I cant tell how much I loved this place! If youre having a problem Deciding Id say go for it! Wifi is fast, AC works well, the house has a cosy and welcoming vibe. It almost feels like home. It also has a cute little pool to relax and chill in. I really love my stay here. This is my first night and Im already loving it so much! The owners are fast to reply and help. Its very conveniently located near the cairns city. Definitely would come back here in my next visit!

Excellent location which is just opposite to the train station and shopping center! 2 minutes walking distance to jetty. Very convenient for cooking. The reason that I didnt give 5 stars is because not feeling welcoming at all. There was a lady cleans up the accommodation everyday but never greet to us and no smiles. But she did greet to some white guests. Feeling so bad at this. Hope can be improved.
