Family Cabin
We had a lovely stay in the Daintree (two adults and infant). Pictures as described. Dinner was lovely and great value and we got the chance to see a snake at breakfast which was a highlight. Had a little dip in the gorge nearby. Beautiful peaceful surroundings! Baby was sleeping at checkout and we are so grateful to the host for allowing us the extra bit of time and not feeling rushed in the morning

On the Wallaby Eco Lodge - Private Twin Room
The stay was great, such a lovely hostel with clean rooms and amenities! Will definitely be back!

2 Bedroom self contained apartment
Wayne’s place was very clean and comfy for family of 4 to stay. Would recommend to others who are seeking for an accommodation that is near Cairns city.

Fully Self Contained One Bedroom Apartment-1
We were in Cairns for a fleeting visit so needed somewhere in the city. This place was great - clean, tidy, central to everything that we needed, walking distance to the esplanade and quiet at night. We checked in after hours and instructions were easy to follow and within minutes we had keys are were in the apartment. Would definitely consider this place again if in Cairns for a longer stay without a car.

Two bedroom Treehouse in 100 acres of private Rainforest
aww it was the most peaceful place yo write my vows for my wedding. couldn't think of a better bridal shower at a peace place. it was surreal place. I'm a bug sucker for nature and the jungle and this place just exceeded my expectations . I'd definitely come back with my husband next time.

Cairns City Palms - Executive Suite
Nice stay, as described. You can tell effort and thought has been put into the property's presentation and the guest experience. Staff very nice, pool looked lovely and nice music playing in the room on arrival was very welcoming. Basic bathroom, basic kitchen equipment but adequate. Salt&pepper sachets and a generous amount of milk are provided and breakfast is available daily. The only drawback was the difficulty i had getting my heavy suitcase up the external flight of stairs, getting it down in the morning even harder. Others with disabilities consider asking for a ground floor room or if assistance is available. Would stay again.

Sandcastles 1770 Motel Rooms
Kitchenette was really well equipped. Bathroom was spacious and beds were really comfortable. Would definitely stay again

Dandaloo Unit 7
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dandaloo Gardens. Only a 5 minute walk from bus station making it convenient to get to. Spacious cabin with all facilities needed for our stay including a TV, sofa and a comfortable bed. Great location to explore the island and only a 10 minute walk from the Rock Wallabies. Highly recommend!

Private accommodation on the beachfront Palm Cove
Perfect location right in the middle of the esplanade. Great cafe right out the front. Room was larger than expected with a couch as well which was a pleasant surprise.

Spa Room with Private Terrace Overlooking Pool
Amazing stay! So close to everything and it was beautiful. Bed was comfy and we were provided with more than enough towels. Easy check in and check out. If we ever visit Palm Cove again, we will be back!

Cairns Central Plaza Hotel Executive Studio
Great stay as usual! Check in after hours was very easy. Will stay again for sure.

Character filled Doctors Quarters
Love, love, love this place, it’s beautiful with loads of character and charm. My stay here was a delight ...

Oceanview on Lake
The views from the balcony of the ocean and mountains are spectacular. Best unit in the complex. A great walk along the water and only 1 mile to the terminal to get boats to the Great Barrier Reef. Good pool at the unit and also a public one along the water. Great restaurants within a short walk. This was a highlight of our trip!

Stunning Two Bedroom Resort View Stay 2+ & Save
Very friendly people, lovely facilities and really enjoyed it!

Room 2 The Commie - Single Bed w/ Air Con
I had a great stay. The staff are super welcoming and friendly. It is, as described, staying in a lovely old pub with shared facilities. A basic bedroom, that for the price, is better than a dorm room at a backpackers. Yes, it is a bit noisy but that didn't bother me. A bit of a walk into town, or there is a bus but it doesn't run very often.

Suite 2 on Glenlyon
Mj is quite helpful and supportive. She always response quickly. Thank you Mj for hosting us.

Juliette’s View: Cairns Boutique Stay
nice location , easy walking downtown from here and in the middle of lots of restaurants and close to boardwalk. managers of the hotel very friendly also despite this being a private booking. great to have some small things like excellent teas , ice cold water and leftovers from other guests like butter etc.
