Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the apartment, the view, and the location. It means a lot to hear you'd happily stay again — we'd absolutely love to welcome you back anytime!
The Penthouse was perfect for our two couples in their 70’s!! Elevator from garage to rooftop and location was close to airport and not very noisy.
The pictures are accurate and communication excellent!
Highly recommend!

Couldn't fault the accommodation. Clean and tidy massive penthouse great location. The only downer was being under the flight path from the airport great for those of us with Flight Radar but not so great at 6-10 am for the Jetstar heading to Sydney.

We're thrilled to hear you found the accommodation spotless and enjoyed the penthouse and its great location. It was a pleasure having you stay with us. We hope to welcome you back in the future!
Accommodation just as the photo shows. Easy check in. Plenty of parking. Plenty of room. Comfortable bedding and furniture. Not far from esplanade and center of town.
Well priced. We will definitely stay again.

Nice But The Noise
The apartment was very pleasant but did not know that it was in the vicinity of the airport. Planes flying over on landing was a bit too much at times. Backpackers next door created lots of noise in general gatherings.
Booked this unit with friends and enjoyed a very relaxing break. Located close to all that Cairns has to offer without being impacted by crowds and traffic. Fantastic views. Highly recommend.
Our family enjoyed their time in the apartment. There was a lot of space for us all to hang out in and play games as a big family.

About the host
Hosted by Antje Gruttemeyer - Belle Escapes Cairns
As a long time resident of North Queensland and a highly experienced host in both Cairns and Port Douglas, I have a wealth of local knowledge and I understand exactly what guests need and want to enjoy a truly exceptional stay.
I love being an ambassador for Cairns and I’m always delighted to recommend the best things to see and do, if guests need my help. Because I know the area so well, even if they’re only here for a few days, I’m able to suggest things that will give them a wonderful overall picture of what Far North Queensland has to offer. It’s a pretty easy job considering paradise is right on our doorstep!
I personally take advantage of the stunning natural beauty at every opportunity by going camping, hiking and getting out on the reef and snorkelling. I’ve got a lifelong passion for fitness and well-being so I’m very often out on one of our many picturesque walking trails, like Earl Hill or the Red Arrow, but I also love kicking back and enjoying the simple pleasures of a glass of wine or dinner on the Esplanade or at one of our gorgeous beaches.
My experience as a holiday property owner myself means I understand that little details make a big difference, so communication and attention to detail are my priorities. Things like double checking the cleaning is tip top, turning on lights and/or air-cons, and setting up sofa beds for late arrivals are just a few of the things I do to make sure my guests arrive to a comfortable, welcoming and relaxing home away from home.
