Lovely stay in Cairns

Salt water and fresh water adventure in Cairns

This abode became our home away from home in an instant. Great layout, quiet and near a bakery and supermarket. Our hosts were immediately responsive to any request we had and made some great suggestions for local restaurants. For me the highlight was the swimming pool, which is so like a natural rock pool, it's a work of art. Highly recommend.

In the poolHouse was unscreened, you couldnt open the windows with out bugs coming inThe Hist didnt inform us there was an extra charge for a small dog...60 a day, we feel we were ripped offThe Host said there was parking for 2 cars but wanted us to move the cars. The Host accused us of bleaching the pillow cases and wanted a fee for sheets & pillow cases.We didnt do Any WashingIt was ment to be a relaxing week, what a jokeThe Host also wanted the air- con off when we went out. So are dog fried.My husband & I had a horrible experience & stay hereThe Host charged us an extra 440 for the week for are dog but the people downstair didnt get an extra charge for there doganywasWashing ??tcareAir-con had to be turned off

Pleasant, safe, family friendly.

We stayed here for two nights, home is beautiful, owners are lovely. We rented the second story and had heaps of privacy. The ground level had another apartment or 2, a beautiful swimming pool with a pair of friendly doggies joining in for a swim and play, but if you don't like dogs they are happy to remove them from the common area. We had an unexpected electrical issue which was promptly resolved by a friendly local electrician. Overall it was a wonderful stay, a great place to host friends or family with some entertainment available such as books, board games, playing cards and tv! So much fun that our kids didn't want to leave!

Spacious and well located

The apartment is spacious and well equipped and the owner is friendly and helpful. We didn't see any shops and cafes to walk to but with a car it was very well located. The apartment felt a bit dark and enclosed because of the wooden shutters even when they were open so I missed having an outside view.

Comfortable and Relaxing Stay

The place was very spacious and clean. Probably the cleanest place I've stayed in a while. There was air conditioning but the house is designed to keep cool so it was not needed all day. I'm sure when most people stay they rent a car, however, we did not which made the stay a bit more challenging. There aren't sidewalks in the neighborhood and there was not much within walking distance. The bus stops are less than a 10 minute walk but the buses only accept cash and do not run at night. The wifi went out a few times, but the host was available throughout the day to help and was very friendly. Overall, it was a nice stay and we appreciated the hospitality.

Super! Super! Super!

Super gracious host! Our flight was delayed and we ended up arriving about 6 hours later than expected and were bone-tired after traveling for 30+ hours. Craig had the lights on and everything looked so warm and welcoming! Super lovely home! Craig's place felt like home and the bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The ambiance of the house is warm and comfortable, with lots of places to sit and visit or just read a book. Craig has done a phenomenal job with the landscaping around the house and pool and we felt like we were in our own little piece of rainforest paradise. Super friendly and helpful! Craig was a resource for us whether we needed help with the stove or a suggestion for a place to eat or just a quick chat. We wouldh highly recommend this house and host!
