Jim on reception was very welcoming and friendly. As we had flown from Adelaide on the 6am flight we were very pleased to be able to access our room early so we could start our relaxing holiday. The property is older but everything was clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable. It was in a great position close to the beach and restaurants. Water pressure in the shower was a bit feeble but adequate. We would definitely book this property again on our next visit to palm cove. ##### jan Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ben 17 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice clean well situated unit.

My apartment was perfect. I'd have breakfast there that I cooked myself before exploring Palm Cove and the local attractions. Jim at reception would book anything you'd like to including transport. After exploring Palm Cove, Cairns the reef or where you went. You come home to relax before treating your self to the local restaurants. Having such prime location is amazing. After a long I'd go for a dip in the heated pool and hot tub spa. Amazing atmosphere. My favourite place, I'll be back. ##### Martin Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen 8 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The hosts were very friendly, generous and and accommodating.
