Third time just as good

We love this accommodation and especially the view. Could just sit on the expansive balcony all day and listen to the ocean and watch the waves. Hopefully we will be back.

Back for another great stay

Such a great place, location, beach across the road, views, privacy, and well set up. Love the pool at Drift too. Kitchen is small and adequate but bring any food as no supplies. Not a problem as Coles at Clifton Beach or supermarket across the road available. Perfect.

Getaway

Just loved my stay. The location, views, comfortable bed and all the amenities. I couldn't have wished for anything more. The pool was ideal for my morning workouts and the walks at sunrise were truely amazing. So easy to get around without a car and the local bus went every half hour into Cairns.
