Overall our stay was excellent upon arrival house was very clean and very equipped we had no problems throughout our stay we enjoyed the house although one small detail was the garage space we had 4x4 utes and neither of them fitted in the garage perfect for smaller vehicles but overall it was great would highly recommend this property

Thank you for staying with us! Glad you enjoyed your holiday😊 Sorry to hear that you couldn’t fit your 4x4 Utes in the garage. Our mid-size SUV fits well. Fortunately, we also have a long driveway that can comfortably fit three cars and two parking spots at the end of the driveway. So hope you didn’t have issues. We would be glad to welcome you again😊
About the host
Hosted by Eleonora
We're a family with two kids who fell in love with Palm Cove. Having stayed at many AirBNBs we wanted to bring the best of what we've seen to this house in the tropical paradise that is inspired by the Danish concept of hygge (coziness).
We hope that here you’ll find a refuge from the daily grind, spend time with your loved ones, and unwind.
