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!

We came as a 10 people group of friend and it was a perfect house for us. Very clean and well maintained. Really comfortable beds and sofas. Easy self check in, in a great location. Includes everything you will need. Perfect for a family and for a group of friends. You can tell that the owners put a lot of effort in the place.

We found everything we needed in this apartment. We met the owner and found him and his wife to be very nice and helpful. We raised concerns with Booking.com about how Booking.com failed us on another booking in Cairns but that was not for this property. We very much enjoyed our stay in this property.

    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.
