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.

11 out of 10… the apartment was very well furnished, great kitchen, comfy sofa, powerful air con, even had a new super fast washer dryer…WiFi was very good- good enough to download movies. Apartment was spotless when I arrived & ready for early (midday) checkin. Stuart and Tony are very helpful with things like advice for trips, help with local transport& things to do. Loved the pool for reading & chilling. Clifton Beach area is quiet - very peaceful but theres a great walk along the beach or through the nature trail to Palm Cove it’s a- nice alternative to the bus. There’s a big supermarket (Coles) 15 mins walk away so it’s easy to stock up and enjoy your vacation!

I’ve stayed in a few nice places, this one is easily my favourite. My apartment was fantastic, great quality throughout. Loved the huge balcony, East facing so you get sunrise over the ocean. Then there is a smaller balcony at the back with excellent forest views, including a family of wallabies which visited daily. Lifts to your floor, really nice swimming pool, great walking paths along the beach right out the front, so much to like. And the staff were friendly, helpful and very accommodating, couldn’t ask for more. Hope to go back one day!
