The apartment was large, airy, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It is not new, but has been tastefully redecorated. There were two large lounges and a large HD TV. Well equipped kitchen, (huge fridge) a nice carpeted bedroom with excellent bed and linen, a nice rear balcony with chairs, and a lovely view to the tall palm forest behind. There were frequent visits to the lawns at the back by the agile wallabies and bush stone curlews. The air con units in both the lounge and bedroom were quite new and very efficient. There was lots of bench space and the dining setting was large and comfortable too. The bathroom was quite pleasant with good bench area, and a good shower. We appreciated the extra separate toilet. The most impressive feature was the long wide balcony with lovely views of the beach and foreshore. Four sliding doors can be used to access the balcony. There were a table and six mesh chairs, two other mesh chairs with a coffee table, and two comfortable mesh lounges. The area is quiet and not far from a Coles store, and other shops, restaurants and takeaways. The property has a nice pool and spa and we enjoyed a swim there. We both enjoyed walking along the shaded path along the waterfront across the road. All perfect for a pleasant, relaxed stay. Stuart was very courteous and helpful.

There was nothing which could spoil our stay.

Fantastic stay! Beautiful location steps from a palm-lined beach, close to shops, cafés, rainforest walks and restaurants. The apartment was spotless, tastefully decorated, and felt very homely. Great kitchen, lovely big terrace with comfy outdoor furniture. We especially loved our morning beach walks with coffee in hand. Tony & Stuart were incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

The unit was very spacious with amazing views right across from the beach. Sun rises were amazing from the 2nd floor unit and had most of our meals out on the balcony. Huge TV with netflix access for the kids. The beds were very comfortable with air conditioning in all the rooms. Two very comfortable leather lounges. The beach swimming enclosure was a 200 mtr walk away otherwise we were in the pool most days which had recliners and a huge BBQ. Kitchen was large and well equipped with items we didn't expect. Palm Cove was a 30 min relaxing walk along the beach or trail path to the north and there were busses very regularly to Palm Cove or back to Cairns with the bus stop just 100 mtr away. Comparatively it was very good value for money.

Spacious apartment with lovely balcony overlooking the beach. Plenty of available parking. Multiple bathrooms. Clean, tidy and comfortable. Relaxing area with restaurants and shops in close driving distance. Thanks for hosting us.

Construction was taking place both on the property next door and out in the street while we were there. This may not always be the case. The checkout time was firm, and we were a bit rushed to get out.

The apartment was beautifully presented. The bed was very comfortable. A very well equipped kitchen with a dining area. The whole apartment felt like a home from home. There were two reclining chairs and a comfy sofa. The apartment had a large furnished balcony with a sea view - a great place for a relaxing breakfast. I loved watching the wallabies from our rear balcony. Stuart and Tony were extremely helpful. There was a book swap area too. A very quiet, peaceful area. Would definitely return.

Nothing.

I liked the location of the apartment having a balcony looking out to the beach. I liked the size of the TV with free WIFI. The kitchen was awesome fully equipped, everything you could need was supplied. It was handy to have a laundry as well. The furniture was clean, stylish and comfortable.

It would have been nice to have a bath. The main bathroom was locked off because I was staying alone. The en-suite could do with retiling, there was a loose floor tile & some cracked ones so I would recommend updating.

We loved the arrival welcome, the apartment exceeded expectations, extremely clean and well resourced . Bed very comfortable as was all of the furniture. Great to sit & watch the sea, or to enjoy the pool a really relaxing place to stay.

The location for me was perfect. The apartment was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. I woke up to a gorgeous sunrise every morning as the apartment faced the Coral Sea. The owners booked my tours which was convenient and cost the same as booking through the tour operators. The owners were extremely helpful, friendly and so positive.

I didn't experience anything I didn't like. I felt so at home here.

We loved our stay here. The hosts Stuart and Tony were very hospitable, nothing was too much trouble for them. We were in apartment 2, which was newly and beautifully decorated. And spotlessly clean. The location was perfect, right across from the ocean, and not too far from the restaurants at Palm Cove and Trinity Beach. It was an easy drive from the Cairns airport and to Port Douglas.

Everything was to our liking.

Great location right opposite the beach. Large apartments with great facilities including plenty of kitchen essentials in the apartment and a lovely pool & sauna. Stewart and Tony were lovely hosts and also very helpful with tips for local restaurants and helped us to plan and book activities.
