Beautiful Cairns Holiday
Not in the city so we booked a car which was required from airport as we travelled all over Cairns. Spacious bedrooms, and outdoor space. Great hospitality and had shops located within 1 km. Excellent location. Will return soon.

Holiday home
Had everything we needed. Pong pong table was a bonus and loved being able to get our washing done and dried undercover. King bed was a bit firm but others were great. Pillows were to big for us but we just got some cheap ones and left them there for the next people. Free wifi was also appreciated

Home away from home
Vera’s house is spacious with everything you need to have a comfortable stay. Located near shops for food across the street and not far from the airport, night market and Esplanade. The host was very accommodating and ready to make your stay as best as possible! I would stay here again.

The Value of Money
Great location. The property has everything you need for a holiday pack. Great communication from the host.
We had a 4 night stay in this property to do some sightseeing across Cairns. This was the perfect base for us to stay and complete all the touristy bits. There were 4 of us in total and the property was plenty big enough for 4-6 people. Vera was brilliant from the moment of arrival to departure, helping point us to the local shops for the basics and helping with any queries we had. Air con was great in all rooms. The accommodation is basic but great value for money compared to other Air bnbs/hotels around and just a short Uber ride from the espionade ! Overall if your just using it as a place to sleep then you cant go wrong. Thanks for a great stay

Wonderful stay!
Vera was an excellent host. He made me feel more than welcome. He went above and beyond to try to help me as much as possible with anything I needed. I came to cairns alone and i did not feel alone with vera. He was most gracious and i appreciate him very much.
