Vacation rentals with a hot tub in Manunda

Platypus Retreat is everything it says and more. Secluded, romantic, beautiful. We picked up Groceries before we arrived, but found out when we got there that we didn’t need as much as we thought. Condiments, tomato sauce, salad dressing, butter, all sorts of spices were all there. While we had a bit of trouble using the oven, it was no problem- we used the bbq instead. We arrived to music playing softly and homemade bread. Just wow. And there was complimentary milk as well. Oh- and as true Americans, we fully appreciated the ice machine. The pool was delightful, albeit slightly chilly for us. We could have asked Gemma to adjust, but it was our last night and we just relaxed in the spa instead- as the rain fell and the local animal life were serenaded us. Couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing way to end our whirlwind trip to AU.

We had a lovely stay at Helen’s Brinsmead house. It is a stunning location and truly feels like a retreat nestled in the hills around Cairns. The house was very clean and had everything we needed, including snacks, fresh fruit, milk, a fresh loaf of bread and butter to get us started when we arrived. We enjoyed a lot of time on the beautiful and spacious decks that the house offers, and made good use of the barbecue. Helen was a fantastic host who left easy to follow instructions for our arrival and departure. We will definitely consider another stay here in the future!

I have to say, Colin’s property was simply comfortable, unique & within a great location of Cairns. Despite the hot spa being unavailable due to maintenance, Colin made mine and my family’s quick stay like as if we were at home. The backyard/pond area submerged within the rainforest was an absolute conversation starter and not to mention an amazing atmosphere to have food and drinks near. Will absolutely mention this place to my friends and family if ever they were travelling and requiring a place to stay within Cairns.

Excellent house in a great location.. TV could be updated to a smart TV so the kids could watch netflix or to watch footy over the weekend.. but other than that no complaints at all 👍

Great place to stay with family. The beautiful house has everything you need to enjoy your stay.

We have had a great stay in Sundream. It’s a beautiful, spacious, luxurious house in stunning surroundings. The beds were amazingly comfortable and we loved the indoor/ outdoor nature of the house. The pool was especially good with the bar area, music and fantastic, far reaching views across rain forest. The adults enjoyed it as much as the kids. The house has lots of different sitting areas which is great for groups and family gatherings. We would all love to stay again.

We had a lovely stay at Machans Beach! Cute beach cottage style place that we loved 🥰 Quiet beachside area walking distance to a cute cafe and awesome local pub and only 15 mins to Cairns city. Amazing communication and very helpful hosts. We’ll definitely stay again!!

Our stay at Manyana, Clifton Beach was a fantastic enjoyable week. The home was beautiful inside, very modern and tastefully furnished and decorated, very comfortable and roomy, and spotlessly clean, and the swimming pool was also very clean and a favourite for all of us. We were in easy walking distance to the local beach and shops, and only a few easy kilometres walk to Palm Cove. Fabian and his team were friendly and immediately responsive for any inquiries, and the welcome package awaiting us was the best and most extensive we have ever received at any of the many other airbnbs we have stayed. Thank you so very much for all the goodies and starter supplies Fabian. It made a big difference to us after a long drive getting there. A great home, beautiful surroundings and excellent hosts, made our stay very enjoyable and memorable. If your ever in the North, I strongly recommend you stay at Manyama. We will definitely be back.
