From the guests and hosts who’ve experienced our difference.

The house is really new, modern, functional and perfectly furnished. It has plenty of space inside and a nice terrace overlooking the countryside. Although it is located in a residential area, we did not notice anything from the neighbors and enjoyed our privacy. The pool is a good size and pleasant temperatures. It is a 5-minute walk to the village beach and some good restaurants are also within walking distance. I would still recommend a rental car as there is a lot to discover in the Cairns area. CONCLUSION: We had a great week and would 100% recommend the house, there is really nothing to fault.

Beautiful property. Very modern, comfortable and spacious. Better in person than even the photos present. Fantastic location - walking distance from Palm Cove esplanade. Antje was an outstanding host. Very helpful and quick to respond to any queries. My family and I would 100% stay at this property again. Absolutely recommend

My daughter and I really enjoyed staying at Antje's apartment as it was ideally located within the Drift resort which had an amazing large swimming pool and spa with spacious lush surrounds. We also had the beach on our doorstep. The balcony at the apartment was a bonus as was the kitchenette. We had a couple of issues which were very quickly resolved by the managing agent who was very friendly and helpful. It's a great apartment and we plan to stay here again!
Beautiful space, great facilities and decorations. One of the few places with an adult pool. Loved the complementary bottle of wine, and were lucky enough to be able to have a slightly early entry. Bed a bit soft for our liking.
Nowhere cottage is a comfy and cosy stay in a peaceful location with breathtaking views. I didn't want to leave!

Happy Skiers and Snowboarders. Fabulous location. Non fussy house perfect for families. Ease of check-in process. Negative: In terms of the property and the stay it was fantastic no complaints. In terms of the check-out we were late leaving due to the lift breaking down on the mountain leaving the cleaning team extremely unhappy. However the belle property management team in office dealt with that professionally. Great stay would recommend
Beautiful property! We loved staying at this airbnb. Antje left is a beautiful array of fruit and snacks, the kids (and adults) loved the pool and the beach was right across the road! The property was well equipped with many options for cooking (pizza oven, bbq). Deck was a beautiful spot to sit and eat. I’d 100% stay at this property again! I’d definitely book it again if we’re ever up that way! Antje was great at communicating, very friendly and helpful.

Absolutely gorgeous place. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was spectacular with the views overlooking the mountains! Pool was super clean and great condition too. Can’t wait to come back here in the summer time!

A week family Vaycay was not enough time to enjoy everything. This place is everything you need and didn’t know you needed!!! So much dove and room to relax. The sauna, pool, gym and golf were highlights. Magical place we will return for sure, highly recommend!
Loved our stay. Accommodation is great. Host always responsive. Thank you for your help when we needed it

Great stay, ideal location for walks and quiet. The house itself has everything we needed to have a great time. I would highly recommend this place.
We were there over Christmas, and with great weather, it was of course wonderful to have our own pool. Overall, it was a great apartment.

The apartment was outstanding with everything thing needed to enjoy the stay. Everything was as described. Prime view of the river from balcony and the private rooftop was something else. Unbelievable spot for relaxing with the spa, bbq, fudge, tv and comfortable lounge. Very hard to leave the place after staying a couple days. It’s definitely at the top of the list of places I’ve stayed. Well done guys
We loved our stay at Smithfield, the house had everything we needed to enjoy our time there. It is a little bit out of town but if you have a car it’s not far to go palm beach, cairns central etc. great entertaining area, bbq & pool and pool table is great too. Perfect house to enjoy with friends and family

Great location. Quiet at night and has very comfortable beds. Equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine and all the amenities needed. Unfortunately, the balcony is not really usable as the air-conditioning unit it on it and blows out hot air. Also the living area is quite dark
