About this property

Tropicana Bungalow - Retro Getaway

Summary:
Why just rent a room, when you can enjoy a delightfully private and wonderfully immersive tropical experience? This stunning home has been lovingly refurbished in cool retro California style - featuring an eclectic blend of boho and coastal themes, sympathetically adapted to our lush tropical rainforest surroundings.

*We are dog friendly. Please ensure to check the house rules if you are planning to bring your dog.

The Space:
You’ll start to unwind from the very first moment, as you soak up the soothing vibes while relaxing on the elegant porch of this welcoming family getaway. There’s plenty of comfortable outdoor space to simply bask and chat…or just watch the world go by. And you’ll find our dedicated pet area and fully fenced yard are perfect for chilling with your furry family member - so bring the whole family - including your pooch - what could be better!

Fabulously stylish, but oh so comfortable, this property delivers a carefree retro California feel with a modern tropical twist. The stylish, spacious lounge with its soft neutral tones and large dining table, provides a cozy hub for entertaining or just settling down to watch Netflix. The retro theme and funky tropical artworks add a touch of glamour to the bedrooms, one of which is fitted with a plush queen bed for a restful nights sleep. The twin bedroom boasts two plush extra long singles, which can be adapted into a king bed upon request.

We also went the extra mile and created a room dedicated to your furry family member. Your pooch has a bed (small to medium sized dogs) and a couple of doggy bowls too. And we added some chairs - so you can sit and enjoy precious time together. We do ask that you please be respectful and keep your doggo in his room, on the porch or in the fully fenced secure garden.

We hope you enjoy staying in this space as much as we thoroughly enjoyed creating it.

Guest Access:
Check in available until 10pm.

You have exclusive access to the property and fenced garden during your stay. We ask that you keep your furry family member in the designated dog area inside and also the fenced yard is obviously fine.

The Neighborhood:
You are conveniently located a few kilometres from the city and the esplanade but if you don't feel like going very far at all, you are a few minutes walk from our favourite cafe in town, Brother Jenkins serving up old time favourites with a funky twist.

Also, 10 minutes walking you have a bottle shop, bakery, cafe and grocer.

Getting Around:
The house is situated less than 3 minutes drive to the heart of the city and 6 minutes from the airport. Cairns central shopping centre and the esplanade are both a 20 minute stroll.

The best way to visit Cairns, in my opinion, is to hire a car. there are so many awesome things to see, just a short drive away. Such as waterfalls, beaches, botanical gardens, the list goes on. At night time, due to the close proximity of the city centre, taxi's are very cheap. Better still, Uber has arrived in Cairns and provide a great service...a trip to the city centre is approximately $8.

Other Things to Note:
Tours & Car hire

We also have an in-house travel agency, Cozie Travel, with local travel experts that have a wealth of experience booking a wide range of tours, both within Cairns and all over Australia.

We are more than happy to help with booking your trips and assisting with car rentals. We can probably answer any queries you might have in relation to tours and excursions, so do reach out to us - even if it’s just for honest advice!

Interaction with Guests:
We will meet and greet you at the property with keys and show you around. After that, feel free to contact us for any questions you might have and if you need us, we are only a phone call away.

Payment and booking troubles
A few weeks before our reservation I received an email that there was an issue with my payment. After extensive email back and forth with the property management group and VRBO I was asked to make payment off platform. This wouldn’t have been an issue, but due to extreme weather and cancelled flights we needed to adjust our stay dates. The property company allowed us to extend our stay but we ultimately had to pay for an extra day we didn’t stay at the property and were given no reason or justification. Also the property didn’t have enough towels: 4 bath towels, 1 hand towel, and no face towels for our four day stay. The gate to the back grassy area was locked.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
Likes: Clean, quite close to the beaches (5 minute drive) comfy beds, Netflix and Prime on cable. Wifi worked well. To Improve: Two box in the wall air conditioners were quite loud and you couldn't run it in the second bedroom as it was noisy. The ceiling fans on setting 1 (lowest) were quite loud and blew heavily (not comfortable) The bungalow is located right on a busy section of road where work traffic started at around 5am and generally quite noisy until late at night. The apartments next door had a car parking sensor spotlight on all night shining in the bedrooms which made one of the rooms quite light. Nowhere to hang anything, in the bathroom and general towels etc. Need screens on some windows and even front door to allow air in.

Tropical Bungalow
This property is comfortable , well maintained and accords with its in-line description . It is convenient to town provided one has a car. It is peaceful and private but Severin Street is a little noisy with vehicular traffic early in the morning.

About the host

Hosted by Tommo Railton

Host profile image
At Cozie Homes, we understand owners’ and guests' needs and wants because of our own personal experiences. We started out on Airbnb with a single room in our own house. Our success with this single room inspired us to let an entire floor, offering a cozie, self-contained apartment in our Queenslander. This eventually became two apartments, and we then spent a couple of years creating the perfect formula for maximising bookings and customer satisfaction.

A year later, we bought a second property and repeated the formula, to great success. Now, a few years down the line, we are a fully licensed real estate agency with a plethora of awesome properties, which we manage on behalf of their owners. Each one unique in its own way, sympathetically handled to reflect the style and personality of the owner.

With a strong background in hospitality and Cairns-focussed tourism, we really do have what it takes to make your guests feel welcome and happy during their stay. Our attentive, professional approach generates regular 5 star reviews to maximise ongoing bookings and a great reputation.
