Great Cairns Accomodations

Very comfortable accommodations on the Cairns waterfront. Close to a bunch of nice restaurants and easy access to Green Island tours. I was met by one of the owners and given the “50 cent tour” of the unit and building when I arrived. If I come back to Cairns I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Spot

We came in the rainy season (Dec-Feb) and the huge porches were a real blessing to sit out on. The house is up a lot (4 stories up from road level) but it works just fine - be sure you can handle steps. Main living area is large and open and very pleasant. View of Cairns and the mountains is wonderful to wake up to.

Perfect Home Away from Home

We loved this property. It was exactly how it looked from listing photos, and there was more than enough supplied in the home for our two families to stay (5 adults 4 kids). The kids really enjoyed the pool and it was nice to have it on the shady side of the home. Overall we loved it and we would absolutely stay here again.
