Interaction with guest

We like to introduce ourseleves to you and assist with any help for tours or local info.We meet you, show you the property and make sure your stay is just as you had expected. Whilst we do live on the premises we are not always on the property- if your looking for a hotel resort.. that is not what we offer- your accommodation is private to the family residence. We have 20 years of experience living here in Cairns and are more than willing to tell you the best places to have brunch, which trips to the reef are the most fun or how to find local waterfalls without having to drive more than 10 minutes! While you stay with us in Cairns we want you to feel like a local and experience Cairns in a way that only a few of us truly know how.
