This house is absolutely beautiful, had everything we needed and more for our stay

Great place to stay in Cairns, walking distance to everything in town.
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The house is beautiful, along with the pool and the amazing view of the mountains. You’re a very short stroll to the beach, cafes and restaurants, and only about a 20 minute drive into Cairns. The host was excellent and the house was easy to access, along with being exactly as listed. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a lovely family stay at South Haven. It was everything we were looking for. Peaceful, relaxing and private with beautiful surroundings. The kitchen was very well equipped- with everything we needed. The house was very comfortable on hot days with the air-conditioning and pool. The jacuzzi was a hit on cooler days too. The area is gorgeous with shopping, bush walks, coast line and cafes all within easy access. The house catered very well to the different needs of the family from teens to more mature octarian. We would love to come back again. Thank you for having us.

Our stay at this beautiful Palm Cove house was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all our expectations. We were a family of 8 including a toddler, and the home was the perfect size for us! The highlight for us was definitely the stunning pool, which was amazing. It was the best place to relax after a hot day out and about exploring. The location couldn't have been more perfect. We loved being able to take a short, leisurely stroll to the esplanade, where we had a fantastic selection of restaurants (Nunu being our favourite!!) to choose from for dinner each night. The proximity to the beautiful beach made morning walks and sunset views a daily ritual and taking our little one to the local park after grabbing our morning coffees. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were incredibly helpful online and were very prompt with replies to any questions we had. We can't wait to come back and would highly recommend!

Awesome spot. Super clean, lots of charm, everything you need, easy walk to town. Beautiful temperature pool. Perfect!
Melissa M - 29/9/25 — Reef Villa Palm Cove
Great location and well set up for a large group. The space worked well for us and was convenient for what we needed. That said, the property could benefit from some maintenance. The heaters weren’t very effective, so it was often quite cold inside. The drying room also didn’t work well, leaving gear damp in the mornings. The shower curtains and bathroom ceiling had mould and mildue, which was not ideal. For a group of guys it wasn’t a big issue, but with a bit of investment in upkeep the place could be much more comfortable for everyone. Overall, we’d definitely stay again — just think the property has the potential to be even better with some attention to these details

We really enjoyed our stay!! Very comfortable beds and awesome view from balcony!!!! Positive: Clean and great location! Negative: Water coming out from shower head was a little weak  
We recently rented the house for 7 adults and it was beyond our expectations. It is a stunning home in a stunning location! It was extremely clean and we all enjoyed our time there. I would love to stay again, if given the opportunity!

This home was perfect for our family trip to Cairns! ❤️

We had such a wonderful stay at Jila in Broome! The property is absolutely beautiful – spacious, modern, and designed with so much attention to detail. Everything was spotless on arrival, and we instantly felt at home. The outdoor area and pool were a highlight, perfect for relaxing during the warm afternoons. The location was also ideal – close enough to town and Cable Beach, yet peaceful and private. Communication with the hosts was excellent, very responsive and welcoming!

The location was perfect mostly nearby to all attractions like 10 minutes drive….the house was perfect and more than that the host was fabulously perfect….she cared our stay perfectly and we felt like our home…she has always responded in few minutes and for any genuine requests, she has always given positive responses…..initially, we requested for early check in and she approved it without any hesitation….I don’t have enough words to explain her support during our stay…Thanks a lot Antje
Malik P - 25/5/25 — The Beach House at Yorkeys
Beautiful place, supportive and friendly host! The thoughtful details and a comfortable bed, along with the host's excellent communication, made it an ideal and peaceful retreat. Thanks again 🙏 And see you next time
Carolina Mercedes Villacres Naranjo - 24/10/25 — Golden Views Hideaway
Very clean and well maintained. Nicely decorated and maintained. Loved the pot plants and the undercover area out the back! Was even better than the photos which is rare. Thank you.
Andrew J - 7/11/24 — Villa Del Mar
What can I say..we had the absolute best time at this stunning oroperty. Everything was perfect for our extended family trip 11 year old -82 years young. So much space to be together but just as much space to have quiet escapes. The sunrises were perfect, and the outdoor space left us feeling relaxed but gave the kids plenty of space to play. The short walk to the restaurants and bars made it easy to grab a dinner or two out, and the kitchen facilities were great for large family style meals.
5/5 – A Perfect Tropical Getaway Our stay at Antje’s property was absolutely wonderful! The home is modern, spacious, and beautifully maintained — everything felt fresh, clean, and inviting from the moment we arrived. The private pool area was a highlight — surrounded by lush greenery, it created a peaceful tropical retreat where we spent hours relaxing and cooling off. The outdoor setup with the barbecue, lounge area, and ambient lighting made for perfect evenings. The bedroom was stylish and comfortable, with thoughtful touches and attention to detail throughout the house. Antje was a fantastic host — very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. The location was quiet yet close enough to everything we needed, making it easy to unwind and explore at our own pace. We did notice the white cue ball was missing from the pool table, so we couldn’t play as planned, but that was only a tiny detail in what was otherwise a perfect stay. We’d absolutely love to come back again

The house was amazing . Really spacious, very comfortable, great for groups with lots of different spaces to hang out. It is a quick walk to the main street, a huge private and green backyard. Easy host . Great value
