Great value family accommodation
Thank you to Vera for giving us an opportunity to have a budget-friendly holiday in Cairns. The house has everything you need - clean sheets and towels, comfortable beds, great hot water system, very clean patio area and well kept lawn (fully fenced and used by ourselves), washing machine and under cover washing line, wi-fi, TV, vacuum cleaner and hairdryer. Yes, there is some wear and tear on the property, and dust has settled into the nooks and crannies, but it was as expected. We have 4 kids and they all enjoyed our stay.

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.
