Amphora - Family Friendly Spacious Unit
Absolutely wonderful week stay at Denis and Annes property. Everything was exactly as described. Clean, very comfortable and the facilities were excellent. Plenty of kitchen equipment, full washing facilities and the bathrooms were large. The beds were so comfortable! I highly recommend and we will definitely be back. On Palm Cove itself, the fishing was superb and a good variety of species to chase. The swim net was a area we used daily. Plenty of restaurants all within walking distance. I am so impressed with everything we have come across this week. Thank you to Denis and Anne for such a wonderful accommodation and allowing us to stay!

One Bedroom Oceanview Apartment Clifton Beach
Fabulous few days in a desirable location by the sea. Host was helpful, friendly and responsive. Would definitely visit again.

2BR Ground Floor Poolside LUX APT w/Terrace & BBQ
Thanks for a wonderful stay in your apartment Max & Leigh. Everything about the apartment was just perfect. Clean, modern, comfortable & in the best location within the resort. We will definitely be back for another holiday very soon.

Great Beach Front Apartment
We had a really relaxing holiday here after traveling with our kids through Indonesia. Great to experience the Great Barrier Reef und the rainforest.

Stunning 2-3 Bed Penthouse Gorgeous Ocean Views
Beautiful location and easy checkin. This place is also even bigger than you would expect. Beautiful view and easy access to beach. Of note there are 4 flights of start from parking to unit, not a problem for me but may be for some

ABSOLUTE STUNNING WATER VIEWS IN THE CITY
Kay was very helpful - she picked us up from the airport and took time to show us around the apartment. The apartment was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The location is excellent, handy for everything you need. There is a tour desk downstairs where you can book your activities. Overall, highly recommended.

1 Bedroom Superior Seaview Apartment
Our beach view apartment was clean and comfortable. We felt right at home. Bradley was responsive with answers for things to do and where to get the items we wanted for our stay. We found Ellis Beach where there is a very good local restaurant across the street. We went into Cairns for the Rusty Food Market, open Friday- Sunday and also found Preston Fresh Seafood where we purchased amazing seafood for almost every meal. Trinity Beach is only 20 minutes or so from the airport and less than an hour from Port Douglas for our snorkeling adventures. Daintree is just a bit further away. Trinity is quieter than some of the other places to stay. We spent a very relaxing 9 days there and if we ever venture back to the Great Barrier Reef, we'd be back. Definitely a perfect spot for us and recommend it highly!

Iconic Elevated Harbour Lights - 2 Bed Ocean Views
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..
Waterfront house rentals

Seabrook beach house
Loved it here. The pool was great! We spent a lot of time in it. Close to the shops and the beach!

Belle Escapes - Trinity Blue Oceanview Home
We had a wonderful stay at this Trinity Blue! The views were stunning, and the infinity pool was a real highlight as well as how quiet the surroundings were. Was perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The location was great, just a short walk to the beach and close to shops and restaurants in Trinity Beach. The home was clean, well-appointed, and very comfortable. We truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely return.

Private Paradise feature filled home on river
Michaels place was exactly as described. The house is absolutely beautiful and unique. The pool was a perfect way to cool off after the days adventuring and the location is perfect. I would definitely recommend staying at this property. But be sure to pack a heavy duty midge repellent as I was eaten alive.

Frangipani Beach House on absolute beachfront
Absolutely loved our 10 days at ‘Frangipani House’. We’ve stayed at many Airbnb’s & this one beats them all. Think absolute beachfront, amazing ocean views, private, coconut palms, gorgeous decor, heated pool, tropical garden, proximity to both world heritage listed Daintree rainforest & fabulous restaurants in Port Douglas.

Butterfly Bend- Luxury in the Rainforest
Staying at Butterfly bend was just amazing. Waking up in the middle of the rainforest is an amazing experience and so different to our usual city life. The creek at the bottom of the house was a great spot for the kids to explore a different part of the Daintree. Em was very helpful with local tips and experiences. We loved our stay.

Absolute Beachfront Family Home
What a wonderful airbnb!!! Perfect for our family, great set up, fully fenced for the dogs and my nephew. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, right across the beach. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a far North Queensland getaway without the Port Douglas hustle, bustle and price tag. Great location 5 minutes to Mossman and only 15 minutes to the centre of Port. Loved the pool and the house set up. Thank you Krystal 😊

Kuranda Rainforest House
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!

amalè Villa Sundaram
A beautiful place to stay and relax. Away from the activity of Port Douglas but also close enough to restaurants etc. The gardens are spectacular and amenities of the resort are perfect. Would love to stay again.

219 Harbour Lights with Ocean View
This place was great! The location is very good at the harbour. The apartment is duper clean and well equipped with everything you need. Check-in was super easy and the host would always reply within 30 minutes. Highly recommend this place! 😊

325 Harbour Lights with Garden View
Best location, easy to walk to everywhere. Nice and spacious apt. But location really is the best especially if you are traveling with kids. Only minor downside is the ants on kitchen counter, otherwise all good.

Drift Beachfront Resort Suite 2409
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.

1101 Harbour Lights with Ocean Views
The location of the apartment and the views are great. The place is just as described & very comfortable. Thomas' responses & communication were always very prompt & helpful. I would highly recommend his place to anyone coming to Cairns.

Trinity Beach Tropical Hideaway
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

Esplanade 1 Bedroom Apartment with pool
We loved it and the area suited us perfectly. We loved the view and proximity to everything we had planned. We would recommend Marc's place.

Cairns Apartment Esplanade Ocean Views
We traveled to Cairns for a family vacation! Christine’s place was top notch in terms of location and surroundings with very happening cafes & restaurants just around the corner. Moreover, we spent 2 days just enjoying the property with great ocean views and coffee ! Pool & tennis lawn added more entertainment! This relaxed city & the property has given our family a core travel memory! Highly recommend this property a great family vacation living experience !

2 Bedroom Condo "w" Pool entrance off your balcony
Lovely apartment in a great location. Vanessa & Mick were very responsive to our questions. Lovely comfortable beds.
