Amazing views, fabulous house!

We enjoyed a very relaxing stay at Hillview. The house was exactly as described, clean and stylish. It is in a great location, a few minutes into the centre of cairns, but also really handy for the main road north. The views from the veranda are amazing, whatever the weather. Our hosts were very helpful and friendly. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Nice Big House

Love the style- big kitchen with all you need. Only thing we could have wished for was that the pool was heated.

Stunning property

Our stay was sensational. The property, views, and location was perfect. The lovely little areas at the back and front of house were so special and we utilised every one of them. We met our super hosts who were absolutely gorgeous and so helpful. We cooked in most nights as the front veranda was so accommodating with the best views we didn’t want to be any where else. The nice touch of a bottle of wine and nibbles was very much appreciated - cannot wait to go back next year. Thank you Jacqueline & Richard. 👏

About the host

Hosted by Jacqueline and Richard

We fell in love with this property because of its cool breezes and breathtaking views. It offers peace and quiet whilst being close to all amenities and holiday attractions. Our property fringes the National Park so we are very fortunate to see the local birdlife daily and we would love you to have this same experience. The area is an established leafy suburb that has the traditional charm of yesteryear Cairns, with both traditional Queenslander and contemporary style living. The green arrow accessed from the rear of the property is part of a network of walking tracks that are part of the National Park and are very popular with locals for hiking.
We have spent time restoring the property to offer you a comfortable stay and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
