Clean property. Beds were a little stiff but this might he an Aussie thing. Laundry room and bathrooms could use upgraded ventilation. We would stay again though and would recommend to a friend. Easy parking, clean pool and stocked kitchen were a bonus.

Stayed in Palm Cove previously, preferred this more tranquil setting across from the beach, great location for car trip up to Port Douglas & down to Cairns & the reef.
Restaurants are all around in the Palm Cove & Clifton Beach area {8 min.car/ 15 min lovely walk}. Owners always on hand with local info plus private parking & a Lift which helps access for us over 60's. Would stay again.

Book here you won’t be disappointed. From the room to the decor the nice location, the wifi that works, the fine touches on things like some good quality wine glasses. When I come back to cairns, I won’t stay anywhere but here.

Loved looking out in beautiful warm mornings through palm trees to the sea. Loved the wallabies and the bush stone curlews. Our vantage point was perfect. Great walks, either to Kewarra Beach or to Palm Cove. Local cafe Coco Mojo was walkable and great.
The guest room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Above all, I was impressed by the kindness and generosity of the hotel staff, Mr. Stuwart. He told me that October is the best season. I would like to come again.

11 out of 10… the apartment was very well furnished, great kitchen, comfy sofa, powerful air con, even had a new super fast washer dryer…WiFi was very good- good enough to download movies. Apartment was spotless when I arrived & ready for early (midday) checkin.
Stuart and Tony are very helpful with things like advice for trips, help with local transport& things to do. Loved the pool for reading & chilling.
Clifton Beach area is quiet - very peaceful but theres a great walk along the beach or through the nature trail to Palm Cove it’s a- nice alternative to the bus.
There’s a big supermarket (Coles) 15 mins walk away so it’s easy to stock up and enjoy your vacation!

The apartment was lovely, home from home. Just about everything you would need for a longer stay. Air con and fans in all rooms. Brilliant patio area and gardens and a lovely little pool with a small BBQ area.
Washer and dryer in a laundry room.
I can’t praise this place and the hosts, Stuart and Tony enough.

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds in a spacious clean apartment looking out to the ocean with the sound of waves lapping on the beach from our balcony - a piece of paradise! The new owners were very helpful and always on hand if we needed anything. Coles supermarket and small shopping centre nearby. Close to Cairns and a great base for exploring the Tablelands and the beaches up to Port Douglas. Our family of four adults loved Argosy on the Beach and we will be back.

Stuart was an amazing host. He even gave us recommendations on what to do. The property was directly across the beach. We could hear beach waves off our balcony. We had adequate space for 4 of us and amenities were wonderful. He even had ac on waiting for us when we arrived late at night. Highly recommend this place
