The service and friendliness of people in Cairns and the surrounding areas was the best we’ve ever experienced—truly exc
Pros:

Great location, close to everything we needed. The property was clean, comfortable, and well presented. Easy check-in process and overall a relaxing place to stay. It made the holiday very enjoyable

Cons:

Very little to fault. A couple of minor things could be improved, but nothing that affected our stay in any meaningful way.

A few tweaks and it would be a great stay
Pros:

The views were great, good communication with host, parking

Cons:

Minimum amenities in bathroom, no hand soap, not enough towels, one tiny tube of shampoo. Instructions to clean rubbish bins, clean surfaces and wash and put away dishes, otherwise we would be charged extra. This has never happened to me in all my years travelling. There were plenty of cleaning products. As a guest, it is nice to be treated as such.

Wonderful stay, would visit again.
Pros:

Stuart and Tony were great hosts, the apartment was in lovely condition, very clean and airy and light. The location was great with lovely sea views (and afternoon sea breeze). There was enough room for two people without feeling like you're in each others' space all the time. Would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

Nothing.

Kangaroos Out Back!
Pros:

The condo was spacious with beautiful views of the ocean and kangaroos in the backyard. A scenic pedestrian path outside the condo connects Clifton Beach with Palm Cove and nearby areas with restaurants, art gallery, etc. Our hosts had great communication and made us feel at home.

Very Happy with our stay
Pros:

We recieved a warm welcome.
The apartment was spacious, bright, quiet, clean and well equipped.
The location is great, just a short drive from Cairns. We also used the public bus which was free at the time with a regular service into Cairns and Palm Cove. The bus stop is literally next door.
We had a beautiful view of the beach through the Palm trees and it was lovely to sit out on the balcony and listen to the birds.
Public spaces are clean and cared for.
There is so much to see and do in the surrounding area and a good choice of restaurants in Palm Cove.
It was lovely to see the Kangaroos at the back of the property and have a shaded area for parking.
We would definitely recommend and stay again.
It was good value for money.

Cons:

Slight musty/damp smell in kitchen cupboards.

Ein super grosses, sehr sauberes und liebevoll eingerichtetes Apartment! Es hat einfach an nichts gefehlt. Es hat sich einiges zum positiven geändert seit wir vor 2 Jahren das letzte Mal hier waren. Und wir sind wieder total begeistert !!

Peaceful and relaxing
Pros:

Beautiful location, directly opposite the beach and paved walking track . Much quieter area than Palm Cove . Apartment was spotlessly clean and smelt so fresh when we first opened up the door .In the fridge was a complimentary chilled bottle of Prosecco - greatly appreciated and enjoyed on the balcony taking in the view. Tony and Stuart were both very friendly and helpful ,
but in no way intrusive

Cons:

No complaints
