A Great Spacious Beach House - A home away from home
We had a great memorable experience at the Great Northern Beach House at 67 Sims Esplanade Yorkeys Knob. The beachfront house is clean tidy and spacious enough to accommodate 11 people. The host Sylvia and her Partner were too good, accommodating and helpful to make our stay comfortable and memorable in Cairns. If you are a large family we definitely recommend a stay here when visiting Cairns We will surely come back again and enjoy Sylvia’s warm hospitality Nabeel & family

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. Sylvia was very responsive to questions
Yorkeys Knob is a quiet residential area right on the water. It was conveniently located to all the sights we wanted to see and do while in Queensland. The 10-06 cafe was a cute place within walking distance. Sylvia was very responsive to our requests.
