Accessible Queen with Single
Great place for a great price, definitely recommend! The cutlery were slightly dirty but we were provided with all the necessary soaps and tools to clean them. The location is somewhat convenient, but everything is around a 20-30 minute walk away. There is a bus stop which will take you to beaches. The room itself was clean, some dust but manageable, the bathroom were clean and amenities were provided.

Best Of Both: Close to beaches and venues.
A rainforest retreat is how I see Melissa's. We loved the lounge room outside, it was comfortable and cool. Outside is a beautiful area. The bed was comfortable and we had all that we needed.

Sharlynn by the River S/C Cabin
Lovely cabin backing onto the rainforest and river. John was the perfect host, gave a fiendly tour around the property then we returned to the cabin with fresh hot cross buns waiting for us. They have obviously given a lot of thought into everything that we might need or want to make our stay as comfortable as possible because it was all there, and some. The area was a post card and it was so nice to come back to such a well appointed little cabin in the forest after a day of exploring the tablelands.

Bella Vista Cottage
We have a wonderful stay at Bella Vista. The location is stunning-rain,hail or shine. It had all we needed for a three day stay.

Tablelands Guest House
Wonderful location and property! We can't wait to go back. James and Elisa were lovely, helpful and attentive. Thanks for a great stay.

Stegosaurus Garden - Tropical Getaway with Spa
Super beautiful location. My weekend was spectacular from Babinda Boulders to this beautiful little home. It was small but so comfortable. I was able to spend quality time bonding with my friends, having a shared dinner and some drinks. The hosts were so lovely and communicated everything clearly.

Secluded Guesthouse minutes to Airport and Cairns
Perfect little private location. Very central to all, great amenities. Host I'd great communicator and very thorougher

'Birds on the Creek' Studio
Lovely private and peaceful space with great hosts! Very nice spot with birds, wallabies, sound of the water in the creek. Very peaceful and relaxing, lits of good hikes and things to do around. Thanks for a great stay!

Haven Guesthouse backs onto peaceful bushland.
Had a wonderful stay, friendly host and beautiful place to stay and see cairns. Highly recommend staying here.

Tropical Paradise Villa
We really loved this place, which we found removed from the hustle and bustle of downtown Cairns, while still being walkable to a variety of restaurants (we particularly enjoyed the food at NOA) as well as the local botanical garden with its own public rainforest.

River Retreat - Air con, WiFi, firepit & views!
We had a wonderful time and Greg and Lisa’s! It was so peaceful and the surroundings were just so beautiful! We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back again! Highly recommend it.

Adorable 1 bedroom self contained granny flat
Comfortable, spacious and in a quiet location. This fully self-contained unit is well set up and the host has provided basically everything you might need to enjoy your stay. The three pet dogs and cat will regularly be present at the front and back doors, curious as to who you are and seeking a bit of attention. They are all very friendly and the dogs will make a point of barking to let the host know if they spot you moving around outside the unit. It was nice to find a tap in the kitchen for filtered water and I found it really improved the taste of the standard tap water. It isn't obvious from the photos but the host family live in an adjoining house separated from this unit by just a small gravel walkway on the other side of the wall where your bed is situated. The host will give you complete privacy but due to the proximity you inevitably will occasionally hear some of what the family is doing next door. Kim & Mick are super friendly and very helpful if you have any concerns.

Sunbird house - a cheerful 3 broom house with pool
Great stay at Diane and Perry's place. They were incredibly kind. They are always available and responsive. The accommodation is very cute, very clean. The outdoor terrace with the pool are a real plus. I highly recommend it!

Trinity Sunset Stay
Photos don’t do it justice

Lorensen Lodge
A lovely, spacious home to spend some time with the family. Tucked at the back end of the property, we had plenty of privacy for chats and laughs without worrying that we would be a noisy nuisance. Two large dining tables for the choice of indoor or outdoor family meals. Location-wise, Malanda is centrally located in the Tablelands. My retired father had a good time cycling around the area. We enjoyed our weekend here. Recommended!

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..

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!

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.

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!

Seabrook Beach Cottage
Great place for our family of 4, comfortable beds, lovely new bathrooms, spacious living. Walkable to beach and a couple of cafes/restaurant’s nearby. Katie and family were very helpful and proactive. Thank you
