Lovely Holidayhome4U @ Trinity Bch

JudithRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Florien was extremely welcoming, right down to having ice blocks for my three children in the freezer and water in a bowl for my dog. He was very responsive when I had to text as I couldn’t work out the bbq. He maintained the property in a very unintrusuve and respectful way. Pool was immaculate and very much enjoyed by my children. Quiet and safe location. Loved my 5 week stay there. Highly recommend.

Family Apt (no.2).

AliceRating, 5 stars27 months ago
We loved our stay at Mango Lagoon. It was just what we needed. Beautiful pools, kitchen space and comfortable beds. Would have been nice to be able to look out the window with the aircon still going (louvres needs to be closed to have aircon) but that’s a small issue of preference really as we would have loved to enjoy the view and pool view while we were nice and cool inside.

Clean & Green Edge Hill, 7 Mins to airport & CBD

KerriRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Our family enjoy staying at David's so much we have been back 4 times. The pantry is well stocked. The living areas are large and comfortable. Undercover parking and a covered clothes line make dealing with wet season rain easy. There is also a good size internal laundry with a washing machine and separate dryer. All the bedrooms are a great size and the beds are comfortable. David's home is in a wonderful location. If you feel like a short walk the botanical Gardens and cafes are only minutes away. It's also only short drive to many of Cairns best attractions including the Sky rail and scenic railway, aquarium and lagoon. The location is also ideal, if you want to explore a little north of Cairns and visit Port Douglas, Mossman or the Daintree. You will also be well placed to vist Hartley's, and have an up close breakfast will the koalas. David's place is easily the best value in Edge Hill.

Beachside Apartment With Pool And Garden View!

LibbyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
John & Sheree’s apartment was perfect for our short stay. It was so peaceful, tranquil surrounds leading to pool & a lovely stroll along the meandering Path into Palm Cove. Communication was great, John was very helpful with any queries. The apartment was well appointed with an extremely comfy king bed. We will certainly consider Agin apartments an again if we were to head to North Queensland. Loved it!

Comfy apartment @ cairns city

LeanneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Very central location and suited our needs perfectly. We loved the security of having a car park undercover & locked up. We also enjoyed the large balcony. Any problems were solved very quickly & Shirley was a delight to deal with. On arrival in a new town & with a hire car the instructions for finding the key wasn’t very clear. After driving around the block because we missed it, we stumbled upon it at the car park entrance. All other instructions were spot on & clear. Great place to stay.

Trinity Beach 3 bdrm, 2 bathroom tropical home

ArnabRating, 5 stars6 months ago
I recently stayed at this incredible Airbnb, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! From the moment we arrived, the place exceeded our expectations. The home was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The attention to detail made it feel like a luxury hotel, yet with the comfort and warmth of a home away from home. The host was outstanding—super responsive, accommodating, and genuinely thoughtful. They provided excellent local tips, from nearby restaurants to hidden gems in the area, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location was perfect, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but still close to everything we wanted to explore. Whether we were relaxing in the cozy living room, enjoying morning coffee at the pool-view backyard or winding down in the plush beds after a day of adventures, every part of the stay was pure bliss. I highly recommend this airbnb for anyone looking for a perfect blend of comfort.

Leigh's place was amazing. She took care of every minute details to make our stay comfortable. I would love to stay at her place when I come back to visit Cairns. It's totally value for money.

Great staying at Nigel's place close to everything we needed, great communication. Big roomy place, great for my 5 year old daughter she had a ball swimming in the pools. It is a very secure place. The grounds are wonderful the apartment was lovely. Had a bit of a hiccup checking in when the key was not ready for pick up but Scott came straight away and let us in. Over all we would stay at Nigel's place again with out hesitation.
