Tropical Beachside Home | Pool | WiFi
Had a great 4 nights relaxing after travelling up the east coast and between 5 of us the price was a really good deal

p a l m h o u s e • luxury beachside getaway
Stayed at the Palm Cove house with my husband and 2 children for the last four days of our holiday in Cairns. The house was beautiful and clean. We had such a wonderful time there. Everything was amazing. The house is even better in person. Would 100% recommend and if we return to Palm Cove we will definitely stay here again! Thank you.

Mountain View
We loved the house and the views! The area is very peaceful, and it feels safe in this area. It's also accessible by bus, and it's easy to get around on foot or by bike. The walk along the creek just a street behind the house, along with the lovely terrace, is a great way to connect with nature right from home. As for the house, it has such a cozy vibe that we really enjoyed. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the rooms are spacious and relaxing. We decided to extend our stay since we were having such a great experience! Thanks, Tristan!

Clean & Green Edge Hill, 7 Mins to airport & CBD
Our family enjoy staying at David's so much we have been back 4 times. The pantry is well stocked. The living areas are large and comfortable. Undercover parking and a covered clothes line make dealing with wet season rain easy. There is also a good size internal laundry with a washing machine and separate dryer. All the bedrooms are a great size and the beds are comfortable. David's home is in a wonderful location. If you feel like a short walk the botanical Gardens and cafes are only minutes away. It's also only short drive to many of Cairns best attractions including the Sky rail and scenic railway, aquarium and lagoon. The location is also ideal, if you want to explore a little north of Cairns and visit Port Douglas, Mossman or the Daintree. You will also be well placed to vist Hartley's, and have an up close breakfast will the koalas. David's place is easily the best value in Edge Hill.

Stunning Mountain View Renovated Home with a Deck
We enjoyed our stay well. This house is located in a quiet area but only around 10 minutes drive to city center and Cairns pier. The 3 bed rooms are very good for us. The huge deck looks very nice in spite we didn’t have time to enjoy barbecue. In spite there was some issue on the first day, but it was solved in a reasonable way, so we enjoyed our following 4 days’ stay very well.

Tropical family beach house
We had an amazing visit here even with the bad weather. Pool, kids toys, kids archery set (sticky end), plenty of games and books to keep you occupied. Amazing house, extremely clean, cosy and comfortable. Would highly recommend to anyone travelling and is pet friendly.

Family friendly: Wi-Fi, Netflix, Yard, fits 10.
We really enjoyed our stay with Rod and Evelyn. The area was beautiful and the garden unit of the house was quite spacious and had more rooms than we needed. Our 5 yr old boys loved jumping on the trampoline and playing in the front and back yards, as well as watching the heritage pass by several times a day. The hosts were highly responsive and accommodating to our needs, as well as being friendly and offering local tips. Would definitely book again/recommend to others.

Modernistic 2bedroom house close to city, airport.
My husband and I stayed just for a night as we were only in cairns for a quick trip to pick our two kids up for the holidays off the plane. We found the location very convenient, close to the airport and to the supermarket and other shops. Nisha’s place was easy to find and checking in was a breeze. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed for a short stay. Kitchen was well equipped. The beds were all very comfortable too had a good sleep after driving 700kms the day before into cairns. Nisha is very responsive, friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back

Inner City Value
We had a fantastic stay in Cairns. The apartment was simply great. Spacious, clean, and equipped with everything you could need. The private terrace is a lovely place to relax, and despite its proximity to the city center, it's quiet. The Esplanade is just a short walk away, and the city center with shops and restaurants is also within easy walking distance. We're happy we chose Inner City Value and highly recommend it.

Sunny apartment in Cairns North - walk to beach
Azusa was a great host, super responsive and always checking in! The apartment was fully equipped and perfect for our 4 day getaway! Super cute inside and very spacious. The pool downstairs was very handy and super warm. Apartment is clearly in the direct pathway of the airplanes but the sound wasn’t too bad! Definitely would stay here again.

(B6) FREE WIFI - SLEEPS UP TO FIVE - WALK TO CITY
Great Place, perfect for what I needed.

Avant Garde Number 4
Would definitely stay here again when we are in Cairns :) Thanks!

Golf Course Apartment/Sleeps upto 6/ Selfcontained
We had a great stay here for 5 nights. As others have mentioned the mini bar is great, well priced and very useful. The apartment was extremely spacious and comfortable, the balcony lovely, and the pool was amazing despite the rain!! We hired a car, but it is close to Cairns and the airport and it is very easy to get Ubers. We enjoyed diving on the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree rainforest, Hartley's Croc Park and Cairns Aquarium. Alyssa and Aaron were great with communication and we were so pleased that we were able to have a late check out. We would definitely recommend staying here.

(D23) Lovely two bedroom unit - Close to CBD
Nice place, close to city

3 Bedroom CBD Waterfront Luxury Apartment
Wow the apartment was beautiful and clean, very spacious in a fantastic location close to everything and we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back in the future. Thanks Holiday with Hunt . 😊

Absolute Waterfront - Enjoy Exceptional Lifestyle
This place was perfect for us! Fantastic location and lovely amenities! So much to see and do in the area! Just walk the boardwalk at the doorstep and you can get practically anywhere! The town of Cairns is charming and chill. At the end of the day, the apartment gym and rooftop pool were a nice way to relax. The apartment had a super comfy auto reclining couch and a huge Samsung Frame Smart TV - a great way to snuggle in after a day of adventure!

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

Drift Beachfront Resort Suite 4204
A fantastic stay at Thomas’ place! I had an incredible time staying at Thomas’ property. The space was spotless, beautifully styled, and had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Thomas was a thoughtful and responsive host—communication was clear and friendly from start to finish. The location was perfect too—quiet, convenient, and close to everything I wanted to explore. I felt right at home and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place with a genuinely welcoming vibe!

Ocean View Luxury Apartment in City
I had a great stay at Andrea’s place! The apartment was exactly as shown in the photos—modern, spotless, and felt quite new. It’s in a great location, making it easy to get around, and the area was nice and quiet. Everything was super clean and well-maintained. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Palm Cove Paradise - Couples spa unit in Peppers
Beautiful place to stay if you are looking for a great holiday. Loved the resort living and amazing places to eat with everything you need within walking distance. Bec’s place was just what we needed to unwind and really relax. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your condo. Dayana and Alex

Resort Getaway Lakes Cairns- 4Pools, resort
We stayed at the Resort for 6 months. During that time, we always felt comfortable and safe. Sandy and Isabell went out of their way to ensure that we were well looked after; for example, the fridge started playing up and was replaced immediately with a brand new one. The same happened with the washing machine and it too was immediately replaced with a brand-new model. Any queries we had were responded to immediately via the Airbnb message function and Isabell was kind enough to provide her personal mobile number to ensure easy and fast communications. The Resort is beautiful and has well-tended gardens and landscaping and numerous swimming pools. It was also very quiet and peaceful. :) The location of the Resort was ideal for us being close to the airport and a short drive to the CBD. It is also very close to the Botanic Gardens and the Cairns Esplanade. We would not hesitate to recommend the Resort as a beautiful location and Sandy & Isabell as perfect hosts.
