This home is a true gem! The location is perfect, right across from the beach and within easy walking distance to great cafes and local shops. The house itself is beautifully styled and thoughtfully designed, with brand new bathrooms and super comfortable beds that made it feel like a boutique retreat. The outdoor area is a standout feature – a huge pool, expansive yard, and even a pizza oven, which made for fun and memorable evenings. It felt like home away from home. You can really tell how much care has gone into creating this space. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax, unwind, and enjoy everything the area has to offer. Highly recommend and would absolutely love to come back!

House was fantastic for our family holiday. Great size bedrooms and bathrooms with lots of room for the kids. Pool was a hit with the kids and once you got used to the hill climb to the house was easy walk to the beach

Just for future people staying, instructions for the stove top would have been great. Other than that, it was a pleasant place to stay

We had a wonderful stay at Squatters Run apartment 20. Great fit out, very central, excellent communication. Would stay again! Thanks

The spot was a perfect place for relaxing and being in the heart of Palm Cove. The pool and lush surrounds was fabulous for a swim and the clever design ensured private spaces if you wanted. A gorgeous getaway while enjoying NuNu and other great eats
Great place to stay while enjoying Cairns. Restaurants right downstairs, we couldn’t hear any other guests through the stay, the pool was lovely and the apartment very comfortable. We met the owner in the lift and she was lovely too. Couldn’t check out late but Belle let us store our bags which was nice. Thank you!  
Absolutely loved our stay at Sea la vie Trinity Beach in Cairns! The accommodation was modern, super clean, and had everything we needed—from a fully equipped kitchen to great air conditioning. The pool was spacious, well-maintained, and perfect after a day at the beach (which was just a short walk away!). The location is close to cafes, shops, and right near the water. All this at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and family holiday.

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

Positive: A spacious modern apartment with a lovely swimming pool right on the beach in Palm Cove. Ideal Negative: A greeting letter with a bottle of wine always says “welcome guest”. It was a shame that the entry and exit felt such a “do it yourself affair”!

Great stay! Negative: The stairs lol, other than that it was great, stairs are just o tall

A real palace! The location, the palace, the furniture and facilities were amazing. Very tastefully decorated. If we were not married yet, we would consider hiring this for our wedding.
This home was perfect for our family trip to Cairns! ❤️
