Great location at Palm Cove, very central. Photos made accommodation look very good. In reality it's a little tired but painting and furniture refurb are currently underway. Management excellent.
Our apartment was perfect for 2 people. It was spotlessly clean, well-appointed and with everything we could need. We had a beautiful view overlooking the garden and the sea beyond. The complex was very quiet and well-located for restaurants, shops and the local bus. We particularly appreciated the private transfers to and from the airport and the opportunity to visit Port Douglas for the Sunday market. Lisa and Peter were very congenial and helpful hosts and we loved our stay.
Great environment and location, lovely interior, very kind manager Lisa, very nice owner, my wife and I had a wonderful and comfortable time.

The location was amazing, just steps from the beach. The room was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we wanted for a few day's stay including clothes washer and dryer and full kitchen. The pool and pool area was beautiful. There were jets for a relaxation, nice lounge chairs and even a grill for cooking out. Would highly recommend.

Great property with balcony - overlooking water. I enjoyed the quiet retreat when travelling for work. Palm Cove has a range of restaurant options. Some really awful and some very tasty. Staff very welcoming and great communication.

Fantastic apartment with everything you could need. Lovely pool just across from the beach.
Will stay here again. Highly recommended
Great location in centre of town, accommodation adequate but some areas/items needed upgrading. No information in apartment and every time we went to office nobody was there to arrange hire car, trips etc.
