Thanks Robbie, we had a lovely time relaxing in this space. Perfect for a private getaway, only 10 minutes from Kuranda. Lovely to get some one on one time with a partner, and just relax in nature.

Queen, lounge, sep bathroom, spa in country home

CharlotteRating, 5 stars14 months ago
Perfect weekend getaway. Sarah and Clint were so welcoming and kind. Pristine facilities and situated in a beautiful location, just out of Yeppoon but a very short drive. Myself and my dog stayed for two nights and it was wonderful. Sarah goes above and beyond to make her guests feel at home. The room was clean, comfy and homey! It was the perfect area to relax and de-stress. As a younger female, I really felt welcomed, safe and at home staying with Sarah and Clint. I will definitely be back, it is great to know there is this accomodation available for the future - bonus is it is pet friendly!! Thank you x 100 for the lovely stay!!

The house is very comfortable. Great beds and pillows. There is good security and a backyard that was perfect for our dog. The air conditioning is very good and the house is screened to keep out tropical bugs.

Hughes Hideaway – Central, Peaceful & Pet Friendly

PaigeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This stay is nothing short of phenomenal! Having two small children, and two dogs, it’s hard to find somewhere that safely houses the entire family and still affords creature-comforts. The home itself is so comfortable - every little detail has been considered, from delicious coffee, to board games, and even a welcome pack! Everything that could make this place home, has been included. Outside is so peaceful and spacious, perfect for sipping a coffee on the deck while kids & critters run and play out in the yard. Our toddler particularly enjoyed the huge array of birdlife that visited every morning! Adding to the family-friendly considerations, our host provided a bed-rail for our toddler to keep him safe, and plastic dinnerware for worry-free dinners. Location is the cherry on top. So central to Yeppoon yet feels like a rainforest retreat. Would recommend this stay over any other place we’ve been to in Yeppoon - such a lovely getaway. 🤍 Thank you Alister & Sheena!

Staying at Marco’s Airbnb was an absolute pleasure! Marco was incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful from the moment we booked until the end of our stay. Communication was smooth and easy, and he made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The home itself is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully designed—you can really tell that care has been put into every detail. It felt welcoming and peaceful, the perfect place to relax and unwind. Highly recommend Marco’s place for anyone looking for a wonderful stay with a host who truly goes above and beyond!

Beach Shack w/ Tiki Bar – Walk to Sand & Sea

AliciaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Melissa is a great host, and her home is the perfect home away from home. We were given early check in and was also able to book another night with late notice. The home in Boynoe Island feels like home as soon as you walk in. From the takeaway coffee cups to the chopped wood for the fire pit. It's a short walk to the sound of the ocean and fresh ocean breeze!

Chic Sugar Shack- Port Douglas

JohnRating, 5 stars5 months ago
The Sugar Shack is a charming and truly comfortable oasis of calm and beauty convenient to much of what the Port Douglas and surrounding region has to offer. Everything about the shack is as described, clean, functional and easy to use. Importantly at this time of the year (December) when the heat and humidity have kicked in the shack is easily cooled. No surprises. Great atmospheric views of the mountains and plenty of interesting bird life around the property. Beautiful creek with clear water. An additional bonus was being able to bring along our young retriever and watch her enjoy the freedom of the well-kept paddocks and the security of a fenced cottage garden around the shack. Delicious eggs from their contented hens too! Kylie (who met us) and Nicki were efficient and friendly and very helpful with their local knowledge and the entire experience was very welcoming. Great hosts!

Whitsunday Cane Cutters Cottage

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 months ago
It is a pleasure to write a 5 star review for Suzette’s cottage. Staying in the cottage was like taking a step back in time, yet it had everything I needed. The attention to detail, both in the house and the surrounding gardens is impressive. Very private and peaceful setting, clean and very friendly host. Would love to come back if visiting in the area again.

Feathers 'n' Friends Cottage - Rainforest Retreat

GeorgeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We spent 3 nights at Richard and Wendy’s cottage, and it was perfect for us - we are avid birders and this was a fantastic location to explore the local hotspots, and even the property itself and the road were very productive for us. Very quiet, super relaxing and very well equipped - would totally recommend

Bali Ha'i - hidden island gem

NilsRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We absolutely loved our stay at Jill’s Cottage — it was our favorite accommodation of the trip! Located on a quiet, private road shaded by trees, the cottage is just a short stroll from the beach and feels like a true island retreat. We spent our evenings on the veranda. The setting is peaceful and very private, perfect for relaxing. Ben, the co-host, was there to greet us on arrival and made check-in smooth and easy. We would come back in a heartbeat!
