Even though we only stayed for one night, it was absolutely worth it. Every detail is so well thought out. There are bath salts in the bathroom, flip-flops, bathrobes, coffee, snacks, milk, cold water, so many lovely touches that make the stay feel truly perfect. The house is beautiful and very well equipped, it even has an oven, which isn’t always the case and everything is designed to make you feel comfortable. We had actually planned to go out and explore, but we ended up staying in because it just felt so cosy and relaxing! It was a short stay, but a special one and I’m sure we’ll be back if we return to the area. Highly, highly recommended!

Clean appartment on arrival. Comfy bed and hot shower with equipped kitchen for self-catering. God location for exploring Cairns on foot. Near to large Cole’s supermarket for self-catering. Friendly staff with welcoming touches e.g. book swap shelf and some food provisions. Pool looked clean & inviting but we didn’t have time to use it. Recommended for a city stay.
