The home is very spacious , great BBQ , and all kitchen items are there , the king bed is super comfy , good value for money
Our host was absolutely awesome. We had an awesome time in Cairns. Amazing value and location where we were. We would love to come back to Cairns and stay here.Tha k you for an amazing stay
Thank you to Vera for giving us an opportunity to have a budget-friendly holiday in Cairns. The house has everything you need - clean sheets and towels, comfortable beds, great hot water system, very clean patio area and well kept lawn (fully fenced and used by ourselves), washing machine and under cover washing line, wi-fi, TV, vacuum cleaner and hairdryer. Yes, there is some wear and tear on the property, and dust has settled into the nooks and crannies, but it was as expected. We have 4 kids and they all enjoyed our stay.
Clean spacious 3 bedroom apartment across the road from shops. Short walk to bus stop and not too far from CBD by car. Perfect for my requirements for business travel. Plenty of room to spread out for remote laptop working.
Not in the city so we booked a car which was required from airport as we travelled all over Cairns. Spacious bedrooms, and outdoor space. Great hospitality and had shops located within 1 km. Excellent location. Will return soon.
We have a pleasant and comfortable stay. The house is spacious with all necessary amenities. Mr Vera was so helpful and very easy to interact. The place is very affordable and it is in a convenient location.
Had everything we needed. Pong pong table was a bonus and loved being able to get our washing done and dried undercover. King bed was a bit firm but others were great. Pillows were to big for us but we just got some cheap ones and left them there for the next people. Free wifi was also appreciated
I stayed for a week and Vera is a great host and the front and rear yards are available for your pets to play and make home. Close to town and the northern beaches via western arterial rd. Large living area with plenty of seating and everything else you need for a long stay.
Vera’s house is spacious with everything you need to have a comfortable stay. Located near shops for food across the street and not far from the airport, night market and Esplanade. The host was very accommodating and ready to make your stay as best as possible! I would stay here again.
We had a great time at Vera's House! The host was fantastic and made us feel welcome. The house is conveniently located close to many local shops. Overall, it was a lovely experience!.
