TIDE NINE YOUR ABSOLUTE BEACHFRONT APARTMENT

MathewRating, 5 stars8 months ago
A home away from home. An amazing place to stay. Judi and David made us feel truly at home and nothing was too much to ask. By the end of your stay they are friends rather than air bnb hosts. Everything you could ever need was in there. We would definitely visit here again.

KevinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Scott and Kris were great communicators and checked in with us to make sure we were ok. The suite is in the most fantastic location and the patio was outstanding. It was easy to get in and out of and most everything was within walking distance.

Cairns Waterfront Luxury at Harbourlights

SallyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
I booked Carolyn's apartment for my husband and son who were in Cairns for a fishing charter. They said the view was stunning and the location of the apartment was perfect being right next door to the marina. With a pool and restaurants on the ground level, everything was easy access. The apartment was beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable with everything needed for a great stay in Cairns. Carolyn the host was very helpful with her instructions for getting access and keys - all very straightforward. Carolyn thoughtfully had air con and fans running in the apartment before my husband and son arrived - it was much appreciated with the Cairns heat.

Luxury Stay on the Waterfront. 3 bedroom apartment

MarkRating, 5 stars1 week ago
What a great stay, I particularly wanted to comment on the little touches that you don’t get very often but make a stay feel like home, there was a loaf of bread and some spreads for breakfast the first day supplied, there was plenty of sauce, salt, pepper, there was all the food wraps as well as sandwich bags, it’s those little touches that make all the difference, even the fact that the cutting knife’s were sharp and there was 2 frypans, 2 chopping boards, everything was excellent and Liz even provided shopping bags, what a legend…

Amphora 3 Bedroom Oceanfront Penthouse 631

NinonRating, 5 stars2 days ago
the place was lovely, literally right across the beach. the only thing was that the restaurant next to it was quite noisy and thats where our unit was. however, everything else, especially the pool, was amazing and we would recommend it.

SuzanneRating, 5 starstoday
This location and unit would be hard to beat! From the moment we walked through the front door we were captivated by the view… it included a bit of everything- from the marina, the horizon, greenery and the ferris wheel.. not forgetting the fireworks display on Friday night which was a lovely surprise..

The Peony Isle—Luxe Lakeside Haven with Pool & Spa

AnnetteRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had the most wonderful stay at Trinity Beach. The house was spectacular, everything was as desceibed and more. There was so much to keep the kids occupied that they were reluctant to leave the house at times. The beds were very comfortable, plenty of pillows and extra throws. It was still very warm and humid at times in Cairns but the aircon kept us all cool along with the lovely breezes in the afternoon and evening. The kitchen was well supplied with lost of extra basics in the pantry. There was every type of appliance which made cooking a breeze. The bathrooms were well stocked with a lovely selection of shampoo, conditioner and body wash (Large Bottles not those skimpy one use only containers which I hate). The laundry was great, a big clean front loading washing machine and dryer plus a clothes line under cover and well supplied with washing powder too. The pool and the spa were what attracted us to the property and were a great sucess with all, will definetly come here again.

A beautiful location with the sea just outside! Sunrises are superb. Shame you can’t swim in the sea due to the crocs.

Kuranda Rainforest House

KealohaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We just finished up an amazing 1.5 weeks at Renee's beautiful place. We're a family of 4 (2 teenagers, 2 adults) and this house was perfect! We had enough room to spread out but also great common areas to share meals, conversation and games. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking - dishes, many different appliances, pots/pans as well as basic staples like olive oil. The outdoor spaces were lovely; the landscaping is beautiful and the large deck became our favorite place to hang out and watch the river, butterflies and birds. The layout was great for us - two of the bedrooms are connected to the main house via the deck so it gave everyone their own space. We had a chance to go swimming in the river which our kids loved. We arrived to Cairns very early & Renee was gracious enough to allow us to check in early which we appreciated after 28hrs of travel! We would definitely stay here again - we were sorry to leave!

The Beach House

TomRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We were lucky to stay at this beautiful beach house on very short notice after other accommodation fell through. Nicola was quick to respond and helped us get into the house within 30 minutes of contact. when we arrived the place was pristine with a lovely homey feel and decor that suited it's tropical beachfront location. Kitchen was extremely well stocked with thoughtful touches like included oils, sauces and washing up material. nothing worse than a stingy host! The back deck was lovely to sit on with views of their very secluded beachfront, it felt like our own personal beach! plenty of room for the 5 of us with a great pool to chill out in. Thanks for having us!

Oceans Edge beach front home on Holloways beach

RosieRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had such a nice time at this beautiful home. The house is beach front so kids swam days and nights, changing from pool to beach and vice versa. Supermarkets is within 10m drive. Kylie is super kind and very quick in response. Great place and worth every dollar!

Drift Beachfront Resort Suite 2409

MelissaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Thank you for a beautiful stay. The staff were very responsive & waiting for us upon arrival. Balcony overlooks the pool, spa + has ocean glimpses through the trees. It was very relaxing sitting up there, watching the sunset & sunrise. The rooms are maintained well for the age with extra touches like rolled towels, hand cream, soap etc. The kitchen has a pods machine, small dishwasher, double hotplates, microwave. Note no oven. The washing machine, dryer, and towel rack were very handy to ensure dry swimming items. The bedrooms are seperated by glass, offering limited privacy. However, both the rooms have balcony views. Overall, we had a wonderful time. We especially enjoyed swimming in the large lagoon style swimming pool, surrounded by picturesque tropical grounds.

Trinity Beach Tropical Hideaway

MeenakshiRating, 5 stars5 months ago
A sprawling home with great views. Kitchen was fabulous. The bedrooms and bathrooms were top notch. The patio area had comfortable seating. Even though the place is a part of a small group of apartments, it felt totally private. Covered car park was a bonus. Hosts are super responsive and helpful. One reaches the place through two flights of narrow stairs. It may be difficult to carry large luggage or if you have mobility issues. Otherwise this is a dream vacation home
