About 30 minutes north of Cairns, Palm Cove is a tiny beachside village centred around an esplanade lined with 500-year-old melaleuca trees. Walk around barefoot, choose a bike instead of a car and buy fresh seafood for a sunset barbecue on the beach. You can hire a kayak and paddle right off the beach or take a tour to nearby Double Island. The Palm Cove jetty is a great fishing spot, with plenty of Spanish mackerel, cod, whiting, stripeys and flathead to be caught.

There is a dedicated parking space for your convenience and the property is located right next to the shops and Esplanade.

Would book again!

The property is exactly as it looks in the pictures. It contained everything we needed. Great location. There was a mix up with the check in and because the only way to contact the host was via message it was a bit stressful. Not how you want to start your holiday. I received a text but the text then did not have a return facility. It would be so much better to have a simple phone number I could call. Having said all this I would have no hesitation in booking the apartment again. It was ideal for my friend and I as we both had our own room and a bathroom each. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great service and very easy communication

Great property loved the little items like tea coffeee, shampoo, toilet paper body wash very helpful. Stove could have been cleaned better and outside furniture was white and hard to keep clean but was dirty when we arrived . Also a coffee table outside would be great to have tea coffee nibbles. The two foot stools were not very sterdy . But thank you will come back again and honours assisted in inextending our checkout thank you we will be back 👍

About the host

Hosted by Tommo Railton

At Cozie Homes, we understand owners’ needs because of our own personal experiences. We started out on Airbnb with a single room in our own house. Our success with this single room inspired us to let an entire floor, offering a cozie, self-contained apartment in our Queenslander. This eventually became two apartments, and we then spent a couple of years creating the perfect formula for maximising bookings and customer satisfaction.

A year later, we bought a second property and repeated the formula, to great success. Now, a few years down the line, we are a fully licensed real estate agency with a plethora of awesome properties, which we manage on behalf of their owners. Each one unique in its own way, sympathetically handled to reflect the style and personality of the owner.

With a strong background in hospitality and Cairns-focussed tourism, we really do have what it takes to make your guests feel welcome and happy during their stay. Our attentive, professional approach generates regular 5 star reviews to maximise ongoing revenue for you.

Why they chose this property

For me, palm cove is the ultimate Cairns holiday destination. The area boasts a stunning shoreline, and plentiful array of cafes and eateries to keep you busy for a week or two. This property is situated right on the esplanade for an easy come and go holiday base, with private parking for your convenience.

What makes this property unique

This property is one of the few units in the 'Drift' complex blessed with the fantastic view that it has, over the pools and gardens, making the balcony an excellent spot for an evening glass of wine.
