Great apartment, location and view. Perfect for Cairns GBR day trips- 2 minute walk to the boat docks is very convenient. Everything you need is walkable and easy to get to. The outdoor balcony with a full size dinning table and great view of the docks, water and mountains was a big bonus. We would definitely stay there again!

Location and view Big balcony
Getting to the property was very easy to find, lockbox worked perfectly, room was incredibly cosy and modern. Nice and modern, very comfortable. Negative: Car space was a bit tight considering most people drive 4wd down to the snow

Had a wonderful relaxing stay. Amazing views and great location to be in Palm Cove. Supermarket just behind resort which came in very handy. Bed was super comfortable and communication was 5 stars. Thanks
The location is absolutely beautiful, and the house itself is really lovely, such a peaceful spot with great potential for an amazing stay. A few little things could use some attention though: • The dishwasher had some dirty cutlery inside with a bit of mould. • There aren’t any blinds on the main back windows or back doors. It gets quite dark at night, which can be a bit unsettling for kids who are scared of the dark. • The plastic covers on the deck don’t roll up properly, and some are dirty or broken, so it’s impossible to open them up and enjoy the uninterrupted lake view. • Only one sharp knife in the kitchen, a few more would be handy. • No chairs around the fire pit area. • Would be great if the outdoor furniture was set up on the grass closer to the lake to really enjoy the view. • No bathroom mats, so the floor got pretty wet after showers. • The towels were quite small, bigger, fluffier ones would be a nice touch. Overall, we still really enjoyed our stay

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”!

loved the style and look of the place!

I travelled for work and each time I came to the property it felt like home. The space felt welcoming with hampton/beach vibe and luxurious at the same time. It was very spacious with everything you need, as if you were at home. Absolutely loved my stay and will book again!

A lovely apartment in an excellent position with a stunning view over the grammar school and the lake. Positive: The situation was exceptional with a sensational view over the lake towards the North. The rooms were comfortably furnished and well equipped. Parking was available in a private garage under the building. Negative: Nothing substantial but a couple of very minor issues which could and should have been picked up and fixed when the apartment was prepared for letting.

Overall the place is really nice, given the location in palm Cove and it is in walking vicinity to all the restaurants.
A relaxing and memorable trip. We felt right at home and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay with the kids

Lovely week in Coolum and nice property we stayed in. Positive: Easy access. Nice unit. Good facilities. Unit well equipped.
Martine - 8/9/25 — Unit 307 ‘Drift’
Good value for money, great location Positive: Cannot beat the location. Just two doors up from the Coolum Surf Club and all of the shops. It's an older apartment with a plenty of room for two people, a very wel stocked kitchen, very comfy beds, air con and heating, great WiFi, very good smart TV, free parking spot on site, washer/dryer. Very nice arrival packet and gift cards. We have twice stayed there. Big frige, good kitchen. Love that there's a toilet and shower on the ground floor, especially handy when returning from the beach. This is in addition to a full bathroom upstairs. Lots of amneities and beach accessories. The furniture on the the balcony is very comfy. Negative: The only thing the flat needs is new furniture on in the downstairs. Part of the couch is worn down and the dining set is uncomfortable. That said, if you're out a lot or if it's a shorter stay you won't care. The downstairs lighting also could use an update.

Great house and location. We all enjoyed the house and the kids loved the pool and games room. Would stay again.
Catherine B - 13/7/25 — Villa by the C
Beautiful home was in pristine condition. Everything was so clean and fresh. The location was perfect for our family holiday. Plenty of space for the kids to spread out. We loved the large round dining table and spent many evening hours sitting there playing games. Close easy walk to a gorgeous stretch of beach that was mostly empty. The pool was great, loved that it was lit at night. Lots of places to eat and explore all within walking distance. We were even able to walk to the next beach south. Very peaceful and safe feeling area.

We had a lovely stay! The place was better in person than it looks in the photos - very spacious with our 4 kids. Would definitely be back
Kelly T - 6/7/25 — Luna Palm Cove
Large enough for the whole Family plus more! We booked Marvel for a long-overdue family reunion and it couldn’t have been better. Big rooms, big table, and plenty of space to reconnect.
