Cosy and comfortable for a family of 6 adults and 2 kids under 6 Great communication with the manager and easy to collect the keys from a combination lock. The rooms were spacious with plenty of storage and well illuminated. The two lounges allowed for some of us to get some quiet time, both lounges had large TV's. The wifi worked great with 6 adults tapping into it. The individual room heaters and the gas heater in the main lounge allowed for a very comfortable stay. Lots of parking for three large cars and we made wonderful pizzas in the outside wood oven, like all ovens, it took about 4 hours and almost 40kgs of wood to get to temperature which is normal for such a large oven. Having said that you could still cook in it the following morning from the residual heat. We will be back as it was a great home for our entire family to gather.

Lovely and relaxing location with amazing sunsets + sunrises… We were 7 adults, 1 toddler and 2 babies and was a very accomodation area. Big bathrooms for everyone and bedrooms + cupboards were very spacious. Kitchen had every type of cutlery and crockery required for all occasions! Extremely impressive. Only small downfall was the amount of stairs as we had a toddler but didn’t ruin the holiday. One last thing… communication and response times were a 10/10 All in all - we thought it was great and thanks for having us

Great place to stay!

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.
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Rosa! The host was incredibly responsive and quick to address any questions or needs. The house itself was in excellent condition—spotlessly clean. Overall, the serene location, excellent cleanliness, and great communication from the host made this a great stay. Would recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful retreat close to nature! Just a small note: being in the middle of the wild, we did encounter some spiders, so a bit of caution at night is advised

The apartment was well situated with easy access to the beach, restaurants and shops. It was well appointed and had everything we needed for our stay.
A perfect home for multiple families. We had two toddlers and nanna with us, and had teenage cousins come visit during the day and this house was phenomenal catering to each age demographic perfectly. Huge pool for the big kids and adults with a long step that was perfect for the one year old to waddle around on and nanna to sit on. When we mentioned before arrival we had little kids the team were very responsive and helped out by getting multiple pool toys and a tiny baby pool that made all day play perfect. Incredibly well stocked house, so many appliances in the kitchen made eating in seamless and lots of food in cupboards. Excellent location

This house has serious wow-factor. From the luxe linen to the outdoor shower, every detail has been thought through. Erin was kind, professional and super responsive — we felt looked after from start to finish.

We have both been very impressed with last year and this year's holiday at "The Rocks" Coolum Beach. Prime position with great views and easy walking distance to the beach, all restaurants, shops etc. Staff amazing Sue really looked after us when rebooking us last year and Jackie the same for next year. We really appreciate this effort they put in as helps us immensely. Cheers from much cooler Tassie Maree+ Rob

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”!

A wonderful stay at Oceans Edge. Perfect home for a restful stay. Would highly recommend

Pool was very clean and house was very clean as well. I would recommend this place for anyone trying to find a place to stay during their visit to Cairns.

Great Stay

Soul Beach House was amazing. It had all the essentials that we needed! There wasn’t a single thing we were dissatisfied about. Amazing place, close to the beach and met all our needs and expectations!
Rachelle A - 21/7/25 — Soul Beach House
The house was clean and perfectly suited for two families, comfortably accommodating 4 adults and 5 children. The proximity to both the beach and inlet was unbeatable, and a leisurely stroll to Huskisson provided ample dining and shopping options. Highly recommended for a beach getaway!

Fantastic location, lovely older style chalet, terrific stay. All good. The location is fantastic. 5 minute walk along flat ground to the bottom of Friday Flats. Can't do better. Amazing location. Building is a little dated, but that's not an issue. It was very warm and very comfortable. Especially for off season. I might not have been particularly impressed paying $2000 a night in peak season, but for off season pricing it was fantastic. Saw some deer outside and it snowed in the village on our last night in September. Negative: Slight odor when we entered, though that dissipated fairly quickly. Also, the house number is actually 9A not 9.
