Each unit comes with a patio offering sea views, a cable flat-screen TV, a well-fitted kitchenette and a private bathroom with free toiletries. All units feature private entrance. At the guest house, each unit comes with bed linen and towels. We had the most amazing stay. There are two guestrooms and a shared kitchen/living space with the most fantastic view over Coooktown. Our bathroom was across the living space (I believe the other room is en-suite) but it was just for us and we had no issues with that. The hosts are so charming, hardly saw them, although they live up above so they are on hand to answer any questions.

Situated in Jungara Station, Tranquility on Parkridge offers accommodation with a private pool, a patio and mountain views. The property has garden and inner courtyard views, and is 6.9 km from Cairns Station. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service.

Cairns Convention Centre is 8.1 km from the guest house, while Cairns Flecker Botanic Gardens is 4.7 km from the property. Cairns Airport is 7 km away. We traveled in a car so we picked a remote location, and it didn't disappoint! The location is beautiful - you can have a coffee outside, enjoying the mountain view. The host, Wayne, is very hospitable and accommodating. A very nice touch was a ride in the room from Wayne's rose garden!

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, Hull River Guesthouse Mission Beach is located in Mission Beach. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Outdoor seating is also available at the holiday home. This is such a magical little spot and was one of our favorites of our whole stay. It's so relaxing, it has everything you need and is comfortable and relaxed too. I loved sitting in the egg chair just seeing the plants, listening to nature. Beautiful place- and Sharon was an incredible host too adding little extras to make our trip a special one. Highly recommended

Situated in Mossman in the Queensland region, Eleven Watson Guesthouse features a patio. The air-conditioned accommodation is 1.4 km from Mossman Gorge, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 19 km from Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina. This has been one of our best stays in years . Our host Sheree was very hospitable and we felt really welcome. She allowed us a couple hours early check in and late checkout. The house itself was very spacious, well furnished and you could tell that the host took a lot of effort to provide all the amenities. We had a really lovely time there. Thank you so much Sheree.
