p a l m h o u s e • luxury beachside getaway

CassandraRating, 5 stars3 months ago
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.

Modern house with pool near Strand!

MelindaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Magical Stay! From the moment we arrived, this Airbnb felt like something out of a dream. The setting was serene and beautiful, with lush surroundings that made us feel completely immersed in nature. It was almost like I imagined living in a fairy treehouse might feel. Very inspiring! The highlight? Besides the obvious shown in photos in ad - A family of frogmouth owls perched in the tree by the pool, adding an enchanting touch to our mornings and evenings. Don’t get me started on the incredible background noise of the little waterfall running into a stream that can be heard when relaxing on the back deck. 😍 The home itself was impressive, very thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Our host Wendy was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a stay that’s peaceful, unique, and filled with natural beauty, this is the place. We can’t wait to return!

An absolutely beautiful place to stay. the photos don't do it justice, the views are spectacular. The pool is private and top-notch. We had everything we needed for our 9 night stay, especially in the kitchen. Highly recommend and a great host and caretaker.

SPIRE - Palm Cove Luxury

LizRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a fantastic few days at Nadia’s place, the house was perfect and felt very luxurious. The only thing that could improve it would be to have a couple of outdoor loungers in addition to the outdoor sofa as there was four of us. we used the beach towels on the outdoor sofa and directly on the wooden deck which wasn’t that comfortable, as we didn’t want to sit on the main sofa in case we got sunscreen on it.

Casa Palma

JenniferRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We've been travelling around Australia for 3 months and feel this was our favorite place to stay in all of our time here. The home was stunning. Very comfortable and private, it was all you could ask for and more. It was a mere 185 steps to the beach (it was right across the street!) and just a few blocks away on the same street were some amazing restaurants, cafes and shops. They were easily accessible but far enough away that you couldn't hear any music or noise. In fact, the only thing we could hear from the house was the wind blowing through the trees or birds chirping. The home was stunning, modern, pristine and Deborah was a fantastic host. It really couldn't have been better and it was difficult to leave.

Port Douglas Beach House Retreat

VanessaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We had an amazing stay at Tanya’s beautiful 4-bedroom home in Port Douglas! The house was spacious, perfect for our family of four (including two teenagers), with plenty of room for everyone to relax. Having two lounge areas was a bonus, and the kitchen was great—it had everything we needed to cook our own meals after long days out. The pool was a highlight! It was exactly like the photos—sparkling clean and so inviting. Tanya gave us some excellent recommendations for restaurants and local attractions, which we found really helpful. One of our favourite tips was to take a morning walk along the stunning 4 Mile Beach, just a short stroll down the street. The location was ideal, situated on a quiet street but only a 5-minute drive to town. We had a rental car, so it was easy to come and go, and the peaceful surroundings made it feel like a retreat. We recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious, well-equipped home with a great pool in a quiet, convenient location. Thank you, Tanya.

Beach holidays like they used to be

JoshRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Had a great experience staying at Jonnies. Whether you are looking for work stay or for a large family. This is the place for you. It has the house and a granny flat it has ample parking space a great little outdoor bbq area. Very close to all the shops and pub. Always beach is a 5minute wonder down the road. Relaxed and quiet environment and a great fishing spot not too far. Would highly recommend this spot, if I am ever in the area again or we do another project up here this will be the 1st place I will book.

Beachfront Studio Apartment - 1 bedroom

JesseRating, 5 stars8 months ago
As soon as i had my booking confirmed, Carol was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Extremely friendly, helpful and responded almost immediately, regardless of the question. She went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. Wish I was staying for pleasure, instead of work, would have loved to enjoy some quiet time on the front patio, taking in the views. But was fantastic to sleep with the window open after a long day at work, falling asleep to the sounds of the waves and fresh sea air Would definitely stay here again if I had the chance. Thanks again for your hospitality Carol.

Hilltop Hideaway on Jansen

MarkRating, 5 stars1 month ago
A beautiful place from which to explore Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays. It is incredibly peaceful, with magical morning mist, and yet still only 15 minutes to the harbour. You have lots of space and Lynda is only a phone call away for any assistance. Would definitely come back!

Samsara Holiday House includes Wi-Fi

NewRating, 5 stars4 months ago
My husband & I have stayed on Magnetic Island many times & always love it -Eleanor’s beautiful home was new to us. So peaceful sitting on one of several balconies watching/listening to teeming wildlife in the surrounding National Park. The house itself is fabulous with a lovely ambience. Having had a minor accident (not in the house!) I needed to rest an ankle for a couple of days - being in such a lovely situation holiday was not spoiled as it was a pleasure to just chill out in the house. Eleanor was a perfect host and I wish to thank her for letting us stay at Samsara.
