Gorgeous apartment right on the beachfront, immaculately clean and well appointed. I also liked how close to the bus stop it was, making travel to Palm Cove and Cairns easy. I would love to stay again.
Great location sea front apartment, spacious, and well equipped. Close to Coles for shopping. Restaurants mainly in Palm Cove. Clifton Beach restaurants below average.
Bransford fishing tackle shop also has great reef fish coral trout and red emperor if you want to cook.

Amazing accommodation, the hosts were excellent and very accommodating for a family. The amenities have been spot on and everything you could need.Q ueit location with wonderful views of the beach from the living areas. Will definitely be recommending Argosy and look forward to staying again on our next visit
Clean property. Beds were a little stiff but this might he an Aussie thing. Laundry room and bathrooms could use upgraded ventilation. We would stay again though and would recommend to a friend. Easy parking, clean pool and stocked kitchen were a bonus.

Stayed in Palm Cove previously, preferred this more tranquil setting across from the beach, great location for car trip up to Port Douglas & down to Cairns & the reef.
Restaurants are all around in the Palm Cove & Clifton Beach area {8 min.car/ 15 min lovely walk}. Owners always on hand with local info plus private parking & a Lift which helps access for us over 60's. Would stay again.

Wow, what a spot!
Book here you won’t be disappointed. From the room to the decor the nice location, the wifi that works, the fine touches on things like some good quality wine glasses. When I come back to cairns, I won’t stay anywhere but here.

A lovely apartment with a beach view. Very convenient having a washer and dryer in the apartment. Pool and spa very nice. Garden very well maintained.
Occasionally noisy because it is on a bus route, but otherwise in a very quiet residential area. Only a few minutes drive from the supermarket..
Had a problem with the toaster which was quickly sorted out. The property has recently changed hands and the new owners are still finding their feet. It would have been nice to have had a personal welcome instead of receiving notifications through email. However, as my Husband and I are older we do not like this impersonal way of communication which is the norm these days.
We would certainly redcommemd this property.

Loved looking out in beautiful warm mornings through palm trees to the sea. Loved the wallabies and the bush stone curlews. Our vantage point was perfect. Great walks, either to Kewarra Beach or to Palm Cove. Local cafe Coco Mojo was walkable and great.
The guest room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Above all, I was impressed by the kindness and generosity of the hotel staff, Mr. Stuwart. He told me that October is the best season. I would like to come again.

The apartment was lovely, home from home. Just about everything you would need for a longer stay. Air con and fans in all rooms. Brilliant patio area and gardens and a lovely little pool with a small BBQ area.
Washer and dryer in a laundry room.
I can’t praise this place and the hosts, Stuart and Tony enough.
