Waterfront holiday rentals in Great Barrier Reef

Scott & Kris’s communications was great & clear. The place was in a great location.. walking distance to everything. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks for the stay, J & M

This place was a gem. Right on the waterfront with cafes, beach a 2 min walk. The place was very nice and had everything you need. The host Kerrie, well there is 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, beyond and above making my stay fantastic ….. you won’t go wrong here. You even have a car space.. I will definitely return. Thank you Kerrie..

Kay was very helpful - she picked us up from the airport and took time to show us around the apartment. The apartment was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The location is excellent, handy for everything you need. There is a tour desk downstairs where you can book your activities. Overall, highly recommended.

Beautiful area, great apartment in a fantastic location!

This was the perfect spot for six girlfriends wanting to relax, recharge, and spend quality time together in a beautiful location. The apartment is gorgeous and the view from the balcony is amazing! Everything is within walking distance, and we loved having access to the lagoon pool, spa, and gym. We had such a great time — would definitely recommend!

We bumped into the host when arriving at the property. She was extremely helpful, showed us to our apartment, have us a tour, got the keys for us and went above and beyond. We were very comfortable throughout our stay. The place was very well equipped and overall we have a great time

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.

Claire’s place is stunning and creates a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere and is the perfect escape after a busy day. Claire met with me when I arrived (offered an early check in since the apartment was ready) and took me through which was a lovely way to get to know the accommodation.

Stayed here 2 times now highly recommend

Butterfly Bend was idyllic and beyond our expectations, we fell in love with this place. Emanuelle, Sharon and Juta (owners/caretakers) were all incredibly hospitable and put in a great effort to make our stay perfect. Excellent communication and local information, in the lead up and during. This off-grid home contained everything we needed for a great holiday, all the creature comforts and was easy living for our two young families. The spa overlooking the bubbling creek was a highlight, and the local beach a short walk. In every house space, you felt totally immersed in the rainforest. Lovely large indoor and outdoor dining and lounging areas, well-equipped kitchen with large oven/stove and serving window to the deck. Lush creek at your back door to explore. We highly recommend Butterfly Bend and will definitely re-book here when we return to the area. Thank you sincerely - Sharon, Emanuelle and Juta!

Coconuts 🌴 was the best family escape!. Private direct access to the beach!! Heaps of board games for game night, pool to relax after hot days at the beach, beautiful comfy lounge for movie time, tvs in the rooms! The house is amazing all you need for a holiday!

We stayed here for nearly a week, was quiet, basically on the beach, was an old beach house type of house, which made it feel more at home (Not worried about damaging the perfect home and gardens type of house) also allowed our very Large German Sheppard - Rex to stay and was fenced all around, with large deck also being able to be closed off,(The photos of house don't show it, but there is a gate on the deck to the stairs going down) so we didn't have to leave Rex in the yard worried if someone decided to open the main gate in the driveway and him being able to get out (a worry when you are 600kms from home and he doesn't know the area), enjoyed the peaceful settling and the views to the beach and islands and yes we did use the bath on the deck (at night) , maybe the only issue i could see what be some type of privacy screen for the bath on the deck would be good, enjoyable place, if I go to Yeppoon again, would use again if Meg would have us

Beautiful location on the lake. Definitely a place set up for large families or even multiple families to stay. Probably a bit of overkill for just two friends but, it was a great stay. Lots of amenities and activities.

Thankyou Shane and Tracey for providing lovely accommodation and being very helpful when I had questions. It was clean, peaceful and comfortable and had everything we needed.

Mint place to stay You feel like you are on holiday as soon as we arrived Unfortunately We were working in the area Clean and tidy Beds comfy A nice feel about the place Thanks for the experience

This place is beautiful! We had a special time away, in this lovely home, with excellent facilities. Will definitely come again!

Old school airBnB. Lived in space, had everything we needed. We were close to amazing restaurants (We highly recommend ‘A Touch of Salt’ superb 5⭐️ dining), the Cowboys Stadium & Townsville nightlife. Anthony’s place has a large balcony with a beautiful view of Castle Hill & the River/ Yacht Club. Whilst it was easy to access the building, it was still very secure (parking and accommodation) we would definitely stay here again! Thank you Anthony. Just a note for elderly visitors, both bathrooms (ensuite + main ) have over bath showers (quite a step up and into the bath - my 80 yo in-laws managed, but just an FYI for those of you wanting to stay with elderly family).🙏🏻

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

Marc’s place is located few blocks from town and across the road from the Cairns esplanade. If you have children, there’s a world class skateboard park, beach volleyball and Muddies water playground is a short walk. The accommodation is very homely with an equipped kitchen, balconies front and back with a comfortable lounge room. I was very surprised at the affordability of the accommodations so close to peak season and wouldn’t hesitate to book Marc’s accomodation again.

What a beautiful location - loved the large balcony overlooking the ocean with stunning views from the bedroom too! Enjoyable stay!! Would come back again ☺️

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 !

What an amazing place - so suited to the tropical North. Plenty of room inside and well laid out and spotlessly clean. A bit of a walk into town or just a AUD5 taxi ride if the heat makes you feel lazy. Highly recommended!

Andrew’s apartment is amazing, and a great find. It is furnished modern and extremely clean, and has lots thoughtful extras in the kitchen and bathrooms. Any communications we had with Andrew were responded by him promptly. The location is quiet, yet very close to amenities. We would highly recommend this property, and certainly will look to rebook when we are back in Cairns.

We enjoyed the apartment being right at the marina. There was everything we might have needed provided in the apartment. Situated only a short walk away from the Main Street of Airlie, but far enough away from the noise and bustle of the town. Pool was great for small kids and adults. We would love to come back again.
