Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Great Barrier Reef

Our accommodation was absolutely amazing. Truly the description and photos do not really reflect the quality of the home.Of all the Airbnb’s we have stayed in over a thirty year period this would have to have been the most amazing. Of particular note was the communication and support that we received. We experienced a problem with the barbecue supplied and within minutes of reporting the issue we received a sincere apology with a technician to resolve the problem immediately. Never have we experienced this level of customer support and quality service.I can only recommend this location. The home is fantastic and the level of customer service is beyond amazing!A massive thank you to the team!

Perfect location, beachfront home that had everything we needed for a short stay. Clean house with all the essentials. Great communication from host. Thank you.

What an amazing place, we had such a fun time! The views are amazing, lovely plunge pool to cool off when it got hot overlooking the rainforest. Pool table and darts to keep us all entertained in the evening. Enough hammocks, swing chairs and couches for everyone to find a spot to relax. Plenty of wildlife about, lots of new critters us Melbournians had never seen before, our 7 year old loved it! We went and explored a few things while we were here but we could have honestly just as easily spent the entire time just enjoying ourselves at the property. Absolutely a little slice of paradise Dean has created, also props to him for his communication and making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.

Very nice relaxing quiet place. Julie looked after us well even providing 6 nice fresh eggs from her chickens. Would recommend.

Erina's place is a beautiful 1 bedroom Villa, that has everything we needed for our stay. It was pretty convenient to shops and restaurants.

Thank you for an unforgettable stay, Jillian! Seascapes was such a peaceful place to be and my partner and I felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. I really appreciated all the little touches of home that you have made throughout the house. I had the best sleep of my life with the fresh air and soothing sounds of the rainforest, and it was just lovely to feel so isolated yet a short drive from some great attractions in the Daintree. Also, I need to buy myself a hammock now! I could have stayed in that hammock on the verandah with the ocean view for days on end haha. Thank you again for providing a welcome escape to nature.

First time in Mission Beach and didn’t want to leave. Deborah’s place was absolutely beautiful, we were also provided with fresh fruit and bread condiments and coffee on arrival. The location was perfect, car was not required. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! We will definitely be back.

Everything was amazing! 10/10 would recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at Toni's place. Had plenty of amenities; was clean and comfy for our stay. Extra effort was put in on wall murals' and other decor which gave Toni's place a nice extra touch. Nice beach a short walk away and plenty to do within driving range of Toni's place. We would definitely book and stay at Toni's place again.

Michael is a fantastic host. Having stayed at hibiscus for over 8 years it’s honestly a beautiful spot. You’ll love it

It had everything we needed for our stay. We also enjoyed one meal at the Ramada restaurant, as well as one evening swim which was very pleasant. Best to have a car to get around.

Loved my stay here! A well appointed guest-room, including a great spa bath, separate kitchen/dining area, within a very short distance to the beachfront, cafes & shops. I highly recommend, and would definitely return to Reef Retreat if ever up this way again.

We had a fabulous 3 night stay at Shan’s place, and wish we had booked longer! Shan provided easy to follow information, and everything was exactly as described. Extremely clean and comfortable! A lot more spacious than we expected, and my border collie had lots of space to relax and enjoy the beautiful breeze on the balcony..he was very happy! The rain head shower was amazing!! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook or order in, with quality fittings. The location is perfect, and we felt very secure in this lovely building and surrounds. We had plenty of off street parking, which is a great help. We are definitely visiting again soon and highly recommend Shan’s place for a relaxing and comfy stay! Thanks Shan!

This apartment was exactly as described in a lovely tropical resort. Room was spotlessly clean. Host was very friendly and always responsive. Would recommend this home to anyone.

Daniel is very helpful. He also accomodated our late check out request which is much appreciated.

Absolutely Perfect Stay! I had an amazing time at this Airbnb – it was everything I hoped for and more. The place is private, peaceful, and beautifully set up. Leah was an incredible host – so warm, welcoming, and genuinely lovely to deal with. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The space had everything you could need and then some! I honestly can’t wait to stay there again. Highly recommend!

Angela's place was fantastic, location was great, and everything was clean and all layed out very easily. Would happily stay there again.

I had a wonderful stay at Andrea’s apartment at 201 Lake Street, Cairns. The place was clean, well-furnished, and very comfortable—perfect for a relaxing visit. It had everything I needed for a great stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, laundry facilities, Wi-Fi, a comfortable bed, and a modern bathroom. The building also had a pool and secure parking, which were great bonuses. The location is fantastic—just a short walk to the Esplanade, restaurants, shops, and the marina. Andrea was very easy to deal with—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout the booking and stay. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cairns.

Great location highly recommend to anyone. Skye was great to communicate wit

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. It felt like home. We had everything we needed and more. We can definitely recommend this place if you are looking to stay in Cairns.

Great place to stay inside a good resort. Bec’s place was everything we expected, quiet room and location, good space, spa was great and shower had pressure like you never see. Would be back again no worries !

The apartment is fantastic, extremely clean and equipped with anything we needed. We particularly appreciated the Nespresso machine, and the pantry well stocked with Nespresso pods (our favourite flavours!). The building is clean and safe. Andrew has been a great host, and has been consistently in touch with us throughout our stay. He even offered us a late check out at no extra charge! We will definitely book this property again, should we come back to Cairns!
