We stayed with the lovely couple in Cairns and can heavily recommend booking your stay with them. You have your own apartment with a cute kitchen with most of the essentials (and then some). Cozy feeling of summer cabin from back home. The house is a short walk / drive away from the center of town. Peaceful and cute place to stay, gentle and cute dog next door and very friendly couple to share travel tips and a bit of chat. Would visit again and so should you!

    On arriving at the property we were able to access the keys and then park underground in a designated parking space. On entering the apartment we were stunned by the view ( over the seafront from the balcony) and the size of the living space. The kitchen was well equipped and we had a dining area as well as two large sofas. The two bedrooms were large and each effectively had its own bathroom. Access in and out of the building was easy and there are many restaurants very close by. What a beautiful flat!
