Waterfront vacation rentals in Palm Cove

Benjamin’s place was perfect! Great location! Easy access to everything while visiting Cairns. Easy check in and excellent communication. Highly recommend!

Apartment is beautiful. Location is perfectl, right above the restaraunts and on the waterfront. Easy stroll to the Esplanade. Great views of the boats coming and going from marina. We have stayed here twice and will stay again.

2 Norwegians arriving from Sydney on 3 weeks holiday in Australia. Fantastic location only a public bus trip fram Cairns. The only negative is the possibility to swim in the ocean.

Perfect stay! Such an amazing location, easy to walk to everything, fun boardwalk, and delicious restaurants!

cute apartment, very comfortable. Jodie left us a bottle of wine upon our arrival. we asked for an early check in and late check out and Jodie was able to accommodate us. Great experience. Thanks!

We made a last minute booking (spontaneous trip - booking was made onkt hours before arriving). Cheryl made the process so easy. Her communication was very polite, quick and thorough. Definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful family holiday at Dianne’s place. The apartment was perfect for our family with two young toddlers, beautiful setting, clean, comfortable and all the extras for kids, toys, pool toys and a great outdoor spa bath. We had a lot of fun at the resort beach pool and the location in Palm Cove is perfect, by the beach and restaurants. Would definitely recommend and would love to go back.

Excellent location near the pool and spa. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Also a convenient store/cafe located direct across the street. Celebrated my 50th birthday here and loved our stay. Recommend Vivo great restaurant. Dimitri is a great host and communicator. 2nd stay here. Thanks Dimitri.

A beautiful location with the sea just outside! Sunrises are superb. Shame you can’t swim in the sea due to the crocs.

Enjoyable stay for group of 5 friends. Lovely house and pool. In quiet neighbourhood north of Cairns.

We just finished up an amazing 1.5 weeks at Renee's beautiful place. We're a family of 4 (2 teenagers, 2 adults) and this house was perfect! We had enough room to spread out but also great common areas to share meals, conversation and games. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking - dishes, many different appliances, pots/pans as well as basic staples like olive oil. The outdoor spaces were lovely; the landscaping is beautiful and the large deck became our favorite place to hang out and watch the river, butterflies and birds. The layout was great for us - two of the bedrooms are connected to the main house via the deck so it gave everyone their own space. We had a chance to go swimming in the river which our kids loved. We arrived to Cairns very early & Renee was gracious enough to allow us to check in early which we appreciated after 28hrs of travel! We would definitely stay here again - we were sorry to leave!

We had the most memorable few days staying at this gorgeous property - plenty of space to relax, and perfectly kitted out for a super fun time with friends. Everything is of high quality and Graham and Leigh provided thoughtful touches as well as suggestions of what to do in the area. We absolutely loved it and can highly recommend it - it is just out of Cairns so perfect to nip into town, but Holloways has the feel of a tropical island and the house itself is just choice. We hope to be back soon!

This place was incredible. The pool overlooking the ocean was top notch, it was heated and so delightful. The space was fantastic, we came as a family of five which included my in laws. It was great to have bedrooms and “living rooms” (the game room on the bottom) on both floors so that we could each have space to ourselves. The beach was pebbly but if you walked down just a bit there was sandy and very swim-able water. The pebbly parts of the beach were incredible for finding beautiful shells and tons of sea glass! It’s a quick drive to Port Douglas which was great, and some tours even picked us up at the house! We have all said when we come back to the area this will be a spot we stay again.

Great location! Views, outdoor and indoor entertaining, multiple living spaces and a great pool. Perfect for multiple families staying together. This place is amazing So close to beach and house is equipped with everything. Would highly recommend. Thank you Barbara April 2025

What a wonderful stay! Beautiful home, lots of space. The house was very well appointed for our large group. We cooked two nights and went to local restaurants on the other nights. The pool was wonderful. The beach in front is beautiful. Watching the flying foxes fly overhead at sunset is unbelievable. Saw some wallabies as well in the neighborhood. What an amazing stay. Highly recommended. Convenient to downtown Cairns.

Great place and great communication from the hosts.

The apartment was very comfortable and had all the amenities needed. The aircon could be changed in every room (important in Cairns), the beds were super comfortable and the kitchen had everything needed. I found it a really nice balance between a hotel and airbnb. Thomas was very friendly and accommodating and I would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay in Apartment. Clean and nice like in description. Beautiful location - next to the beach and Restaurant. Supermarket on the oppside side of the Street. everything Was great. thanks Thomas

The location of the apartment and the views are great. The place is just as described & very comfortable. Thomas' responses & communication were always very prompt & helpful. I would highly recommend his place to anyone coming to Cairns.

A sprawling home with great views. Kitchen was fabulous. The bedrooms and bathrooms were top notch. The patio area had comfortable seating. Even though the place is a part of a small group of apartments, it felt totally private. Covered car park was a bonus. Hosts are super responsive and helpful. One reaches the place through two flights of narrow stairs. It may be difficult to carry large luggage or if you have mobility issues. Otherwise this is a dream vacation home

it would not hurt to provide garbage bags and laundry detergent.

We traveled to Cairns for a family vacation! Christine’s place was top notch in terms of location and surroundings with very happening cafes & restaurants just around the corner. Moreover, we spent 2 days just enjoying the property with great ocean views and coffee ! Pool & tennis lawn added more entertainment! This relaxed city & the property has given our family a core travel memory! Highly recommend this property a great family vacation living experience !

Paul's unit is in a perfect location. We canceled our car rental because everything is very walkable. Great restaurants, markets, shopping, and activities in the area. The balcony has a beautiful view of the esplanade. Loved hanging out at dusk watching the fruit bats. We will stay here again if we return to Cairns for a holiday! Recommend Passions of Paradise for snorkel/dive coral reef. Great staff and a wonderful boat! Thanks, Paul!

This stay was perfect for family. Vanessa is a great host. She was very responsive and helpful, especially with flexibility regarding check in and check out timings. The apartment is tidy, clutter free, peaceful and has all the amenities one would need for several days of stay. I would love to visit again in future.. :)
