"This property was excellent - it enabled a wonderful family vacatoin in Cairns for our family from Canada. Having a home base to do all our excursions from was amazing. I would recommend renting a car with this home as it is 15 mins away from Cairns, and there are not many Ubers etc that service this area - so you may have to wait a bit to catch a ride. We loved the layout of the home - kitchen and living room on one side, outdoor area in the middle, and bedrooms on the other side - made it...
