Beautiful spot close to resteraunts and marina. Check in process was a bit challenging as a specific time has to be provided which caused some issues when our ETA was delayed. Otherwise very good experience with the hosts responsiveness and support for organising activities and things to do in the area. Room was comfortable with a beautiful view.
Very comfortable accommodations on the Cairns waterfront. Close to a bunch of nice restaurants and easy access to Green Island tours. I was met by one of the owners and given the â50 cent tourâ of the unit and building when I arrived. If I come back to Cairns I would definitely stay here again.
Quiet complex steps from the major water activities and restaurants of the area. Great communication with management. No issues. Keep in mind that this is essentially a hotel room, not a typical VRBO in that there are no kitchen or living area. Lovely little outdoor area with pretty water and mountain views. We had a very enjoyable 4 day stay.
Our host was very gracious and accommodating, and responded quickly to our questions. The location was perfect for us, all of the tours we did picked up within walking distance. We walked to Cairns Central, grocery stores, laundry, etc. The only thing missing from the room was a microwave or toaster. The coffee maker, kettle, and mini fridge were nice but it limited how much we could eat in the room, not having a microwave.
Oh the shower has excellent water pressure!
Perfect location near the marina waterfront in Cairns. Nicely fitted out and plenty of space for one or two people. Card access is nice so you donât need to carry an awkward key. Pool, bbq and other facilities are great and well-maintained. Property is starting to look a little tired with worn surfaces and fittings, but otherwise great.
This room was clean, comfortable and in a lovely (mostly) quiet location. The photo of the harbour view is accurate and we enjoyed the location.
The only thing we didn't like is that check-in has to be by meeting someone rather than self-check-in (ie. a key safe with a code sent on the day) which is what we mostly find with accommodation on Stayz and is so much less stressful than having to know your exact ETA.
There was also an incredibly loud machine being used in the room next to us (pulling up floor tiles apparently) for 2 of our 4 days there. That was difficult for us to have a relaxing time and we wish there could have been warning - but we assume that Cozie Homes didn't know about this either or they would have told us (and so therefore not a reflection on the host.)
Apart from those things we would recommend staying there.
