Farmstay holiday rentals in Great Barrier Reef

Excellent stay at Pandora Cottage . Hostess was most helpful and welcoming. Very relaxing accommodation in Rockhampton, so peace and quiet

Excellent value for money. Enough breakfast provided for our 3 night stay, ample food and pantry items. Anything you need to have the creature comforts of home is at this accommodation. Donna and Peter are incredibly friendly and kind - more than accommodating of any requests. Would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely LOVED staying at Ben & Courtenay’s place. The location is breathtaking and close to so many things. We ended up getting in much later than we expected (flight delays), and they accommodated. The house has everything you need and then some! Definitely pick up food before heading there, the local store can be hit or miss and little pricey.

The house was perfect for our family of eleven. Morning walks to the beach, swimming in the pool, and the sounds of the tropical birds were very enjoyable for someone from Texas. A visit to Korunda Village, Baron Falls, Four Mile Beach, and snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef were easily accessible and enjoyed by all. I would recommend this beautiful home to anybody for a wonderful holiday!

Excellent location, beautiful house , modern interior with all the rainforest charm . Gardens are absolutely stunning , so relaxing this was a great find for a family of 6 people in Cape Tribulation. Great communication with host.

We had a beautiful two days at Mary’s place. It’s an absolutely stunning location, so peaceful and serene. Mary has thought of everything to make sure your stay is relaxing and wonderful. The outdoor kitchen is excellent, and we loved the outdoor living - we spent almost all our time out there on the deck snuggled on the couch or sitting on the grass! We fed the horses and chickens, enjoyed the view, and the lovely food provided by Mary when we arrived, and the peace and quiet. Mary and Lili are wonderful hosts, very kind and friendly, but also mindful of guest privacy. We were lucky enough to have cuddles with Diesel and Molly the dogs! There’s excellent walking trails and parks around the area, and the evenings are stunning looking at the mountains and listening to the animals. The beds are super comfy and the shower is excellent. It was just what we needed to unwind and relax before heading home. We will definitely be back to Mary’s place next time we come to Cairns!

Hibiscus Cottage was a great base for our stay in the Cape Tribulation region, north of the Daintree River. The property is very peaceful and private with beautiful trees and gardens around the house and tropical rainforest all around. Lots of bird song. The cottage is very comfortable and has all the amenities you need. The tropical fruit breakfast provided at Epiphyte B&B was enjoyable and a great way to connect with some fellow travellers each morning. The cottage is in a great location - close to Cow Bay, good restaurants nearby for dinner and a spectacular drive up to Cape Tribulation. Matt was very informative and provided us with great ideas to enjoy our time in the region including forest walks, beach walks, creeks, tours and local restaurants and cafes. Altogether, a great stay in a beautiful and unique region of Australia.

We absolutely loved our stay at Graham's Airbnb! The place was clean and equipped with everything we needed. The backyard was a highlight—beautifully maintained with local kangaroos making occasional appearances. It provided a peaceful and scenic backdrop, and our dog loved exploring it. Graham was a great host, very attentive and helpful. We highly recommend this charming retreat for anyone looking for a serene getaway. A perfect stay!

Our stay was nice and relaxing , the fire pit while overlooking the mountains was peaceful. I would recommend the property to our friends.

Loved the setting this property was in, very peaceful and remote. Nice to have interaction with the farm animals and enjoyed the use of the table tennis table! Our dog loved the freedom and outdoor space. If you want to get back to nature I would recommend this property.

This place was like being a million miles away. It was so peaceful & quiet. It was lovely & cool - such a nice break away from the heat in Cairns. Loved hearing the birds of a morning & seeing the kangaroos just grazing. The barn had everything we needed which was perfect. Helen’s homemade marmalade was amazing. lt’s great to stay somewhere we can take our dog also - he loved it! Can’t wait to come back to this bit of paradise again one day. Thank you to Alec & Helen - your place was beautiful.

The setting of the house is amazing. I got up before 6 each day and watched the sun come up with a beautiful view. Wildlife fantastic especially if you are not Australian and don’t see Wallabies, Kokaburras and large colourful frogs! Pool 🏊 wonderful. Lovely place. Highly recommend.

Megan & Dave were excellent hosts, easy to communicate with, friendly & welcoming. An excellent base to see the sights in the area, & then come home to a warm & cosy house. The fire place works great, maybe, a little too well, it was so warm, the house is well insulated, it was a novelty to have a fire & being in the clouds was great, very atmospheric. I loved ‘Sacred Springs Farmhouse’ it was so peaceful and a beautiful place, both the house & surroundings All in all had a lovely stay, Megan & Dave are a lovely couple 😊

Absolutely loved our stay at Ann's place. Ann and her family were all so welcoming and made us feel right at home. Everything we needed was provided. Ann and her family have such a peaceful slice of paradise. It was the much needed escape from the hustle and bustle that we enjoyed the most. The kids had an amazing time exploring outdoors and just being kids free to roam and enjoy time with the animals. 100% recommend this place and will definitely be back

Beautiful self contained unit in a quiet area.

We had a fabulous stay at Tuscany on Tinaroo. It accommodated our group beautifully and is seriously a slice of paradise on the lake. Highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay with a short walk to the Palm Cove central area with resturants and cafes. Pool was quiet and friendly people around. Bed was super comfortable and everything was clean. Air con worked well in the heat.

Such a special find if you’re looking for the simplicity or camping, peace and beauty of the rainforest. Yurts were well equipped and the meals available were delicious! Beautiful pristine area to explore and daily suggestions were super helpful! My husband and son did the night walk offered and loved learning more about the wildlife. Waking up to Cassowary’s roaming is next level and hope to return one day ~

Very special experience. The best place to stay for nature, animal lovers.

Eve’s place was the perfect space to enjoy the tranquility of Lake Tinaroo we only wish we could’ve stayed longer! The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfy and the views were out of this world. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, thanks for sharing your beautiful space with us!

We really enjoyed our stay. Our frustration was trying to get an answer about was was not included ie shampoo and the essentials pack, which Airbnb indicated in their website was not included. Trying to find out exactly what was included in the essentials was not easy and required phone calls. This may be a minor issue to some but we needed to know so that we knew what to bring. The website for this listing needs to be amended.

Amazing Farmstay, Lea and Dave were amazing and made us feel right at home. It was wonderful to see all of the animals and the adorable baby goat. Our little guy loved it, and my partner and I had a lovely chats with Dave at the bar Thank you so much for having us.
