very hot when we were in Cairns (88 deg f), so we did benefit from the air conditioners. Everything was very clean and Justine communicated with us very well, proactively offering suggestions. I definitely recommend Justine's place.

Quiet and safe spot so close to the Strand and everything it has to offer. Yes it is an older place but it was super clean and great value for money. Would love to stay again. Great communication and flexibility when I needed to check in late. Has everything you need and you are one block from the ocean. Walkable to tons of coffee shops, restaurants and Coles.

We had a great stay here for 5 nights. As others have mentioned the mini bar is great, well priced and very useful. The apartment was extremely spacious and comfortable, the balcony lovely, and the pool was amazing despite the rain!! We hired a car, but it is close to Cairns and the airport and it is very easy to get Ubers. We enjoyed diving on the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree rainforest, Hartley's Croc Park and Cairns Aquarium. Alyssa and Aaron were great with communication and we were so pleased that we were able to have a late check out. We would definitely recommend staying here.

We loved our stay at Compass Point 5. Amazing view, watching the sunsets from the balcony was magic! Great location, easy to get to beach, shops and cafes. Apartment was well set out, worked well for our family of 5. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved staying at Leah’s place. It had a very warm and cozy feel and included everything we needed and more. The proximity to the sporting complex for our basketball tournament was perfect and we loved all the little extras Leah had for us including fruit, bread, and snacks. We look forward to staying here again later this year!

A beautiful and modern apartment with stunning views. All amenities were fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay. A cot was setup ready for our baby. Very minor note, the Wi-Fi across Bright Point is ok, but it can be unreliable, particularly in the evenings.

The unit had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was homey but not cluttered! Great location two blocks from the strand and right across the street from the botanic gardens. We walked to the water every morning and afternoons for coffees and swims. The unit’s air con worked great and we slept well. The shower was spacious and you can see castle hill from the window in the bathroom. Angels and Shaun were gracious and messaged us back quickly.

I had a great stay at Andrea’s place! The apartment was exactly as shown in the photos—modern, spotless, and felt quite new. It’s in a great location, making it easy to get around, and the area was nice and quiet. Everything was super clean and well-maintained. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Ideal location and very accessible (highly recommend for anyone using a wheelchair). Comfortable bed and great for a stay in Cairns. Lacking basic condiments (salt, pepper and oil) and basic supplies (garbage bags, tongs and chux)

Accomodation was beautiful! Perfect little spot, very close to the Main Street - walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay here and would 100% come back again!

This stay was perfect for family. Vanessa is a great host. She was very responsive and helpful, especially with flexibility regarding check in and check out timings. The apartment is tidy, clutter free, peaceful and has all the amenities one would need for several days of stay. I would love to visit again in future.. :)
