POOLSIDE APT. ALAMANDA BEACHFRONT RESORTissa (74)

As a long time resident of North Queensland and a highly experienced host in both Cairns and Port Douglas, I have a wealth of local knowledge and I understand exactly what guests need and want to enjoy a truly exceptional stay.

I love being an ambassador for Cairns and I’m always delighted to recommend the best things to see and do, if guests need my help. Because I know the area so well, even if they’re only here for a few days, I’m able to suggest things that will give them a wonderful overall picture of what Far North Queensland has to offer. It’s a pretty easy job considering paradise is right on our doorstep!

I personally take advantage of the stunning natural beauty at every opportunity by going camping, hiking and getting out on the reef and snorkelling. I’ve got a lifelong passion for fitness and well-being so I’m very often out on one of our many picturesque walking trails, like Earl Hill or the Red Arrow, but I also love kicking back and enjoying the simple pleasures of a glass of wine or dinner on the Esplanade or at one of our gorgeous beaches.

My experience as a holiday property owner myself means I understand that little details make a big difference, so communication and attention to detail are my priorities. Things like double checking the cleaning is tip top, turning on lights and/or air-cons, and setting up sofa beds for late arrivals are just a few of the things I do to make sure my guests arrive to a comfortable, welcoming and relaxing home away from home.
