House was perfect for our family of 6!! Lots of space and the kids loved the pool! Highly recommend and would definitely stay again

Beautiful place, supportive and friendly host! The thoughtful details and a comfortable bed, along with the host's excellent communication, made it an ideal and peaceful retreat. Thanks again 🙏 And see you next time

The best location! Especially if you have kids. One minute walk to the park and maybe 5 to swimming net. Sitting on the porch and drinking coffee while the kids swam was the best. Hosts were so quick to respond to any problems. We had a lovely time!
This was a lovely place to stay. Very peaceful and a lovely beach to walk on.

Overall the place is really nice, given the location in palm Cove and it is in walking vicinity to all the restaurants
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 spot, close to the beach and shops and still feels quite private and chill. Lovely backyard, beautiful furniture! Love the place!

Unforgettable Bali Escape! Pura Indah completely exceeded expectations, delivering the Bali magic at home without the crowds or the flight. We were awestruck by the sheer size! The genius layout features three separate bedroom bungalows connected by a walkway to a massive, open-concept main living area. The lack of solid walls (just windows/doors) makes the space breathtaking and tranquil—we felt instantly at home. The welcome package was a delightful surprise, and we loved feeding the goldfish. One week was far too short—we can't wait to return! Highly recommended for a luxurious, unique, and peaceful escape. Thanks Antje it was unforgettable.

Gorgeous property! Spacious and well equipped as well as being clean and homely. The location was perfect for our family. Public transport was within easy reach and the neighbourhood was easy to navigate round. Erin was great to communicate with and all the instructions/ information were precise and helpful. Highly recommended

Very comprehensive and organized display of kitchen alliances. Warm and chill atmosphere of indoor design with beautiful lake view. Property is super clean and detailed check-in instructions. While the sound insulation is not perfect, and the key safe at the main door is a bit hard to operate. A very pleasant experience, thank you!

Best location in Palm Cove, lovely resort/ facilities. Spacious apartment with everything you need, loved the two bathrooms. Apartment is over two levels (2nd&3rd floor) and access only via stairs. No problem for us but may be tricky for people with lots of luggage/ poor mobility. Balcony is perfect spot to watch the sky turn pink through the palm trees. Would love to come back
Great location and well set up for a large group. The space worked well for us and was convenient for what we needed. That said, the property could benefit from some maintenance. The heaters weren’t very effective, so it was often quite cold inside. The drying room also didn’t work well, leaving gear damp in the mornings. The shower curtains and bathroom ceiling had mould and mildue, which was not ideal. For a group of guys it wasn’t a big issue, but with a bit of investment in upkeep the place could be much more comfortable for everyone. Overall, we’d definitely stay again — just think the property has the potential to be even better with some attention to these details

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!

Perfect in every way. The property was just a beautiful and well maintained as the images. It was the perfect space for my family and I to get away for the weekend. Great location, nice and close to everything
Jennifer - 6/8/25 — The Hamptons at Kings
Loved the unit, well set out and a lovely view of the marina and mountains. Close to everything
