This igloo has it all. Everything you need to cook, beach, grills and picknick tables right across the street, pool, easy access to everything Trinity Beach has to offer. Great restaurants in walking distance. Parking spot comes with the unit and lots of cool stuff in driving distance. If I get up to FN QLD again, I will not look for any other lodging.
Unique accomodation right on the beach, very clean inside and out . Didn’t even know we had neighbours as everyone was so quiet. I really enjoyed the pool great temp. Communication with host was spot on. A large choice of food options within walking distance, very close to cairns. The only bad thing I could say is we didn’t stay long enough. I hope to return in the future.
