The Great Man
John Williams was flying back from his company's convention where he had been fired. He was sitting in coach feeling the weight of his life pressing down on him, his mind adding up his charge card bills, the rent, and the alimony. He was so far behind on everything he was drowning and now he had to look for a job. He hated looking for a job, the endless interviews, filling out mind numbing resumes, the waiting for the phone call that never came. Suddenly he breathed in honeysuckle perfume and turned to see the pretty redhead stewardess smiling down at him.

good value
Jochen2017-01-03T00:00:00ZGeoff was very nice and flexible. His place is very clean and spacious. It's also very close to the bus stop and neighborhood shops so that's convenient. All in all, we had a great stay at Geoff's!
Christina2016-12-09T00:00:00ZKaren and Geoff home is an ideal place to enjoy the region. Not too far from the city and close to the beaches and the rainforest. Everything was clean and tidy. Karen and Geoff are nice and friendly people. I can recommend this place.
Michael2017-01-24T00:00:00ZThanks so much to Geoff & Karen - they were really kind, warm and friendly, and their home was perfect for what I required!
Jessica2016-11-30T00:00:00ZGeoff is a really nice and quiet person. He was really helpful and respectful of our privacy. The room is like on the pictures and his house is very beautiful with a minimalist atmosphere. Yorkey's Knob has a great wild beach. We definitely recommend this place, close to the beach and close to Cairns at the same time. Perfect!

Megan was lovely. She had extensive knowledge about the surrounding areas and was very helpful to us in finding the things that we wanted to do.
Jo2016-09-17T00:00:00ZMegan's place at Yorkey's is an absolute delight. Located about 10 minutes from the Cairns airport, Yorkey's is an oasis of calm and one can spend days just walking around soaking in the beach, the boat club and the fascinating flora&fauna of the place. Megan goes out of her way to make you feel at home. Her breakfast is extremely generous and she even picked and dropped us to the airport. She was kind enough to invite us into her home and give us some lovely wine and cheese. On another day she made us some delicious dumplings. Her son Axel was an added bonus to our stay at Yorkeys; he could tell you more about bugs than possibly anyone you have ever met and he is also the resident expert of the local fauna! I have always had great experiences with Air Bnb, but as a host I have to say Megan just goes that extra mile. Ideally situated, close to the city and on the way to port douglas and palm cove , Megan's place at Yorkey's is one that I would recommend every single time.
Joseph2013-05-30T00:00:00ZA pleasant room in a nice spot. Very welcoming owner and family. Breakfast is generous and good, although a make-it-yourself job. The room is at the back of the garage, under the main house, so can be noisy, but it does have a nice view of the mountains from the patio. We felt it could have been more comfortably furnished and a bit cleaner.
Lucy2013-06-13T00:00:00ZLovely place to stay, Megan was really friendly and very helpful. The unit had everything we needed and is the perfect base to explore Cairns, the tablelands, northern beaches or just relax and read a book. Very quiet, loved waking up to the birds. The local grocery stores sells an amazing range of pre cooked meals all made on the premises. A short walk to the local boating club is a must do for a drink and a meal. Really enjoyed our week, thanks Meagan
Pearl2016-08-10T00:00:00ZThe reservation was canceled 24 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
RuthIt was an absolute delight to stay here! The space is very private having its own entrance, bathroom and kitchenette area. Highly recommend staying here, Megan was very helpful in making our visit to this area the best it could be. The boat club at the bottom of the hill has a great menu and the small grocery store down the road had the cheapest avocados around. This place is best suited if you have a car to get around to the numerous beaches and attractions that the Cairns area has to offer. Megan was the perfect host making our holiday very memorable!
Sandy + Ben2016-01-20T00:00:00ZMe and my brother had a great time staying with Megan. Awesome location, great view and perfect accommodation. If your staying in Cairns and want to be in town but still out of town great spot. Combined with a great breakfast you cant go wrong. Thanks Megan we really enjoyed it.
Maike 2013-05-16T00:00:00ZThe location is brilliant, the apartment is fine, but would have been better if the pool and BBQ were in action on the top level. We did have a slight concern with security/ privacy as we locked the door that leads into the garage, but was open again when we returned from a day out. Overall pleasant stay and sure will be even nicer when building work has been finished. There was a slight confusion regarding the bed & breakfast element.. For British people, bed & breakfast means that you have a breakfast cooked for you, not that you are provided with eggs & a frying pan! Megan was very helpful and friendly though.

Good location and Good stay Help available throughout
Mallikarjun2016-08-28T00:00:00ZHad a nice quiet and relaxed stay...just what I was after.
Mark2017-01-20T00:00:00ZAnnalies' place in Yorkies Knob is a great get away from the rush of the city. Located only 20 minutes from Cairn the town offers a great beach and beautiful boat club as well as golf. Annalies' apartment was close to all amenities and it felt like we were part of the community staying there. It was exactly what we needed at the end of a long trip.
Lori2016-12-19T00:00:00ZAnnelies is an incredible host and in general, an extremely genuine, caring person. She made us feel very welcome upon arrival and gave us many great tips about the area. Yorkeys Beach is a very relaxing and beautiful area, and only a five minute stroll from the house to the beach :)
Grace2016-08-03T00:00:00ZGreat place to stay
MysticMedia2017-02-09T00:00:00ZAmazing stay in Yorkies. Annelies is one epic host and her house is perfect for a quiet place to relax. Thank you so much for a stay I won't forget. I am sure I will be back here again
Alexander2016-08-16T00:00:00ZThe place and the host had a nice hippie feel -- I liked very much! :)
Stefan2016-08-14T00:00:00ZVery cozy and welcoming accommodation.
Yorkeys Knob, ควีนสแลนด์ 4878, ออสเตรเลีย
Very good experience, nice old place with interesting decoration details. Loved that the beau was just a cross the road.
Thomas2016-04-26T00:00:00ZTegan & Nicholas are great hosts!!! They have a really lovely house! We had a great time staying here. The beach is very close, also is the supermarket. Wish could stay for longer!
Angel2017-01-28T00:00:00ZHi guys, loved your place! You've done such a good job of mixing the retro style with good quality decor and appliances. Thanks for an enjoyable experience!
Chad2016-05-30T00:00:00ZThis is a great place to stay while in Cairns. The beach is literally 2 minutes walking. The two full bathrooms also add to the convenience. We forget some items at the property and the hosts were nice enough to mail them to us. They went out of their way when they didn't have too. The hosts and property are fantastic!
琳2017-01-26T00:00:00ZThere was a welcome pack with fresh fruit and tea coffee sugar from local produce. Welcome pack very informative with hosts phone nos and available any time day or night Did not make contact with hosts as did not consider we had any major issues. Kind enough to text a message from relatives as my phone credit nearly expired . I was communicating via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) using free wifi. The children loved the games provided , played dominoes , battleships everyday and made use of the free private pool. Potential guests need to be aware that there is a minimal risk of crocodiles on the local beaches .This is a current issue in northern beaches of Cairns with the odd crocodile possibly making its way between the estuaries by swimming in the sea .There was a warning sign although there were life guards patrolling the beach in a designated spot nearby for safe swimming, However Yorkey's Knob is probably safer than most. My children 10. 11 and 16 did use the beach after speaking with some locals walking dogs who had never seen a crocodile there in 20 or more years! The beach itself was sandy with gentle waves and my children did not go out that far as they used body boards. I believe the risk applies to evenings and after heavy rain. I would not recommend this place or any beaches nearby for families with young children because of this risk. I knew they were perfectly safe in Tegan and Nicholas pool which was ideal under shade and easily supervised from the balcony. Listing best suited to 4 people with 2 older children because of over all living space . We had an adult sized teenager which made it a bit cramped.Camp bed and lounge area not really adequate for his needs.The facilities are quite dated which is reflected in the price . Yorkey's Knob is about 20 minutes from the airport easily served by cheap return shuttle bus and about 20 minutes drive into Cairns. It could work well for a number of people depending on their itinerary. Its a quiet non commercial residential area and sufficient to explore the main attractions of Cairns with the Kuranda Skyrail fairly close by.
Caroline2016-08-30T00:00:00ZGreat retro apartment. Very comfortable and well equipped. Lovely sea breeze. Helpful hosts and yummy fresh fruit a nice touch.
Yorkeys Knob, ควีนสแลนด์ 4878, ออสเตรเลีย
Our whole family had a wonderful stay in Yorkeys Knob. The apartment was exactly as described and had a great location across from the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The communication was very good and clear instructions were given about how to get to the apartment and collect the keys. Remember to bring all your own consumables and you can be confident of a memorable stay.
Bill2015-08-03T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 75 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
EikoThe apartment was really good for us, two adult couples. Huge, very well-equipped, very comfortable. The surroundings, though, have not much to offer. It is a calm residential neighborhood, with no restaurants (I mean nice dining) and any other tourist attraction. The car is a must (we had it). That's why we even didn't use kitchen, except for breakfast, as it always was too far to come back for a dinner and then leave for an evening attraction. The beach is very wide but not equipped for safe swimming. If you like very calm vacation or you don't mind to be the whole day out - this is a comfortable place to stay. Otherwise choose for more touristic developed place.
Valeria2015-08-09T00:00:00ZWe were welcomed to the apartment by Anna who showed us around. The accommodation was very comfortable with a good kitchen, swimming pool and well located approx 500m from a small group of shops, 1km from the restaurant at the boat club and 500m from the swimming enclosure on the beach. Anna was very helpful with information on the area and booking tours.

This was a perfect apartment for a small group getaway. The building is one of few at Yorkey's Knob to have uninterrupted ocean views and we loved listening to the waves at night. The airconditioning was a life saver in the balmy summer heat - as was the pool. The beach and neighbourhood was quiet and noise free. The apartment itself was clean, comfortable and spacious. Rob and Vic were great communicators and left clear instructions of entry (and even left us a Christmas gift). I highly recommend the apartment.
Jess2017-01-01T00:00:00ZWe had a great stay here! Thanks for everything!
emma2016-10-31T00:00:00ZBeautiful apartment, very spacious and well maintained. The apartment has a beautiful view from the balcony. We had an amazing time and a relaxing holiday. Would love to go there again.
Swati2016-09-16T00:00:00Z很棒的房子~ 很整洁 推开窗就是海 非常适合家庭入住。房东也很好~ 在旅行中给出意见!
Lesley2016-11-26T00:00:00ZWe really enjoyed staying in this place and loved the location, tranquillity, and the beautiful beach right in front of the house. We enjoyed a short stroll on the beach every morning and just sitting outside in the balcony, which was very relaxing. The apartment is spacious and convenient. The location was also great - close to the airport, city (15-20 mins drive), and Palm Cove (15 mins drive). We would def like to come back for our next stay.
Chloe2016-08-17T00:00:00ZVic made us feel very welcome, called and met us, with some mandarins from the family farm, which were yummy. Appartment was great, all contents high standard. Lots of extras, heaps of s/poo cond, body wash, waning powder etc. Books, games. Lock up garage. Would highly recommend.
Bob2016-07-21T00:00:00ZWe liked the setting. Had a view of the sea. Lots of space within the apartment and good privacy between sleeping areas. Very good amenities, cutlery etc. Well set up. Did not want for anything.
Jim2016-10-22T00:00:00ZReally good apartment for the families with all facilities. Host Rob and Vic paid attention to details and appointed the apartment well for all necessary items. Kitchen and living area are highlight of the apartment. Netflix was very handy where we watched few movies and relaxed. On the whole good place to stay .

We stayed here for 2 nights, it was like the pictures and clean. The owners were very nice and helpful. We booked this accommodation in a rush so didn't realise there is no cooking facilities inside the property. The owner said we could use their BBQ, however also having a microwave and toaster would be nice. We used the washing machine and dryer. The aircon and fan is in the living room so the bedroom wasn't as cold as we wanted (we'd been traveling in a van for 10 weeks so wanted to be cold for a few days, not a huge deal). The pool was really nice and the surrounding areas, walking distance to shops and restaurants and beach. Nice property but I think $80 a night is a bit too expensive compared to what else is nearby, still would recommend
Scott2016-12-14T00:00:00ZComfortable unit with everything required for a short stay. Brett And Annika greeted us on arrival and organised another bed for my son. Short walk to the beach, shops and restaurants.
Tate2017-02-05T00:00:00ZWe checked in quite late and the communication was quite good. Thanks for ur hospitality!!

Thanks to Malcolm, Anna, and Tahlia, our first trip to Australia was AMAZING! They made us feel very welcome and were there to help us book our snorkeling, scuba diving, and rainforest trips. Very knowledgeable and professional - there were a lot of options to choose from and Anna helped us find the best one for our budget. Super happy and scuba diving on the great barrier reef was a dream come true for us. The room (Unit 3) was spacious and really clean. Large kitchen with a dishwasher. You can hear the ocean at night from the patio and the first night we were there, we slept on the couch so that we could hear the ocean all night. It was springtime during our stay, and I would definitely recommend this time of year to visit. There's a lot of beautiful birds and wildlife that you will see everyday (gecko, cockatail parrots, molluscs washing up on shore) and the temperature was perfect. Anna cooked dinner for us one night during our stay, delicious!!! My first time having Pavlova (an Australian dessert) - it was incredible. Such sweet, kind people. Definintely recommend this one.
Chris2014-10-06T00:00:00ZMalcolm , Anna and Tahlia were wonderful hosts. They went out of their way to help us feel welcome and make our stay one of the most pleasant experiences we've had on our three month trip. The facility is a well designed and maintained one or two bedroom unit conveniently located across the street from the beach and the stop. It was easy to get into Cairns City Central using the bus and we appreciated being away from the hustle and bustle of a resort town. It was worth waking up early to walk along the beach and see the beautiful sunrises.
Henry2016-02-27T00:00:00ZWhat a great place !! Everything was perfect , we didn't want to leave this lovely place . The flat was juge, very Clean , Good internet , and the best : The FAMILY Thank you Anna , Malcolm and Thalia . We will come back for sure, it is The place to be in cairns
gerard2015-03-20T00:00:00ZImagine a place equipped with everything you need....a complete kitchen, wifi access, cozy living space, a soft, comfortable bed, and even access to laundry facilities. Now imagine that place to be right across a quiet road from a beautiful sandy beach with amazing sunrise views. Then imagine your hosts to be warm, welcoming and wonderful, and you have a small part of what makes this spot magical. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you still have access to transportation, either to the city or whatever excursion you'd like to plan, as well as hosts to help you choose what's just right for you. We have stayed at many airbnb spots, both at home and internationally, but I have to rank this most highly. Thank you, Malcolm, Anna and Talia, for making our visit very special. Oh, and you can listen to the kookaburra and other Australian birds too. A definite plus!
Patricia2015-02-26T00:00:00ZReally enjoyed our stay at The Beach Palce. The hosts were very relaxed, helpful and friendly. It was wonderful to wake up every morning to the amazing outlook from the apartment. The apartment was spacious, well equipped and super clean. Excellent place if you are wanting a quiet, low key venue, which we did. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Catherine2015-10-22T00:00:00ZAnna and Malcolm were great hosts, they both had great knowledge of the area, especially hiking, scuba/snorkeling, sights to see and places to eat. They're complex is a main hub for the neighborhood, with people coming in and out of their shop through out the day. It was a very pleasant and comfortable experience, perfect for a vacation.
Brian2014-05-24T00:00:00ZLovely place, nice owner. Hope to stay next time.
Lou2016-04-18T00:00:00ZLovely host and good location

Quiet. leafy little basement apartment only minutes from the beach. Pamela was away but communicated all necesary info and our stay was great
Sam2016-01-10T00:00:00ZThis was a nice little place and suited me well. It was quiet and well located close to the beach but will easy access to the city and other attractions. Pamela is a very lovely and accommodating host.
Lorna2016-07-17T00:00:00ZPamela was an awesome host, welcoming, friendly and helpful. Her place is 1 minutes walk away from the gorgeous yorkeys knob beach. The place was small and cosy and has everything you need.
Katy2016-08-31T00:00:00ZHad a very nice and great stay at Pam in Cairns! Pam was very friendly and helpful, she is a very lovely and kind host who takes care of her guests. We enjoyed it very much!
Stefan2016-09-15T00:00:00ZAbsolutely amazing place just outside of Cairns, and minutes away from the beach. Everything you need for a peaceful stay
Tom2016-06-19T00:00:00ZPam went out of her way to make sure we arrived safely, got settled and helped us out with what was in the surrounding area. She gave suggestions of things to do and see, and she had a large amount of brochures available to review. Although she had to leave on travels, she stayed in touch with us to make sure all was well with us.
Harvey2016-09-23T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 22 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
PhilThis was such a great place to stay. Located off the tourist track, it was lovely to visit the beach a few minutes walk away! The flat was well fitted out with more than enough in the kitchen for self-catering. It has off-street parking and good privacy. Pam was lovely to meet and to spend time with. She has a fascinating story and passion for life. You will enjoy chatting with her. This was a great place to wind down at the end of our FNQ holiday, within easy reach of Cairns and the surrounding areas. Thanks Pam!

Josie was a very friendly and welcoming host. The place was extremely clean, had a beautiful pool and was just a short walk from the beach. Toast, fruit and cereal were provided in the fridge for breakfast.
Julian2016-10-19T00:00:00ZJosie is lovely and made us very welcome. The apartment (granny flat) is at the rear of their home, about 200 metres from the beach, with access to pool a few steps away. Everything is new and good quality, including comfortable beds. Would suit two singles or couple and child. Large dog who is friendly. We found the local Vietnamese / Chinese restaurant (a short walk away) very good, and the boating club provides other good choices, but need to book ahead. Staying at Yorkeys will suit people who want to be on the beach but close to Cairns.
Julie2016-07-20T00:00:00ZLovely self contained unit in a handy location to access james cook uni. Beautifully clean unit, only downside was lack of lounge but had comfortable outdoor seating.
Julie2016-10-05T00:00:00ZFantastic place and host! We especially loved cleanliness and quiet nights. We could take a special holiday there. Pool was amazing ever! We enjoyed the pool with bright stars We were kind of selfish but host was kind and friendly
Natsuka2017-01-31T00:00:00ZMore clean than a hotel ! Full furnished with equipments of quality and modern place, the pool is perfect to enjoy even in night time with the lights... Secure and no mosquitos in the apartment because the doors and widows protections, we are welcomed with some food in the fridge... Josie and her husband are very friendly and helpful, explain to you the good restaurants and place to go here, I recommend 100% you can go eyes closed !
alie2017-01-09T00:00:00ZJosie has a lovely place to visit. Clean and fresh the accommodation is very comfortable and the location is great with the beach so close. Very friendly people.
Trudy2016-07-01T00:00:00ZTerrific location, lovely beach and area to explore. Unit itself was very clean, made to feel welcome and appreciated the bread, milk etc on arrival. The pool was amazing too!
Adam2016-08-26T00:00:00ZThank you josie. During 2 weeks, we have driven from melbourn to adelaide, around brisbane, from whitesunday beach to cairns. Having lived in many rooms, the price from 120 to over 500 dollars per night. I am shocked that your house is incredibly clean and tidy. Professional hospitality. Honestly, I was very satisfied with your house and hospitality more than the 6 star versace hotel in gold coast.Thanks again!!!

Trish was an excellent host. She was easy to contact and very helpful in setting up activities. The apartment was very large and in perfect condition -- and with a beautiful view of the beach! I highly recommend this apartment.
Cameron2015-03-27T00:00:00ZThe apartment was a perfect place to relax and wind down after a month of travel in Australia. It's quiet and literally right across the street from the beach and still only a 15 min drive to downtown Cairns. The place is outfitted with anything you would need and Trish is very helpful getting tours setup. I just wish I could have stayed longer. I would highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay here again if ever in the Cairns area.
Keith2013-09-04T00:00:00ZThis is a great location as the beach is across the street and the street is a lightly traveled residential area. The apartment is very spacious and clean with a nice balcony facing the beach. TTrish made our arrival faultless and responded quickly to our inquiries. If you are visiting Cairns and want to be close to the city and at a beach location then we recommend contacting Trish for a holiday apartment.
Al2016-06-03T00:00:00ZWe stayed in the 2 bedroom unit virtually on yorkeys knob beach. Great location and a nice unit to relax and enjoy yorkeys knob. Clean and well presented. Trish made it easy to access, depart, so all we had to do was enjoy the location. Thanks again.
Craig2013-10-09T00:00:00ZTrish was a wonderful host for us. She made our stay as great as possible, always there for us, looking after us, helping us with the excursions and all the information we could need. We will recommend Trish for all visitors to the area. The apartment was unbelievable, very big, with all the necessary to make you feel comfortable and only meters from the beach, a immense beach, beautiful and unforgettable. Thank you Trish for all your help. Axel and Pilar
Pilar2014-05-01T00:00:00ZExcellent higher end place in a quiet neighborhood. Nice view of the water from across the street. None of the places in that spot are on the beach, just have to cross the street. Nice pool and quiet exclusive beach area. There is bus service right outside the door, otherwise I'd suggest to rent a car. Trish was great, even gave us some sea sickness pills for our excursion. The do's and don't seemed a bit too much, but overall a great experience that I highly recommend.
Christopher2014-05-20T00:00:00ZYorkey's Knob was the perfect place for a quick week away in the sun. Pristine beach with peace and quiet. The location is perfect - right on the beach for daily walks and swims and close enough to the city center to enjoy some variety in terms of restaurants and all the activities Cairns has to offer. It is very accessible for those not wanting to hire a car for the week as tour groups are happy to pick ups and drop offs from there and it is a short 15min trip from the airport ($18 shuttle bus is advisable as cabs can be very expensive). There is also a regular busy service that can take you to a local shopping centre where there are the latest shops if you are wanting to self cater. Lastly, the accommodation was perfect and Trish went out of her way to make my stay as wonderful as possible. She was available for any local 'insights' and discrete in terms of allowing me to have any privacy that was required. I would definitely recommend Trish and Yorkey's Knob as the perfect base for those wanting to explore the beautiful Far North Queensland.

Nicki made sure all the important details for our stay were sent to us in advance. The pictures dont even do this place justice! It is much bigger and spacious than it appears. Lots of great food options on the main road just a short walk away (Sushi J and Tommys Ribs!!, the RSL Boat House was terrible). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again!
Mel & Steve2016-08-01T00:00:00ZWe stayed for 10 days in July 2016. Apartment and facilities were great and as described. We parked in the basement or on street if too busy. It is a quiet apartment in a secluded area close to the beach. The only negativre comment is regarding the wireless signal being very poor which caused us some inconvenience as we were attending a uni course.
Andrew2016-07-22T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderfull stay and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Yorkeys Knob. Everything as advertised. No complaints.
Guido2017-01-03T00:00:00Zgreat spot out of cairns with pool. close to the beach. we loved it there didn't want to leave. comfortable living with fully functional kitchen and good air con which was helpful. would definitely go back

Karine2015-02-07T00:00:00ZAbsolutely fantastic apartment!! Perfect for a quiet beachfront getaway or family vacation! Beautiful apartment and amazing location! Looking forward to coming back again soon!!
Thomas2016-12-29T00:00:00ZBeautiful, clean and right across the street from an isolated (non-swimming) beach about 9KM from Cairns. You really will want a car as there's not much within walking distance, but if you like peace & quiet, this place is great. My wife, an adult friend of ours and myself had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it. Trish is very accessible and does everything possible to ensure a pleasant stay (she is very knowledgeable about the area and can book most anything for you). The apartment is clean, modern, comfortable, spacious and well appointed. The patio overlooking the pool and beach was fantastic. There is a grill and beautiful kitchen if you like to prepare your own meals. We didn't like being pressured frequently to only book tours/excursions/etc through her, but she did get us a car rental (I do NOT recommend Mini Car Rental). We also didn't like that air conditioning is advertised and, even though it was known well in advance, we were not told until we tried to use it. Trish did buy a couple of fans and showed us how to take advantage of the nice breeze when there was one. We had mild weather, hotter days without a breeze would have been miserable. There is a beautiful pool if you want to swim laps & an ocean swimming area a short walk up the beach. You will have neighbors so don't stay here if you want to party, but we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on the beautiful patio overlooking the pool & beach. There's a few restaurants within walking distance, but not much that we found. We had a car and had a great time. WiFi access is not cheap, but Trish was kind enough to not charge us because of the air conditioning. She really did try to make sure we had a very pleasant experience (she even provided us with an Aussie mobile to call locally. The rate on that phone was cheaper than the 50 cents per local call being charged for using the phone in the apartment).
Frank2014-05-10T00:00:00ZWe spent four days in Cairns, the apartment was off the beach in a quite area as advertized. Trish has been very helpful in organized us a nice trip to the coral reef. Internet connection was available but not free.
Ludovica2015-12-29T00:00:00ZYorkeys Knob is a lovely spacious appartment. It is great to take a swim in the private pool just in front of the appartment. Trish took care of our bookings and reduction on the fees. We had a great time there.
chris2016-02-20T00:00:00ZVery good appartement in front of the beach
Caroline2016-11-03T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay at Peponi on the beach at Yorkeys Knob. We were in a ground floor unit that was still elevated enough to enjoy views through the trees to the beach. The unit was spacious and comfortable and also quite private. The kitchen was well equipped and huge! We would stay here again. Situated in Yorkeys Knob it is a bit off of the beaten track (which we loved) but close enough to still be accessible to all of the areas attractions.
Melissa2016-07-14T00:00:00ZFirst, know that Yorkey's Knob is a delightfully sleepy spot and only a short drive from the center of town. It's perfect for tropical relaxation. Trish Cowin is at the center of Yorkey's Knob, knowing everyone and everything in the area. She can organize whatever you seek -- and does so with a cheerful energy. The apartment we rented was perfect for us. A nice pool next to our patio, and the beach across the quiet street (almost no cars, as it's not on the way to anyplace else, practically a cul-de-sac). We spent a lot of time on the patio, hanging out, eating meals, BBQing, looking at the palm trees. Delightful. The apartment is well-equipped and modern and comfy. We experienced a mechanical problem over Christmas and Trish did everything imaginable to get it fixed as quickly as possible. She is super-responsive. This one's a winner!

Peter is an excellent host, he was there to personally welcome us and help us plan our trip. He is very knowledgeable about the area and this helped us to get the most out of the our few days. The accommodation is ideally located, within a short distance from Cairns airport. The beach itself is just about 50m. Highly recommended host and accommodation.
Samir2014-08-17T00:00:00ZGood location and great support from Peter always willing to help
Yves2016-08-18T00:00:00ZPeter was super helpful in booking activities of interest for us! The place itself was nice and close to the beach. Enjoyed our stay thank you Peter :)
Natasha2015-10-09T00:00:00ZLouise was so friendly and helpful! She was so patient with all our questions and bookings for our tours. Loved the convenience of the tour pick ups at the Villa. Yorkeys Knob was a perfect place to stay for some peace and quiet but close to the beach. Our room was nicely set up with a AC that was a lifesaver. Couldn't ask for a better stay in Cairns!
Joan2017-01-10T00:00:00ZThis place is slightly off the beaten track and the public transport is not too regular so this should be the spot you choose if you want that quiet beach at the bottom of the street.
Lynn2017-01-10T00:00:00ZPeter made us feel very welcome. I travelled with my 2 young adult children. He was very helpful in planning tours and providing local information. The cottage was very satisfactory to our needs. Clean and compact. Cute and very comfortable. It reflected the website description. Front porch a bonus as well as all of the lush trees, plants and flowers. Some type of bird(s) are the early morning wake up call. I miss them already. Villa Marine is in a great location. The close by beach is the cleanest beach I have ever seen. It is so beautiful. Very few people. The best. Villa Marine is in easy walking distance to the bus, liquor store, grocery store and restaurants. Cab service is reasonable too. We had dinner on our last night at the boat club. Great experience. Walked there. Very dark roads where at home we are lit right up. I prefer the darker! It is a must do. They will provide shuttle service. Did not get a chance to use pool. Too cold! That was a disappointment. Not heated and nights were cool. We were sorry to leave and sorry that we did not get a chance to say goodbye to Peter and to thank him for a great holiday. So, thank you Peter for everything.I would highly recommend Villa Marine.
Carolyn2015-07-15T00:00:00ZPeter was a fabulous host and was very welcoming and friendly. We had an excellent experience at Villa Marine Cairns Beach, and we very much enjoyed Peter's establishment! The apartment was very well furnished and fully self-contained with a great kitchen and everything needed for a comfortable stay. Peter was charming and extremely helpful! The apartment was tastefully and fully furnished, and it was very comfortable. The kitchen was complete with all of the essentials, including pots, pans and flatware. It really was a perfect situation and suitable for a whole family with one full-size and two single beds. Our room faced the swimming pool and a beautiful landscape and there was even access to a barbecue grill down by the pool. The beach was a two-minute walk away, and the neighbourhood was very quiet and pretty. The bus stop to go into the city was at the corner of the street and was very convenient. We also enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Boat Club a few blocks away. We highly recommend Peter!
Jeanne2015-08-09T00:00:00ZWe absolutely loved our stay. Peter and Louise were so helpful - they pulled a bunch of brochures for reef tours they thought would be good for us and even took care of booking it for us. The place was clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend for anyone!
