Carinya - Secluded luxury minutes from the beach
Our stay was fantastic! The location was perfect, close to everything we needed. The place was spacious, beautifully designed, and well-equipped with everything for a comfortable stay. We would definitely recommend it and would love to come back!

Stylish Villa near City, Airport & Botanic Gardens
Billy’s accomodation was very nice and clean. It had everything necessary and everything was easily accessible. the place is very wide and perfect for a large family. The location is very close to the city (around 10minutes of driving) and close to all the activities. Billy was extremely hospitable and communication was amazing. Would go again

Cove House: Coastal Convenience by the Pool
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful Palm Cove home! The pool was amazing, and the peaceful, beautifully landscaped neighbourhood made our visit even more relaxing. Just a short stroll away from Palm Cove Esplanade, we enjoyed easy access to great restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend exploring the neighbourhood on foot—it's stunning! Big thanks to Boutique Collection, who were exceptionally responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

The Bird House: Poolside Haven a Stroll from Beach
Had an amazing stay at this beautiful villa, will definitely book again next time we are on holiday in Palm Cove. Thanks again 🙏

Palm Cove Holiday Retreat
Ty’s place was a comfortable and clean stay, it felt just like home. Communicating with Ty was easy and smooth, making our stay so much more relieving and relaxing. The place was truly stunning and was a wonderful visit. My family and I loved the house and will definitely come back!

Pura Villa - Tropical Luxury Living
We had an amazing stay at Cozie Homes’ fantastic accommodation in Palm Cove. The house was in a superb location just a stones throw from the beautiful Palm Cove beach, which also has numerous bars, restaurants and shops close by. The accommodation itself was spotless, beautifully furnished, and well appointed. The outside space was very comfortable for 4 people to spend time in, and the barbecue was a very welcome addition, with everything we needed to use it provided for our stay. The pool was also a very welcome feature in the tropical heat! The bathrooms were modern and spotless, as were the bedrooms, with wonderfully comfortable beds, and fans and air conditioning to keep cool in the heat. We loved the area which was very peaceful and locals were friendly. We even used the local health club gym and swimming pool which you can pay to attend on a pay as you go basis. We couldn’t recommend Cozie Homes highly enough, being great hosts and providing everything we needed for our stay

The Anchorage - Ultimate Waterfront Villa
The wifi was very slow when we first arrived, and then the router broke, Thomas sent someone to install a brand new fancy wifi which completely transformed the wifi service, much appreciated by the family members working from the house. House was immaculate, and the linen change was hotel quality. Very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and a really good bbq (unlike many airbnb properties). Thanks Thomas for the great service.

Coral Shore Villa
From the moment we booked we were looked after by everyone at platinum property. Communication was super efficient, helpful and friendly. All our needs were anticipated and communicated efficiently, even offering to organise day trips for our group. We were so glad we had such a seemless check in on the day with Fon meeting us at the outstanding property. Do not hesitate to use Platinum Property they are absolutely fantastic, they genuinely want you to have a great stay and nothing is too much trouble. I will definitely seek rentals through them before anywhere else in the future.

Skyborn Condo
Fantastic place and location to stay as a family. We loved it!

53A Murphy Street - 4 Bedroom Villa Close to Town
This was just the location for a group to relax and enjoy the town of Port Douglas. We loved being able to walk just a short block into the main street and yet be in a quiet spot. The pool and yard gave us a beautiful place to relax enjoying the winter warmth.

The Zanzoo Estate, Redlynch Valley
Awesome host, made sure we had everything needed in preparation for the cyclone and subsequent flooding. Communication prior and during our stay was very good. The home was an awesome choice for our large family with plenty of space for everyone. Once all the rain had past the children had a ball playing tennis and creating games outside in the well kept grounds (the care taker was out immediately cleaning up the property etc). Highly recommend this property

The Last Resort: A Two Pool Luxury Villa
It was a great stay for a larger group. Never thought it would be this easy to handle . They were really nice and friendly. Five star ⭐️ for their hospitality and quality service.

Iluka Beach Villa - Port Douglas
Iluka Beach Villa was just perfect for our family of eight. Each bedroom is ensuite providing privacy for our grown up kids. The villa had a great kitchen set up, very comfortable beds and a lovely outdoor area with a bbq, it’s within walking distance to the shops and to the beach, would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Beach House 5 bedroom 5 bathroom
John’s place was the perfect home for our family holiday. We all meet from interstate and this property was everything we could’ve hoped for. Plenty of space, with each bedroom having their own ensuite. The pool was definitely a favourite for everyone and such a beautiful space. We would definitely recommend this house for anyone’s trip to Port Douglas as it’s about a 10 min drive out of the Main Street and it is super private and a quiet area. It was a very clean house, John was very responsive and helpful when needed.

Ambience @ Niramaya
Wow! What a treat to stay here!! Absolutely gorgeous and loved that each of us had our own private retreat as we were traveling with another family. The grounds and courtyard transported us to Bali. Upgraded amenities and comfortable beds made this a great place to stay! Debbie was very responsive and gave clear instructions. I wish i could rate higher than a 5 star- it was AMAZING!

Mango Wood Villa - Tropical Coastal Living
Had a great stay! Would definitely book again

Stunning modern designer home with private pool
We couldn’t be more happy with our stay! When we say this house was pristine we mean it, the entire home is beautiful, great quality amenities to use, little things like big bath sheets for towels, having washing machine pods and dishwasher pods available, all cooking utensils were top notch, the fridge with little bits and pieces were exactly what we needed when we first arrived. The kids loved the pool, the property itself is in a great location to duck up to port Douglas or into cairns with some fantastic restaurants at trinity beach! Andrea and Mark were so helpful with an early checkin for us so we could be settled before our event, super responsive and awesome hosts! It’s a 10 stars from us! When we visit again we would love to stay here! Thank you Andrea and Mark ✨

Pembroke House - Inner city luxury
Our stay was great - the house was beautifully presented and was well stocked with all necessary items! House was very clean - and enough room for the 5 of us ..

Villa Maasai - Coastal Luxury With a Heated Pool
This was an amazing place to stay! It was huge with four big bedrooms surrounding a gorgeous pool in the middle. The living room was huge. There was a nice side sitting area and everything was fantastic. The location is 10 to 15 minutes away from all the things we wanted to go to, other than about a half hour drive to downtown Cairns. It was fun to take out a couple cute crabs after a big rain who got in the pool at one point (FYI the net is in the back next to the shed house). The only problems we had were that the washing machine broke down on Australia Day so we had to wait another day for the host to fix it, which they did right away, so that was good. And then one of the air conditioners leaked onto one of the beds, but we were leaving the next day so that person just switched to a different room and the owner was ready to come fix it right away as well. So, excellent hosts and an amazing place. Highly recommended!

The Last Resort Villa 2
We had a lovely stay and perfect with how close it is to everything!

Harbour Drive Luxury in Bluewater Estate
Really nice place to chill out and relax at. Quiet neighbourhood with pretty much no traffic or people passing by. Huge kitchen is you want save a few dollars eating out all the time. We had breakfast there each morning and had a few BBQ's by the pool at night. Tonnes of fridge space for drinks and food as well. Kitchen had everything you could need with utensils and equipment. Bedrooms were great. Each one is airconditioned and was very welcome after spending a day out in the sunny tropical weather. Everyone in our family slept very well. You will need a car though. There is a biggish shopping centre at Smithfield for groceries, but nothing within walking distance really. There is a restuarant down near the boat harbour which is within walking distance, and we went to once and was okay, but we went down to Trinity beach several times and there are some great places down there. All in all, really enjoyed the stay. Really didn't want to leave when the time came to go. Great pool.

The Villas Palm Cove 1 BR Villas with Private Pool
Beautiful, calm and relaxing place to stay excellent getaway well equipped and love the privacy of having your own backyard pool

Tropical Villa Hideaway
We absolutely loved the beautiful home. It is spacious and has everything that a large family would need. The pool is amazing and the kids had a lot of fun with the pool toys that were provided. The kitchen is perfect and there was plenty of fresh linen for our stay. Carol is wonderful and the welcome basket was such a nice touch, would absolutely recommend and will be looking out for this property for our next visit to Cairns.
