Couldn’t beat the location—literally steps to the beach and all the best cafes. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable and stylish stay.
This place was perfect

Great stay at the Lanterns Apartments
The palace is just as the name suggests- a true palace. The house and location are spectacular. The hosts are responsive to questions as well. The layout is great for a large group or family as all the rooms are private with their own bathroom. The common area is also amazing with a large central kitchen for making fun group meals and two sizable separate sitting areas. The decorating is over the top in a very special and unique way with every detail thought of to help you escape and appreciate the local culture. We were blown away!
The rooftop was excellent and had everything you wanted and needed. The apartment was also equipped with more than necessary and very clean. Easy access to keys and informative emails from hosts. Only two downfalls which may not worry many was just the stairs to the rooftop and the balcony and rooftop needed some form of sun screening as it’s very bright and hot after lunch time with no shade outside.
Loved it, perfect for a stay with kids.

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.

Erin is a great host, easy to deal with and very helpful, definitely recommend Soleil on Jonson, a very well appointed 2 bedroom, fairly new apartment. Close to all amenities and walking distance to restaurants, supermarket and also the beach is really accessible within 25 minutes walking or 5 minutes driving. To top it all off the weather is milder and quite inviting

We loved our stay in this apartment! Spacious, clean & great location. Facilities within the complex were great too, nice pool area, bbq and gym. Would stay again!

Thank you for our amazing stay !!! We were two couples and the place had everything and more for us, honestly couldn’t have been happier with the home. We also LOVED the spa :)) Great walking distance to the shops and esplanade. Great recommendations and tips too ! Will definitely come back again

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.

Absolutely loved our stay. Alpha Luxe is tucked in a quiet pocket but still so close to everything. The pool area was a dream, and the kitchen had everything we needed for a long weekend in. Special thanks to Erin for making it all so smooth!

Loved the stay so peaceful
Amazing location short stroll to the beach, shops and restaurants. The accommodation was perfect for a small family of 3 but would easily accommodate a larger family or two couples perfectly. All the amenities you need for a week long holiday. Thank you for having us!
We had a wonderful stay at Squatters Run apartment 20. Great fit out, very central, excellent communication. Would stay again! Thanks

Positives: The house has everything you could ask for and it is nice to see previous renters leave equipment behind for other people to utilise, we left some pool toys and other nic nacs Negatives: Would be nice to have a/c in every room, offset the a/c’s with solar. A light over the dart board😉

We had an amazing stay at Alpha Luxe. The location is perfect, right in the centre of town yet you feel like you are in a private sanctuary when you are in the home. The home is well equipped and spacious and very comfortable for groups or families. Would absolutely love to come back!

Perfect family home! Great house for a large family. Walk to beach, restaurants. Neat and clean.
Simon - 16/12/24 — Villa Rosa Trinity Beach
Great place to stay out of the hustle and bustle but still close to the snow in Thredbo and Perisher/ Guthega. Plenty of places to walk in the bush surrounding, abundant bird and wildlife to photograph. Stunning views of the snowy mountain tops. Perfect comfortable accommodation to relax and get away from it all.
Jo B - 15/9/25 — Nowhere Apartment
The property is spacious and very pleasant. The hosts were truly lovely, always quick to respond and available for anything we needed. When we ran out of toilet paper and dishwasher tablets, we messaged them and they promptly sent us more. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great stay. We are grateful for every moment we spent there and wish the hosts all the best
