Overall, the property was quite good... and large! I would say it would be well suited to a couple of families or several couples.
Nestled on the side of a hill and surrounded by lush vegetation, it had the feel of a Spanish villa. About 25 mins out of Cairns but close to eateries in Palm Cove and Trinity Beach. A couple of minor issues which were addressed and sorted quickly by the property manager.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for our place Jason!
It's great to hear you enjoyed your stay overall, the location of this property is quite special and unique.
Once again we apologise about the water being disconnected temporarily. The council were fixing a burst pipe in a nearby suburb which unfortunately we had no control over.
It was a pleasure to host you and I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
All the best,
