Inn Details
Your own self-contained apartment in paradise. One of Cairns' finest examples of Queensland style architecture, this grand old Queenslander, built in the 1930s and renovated with tender loving care offers our guests luxury with a difference: private entrance & patio; two bedrooms (Queen and twin); bathroom; lounge room with TV/video & extensive reference library; and sunny breakfast room opening onto a spectacular swimming pool surrounded by lush tropical gardens, lovingly tended. Air conditioning, screening and ceiling fans ensure your comfort year round. Located centrally in Cairns' oldest and most picturesque suburb of Edge Hill, we are a handy five minutes from the airport and five minutes from downtown Cairns making us one of the most central B&Bs in the area.

When we booked, it looked like a great place and our expectations were exceeded. Jesse and Julie are fantastic people and great hosts. We loved getting to know them and they were incredibly helpful. The breakfast was fantastic and the room was very spacious. Their pool was gorgeous. It was winter, so the swim was brief and cool, but great after the 5km walk in the neighboring botanic gardens (2 blocks away). Getting the the airport was a breeze. Great suburb community just outside the bustling city. This is the only place we will stay if/when we get back there. We even convinced a couple of tour salespeople in Sydney to stay there when they make it up to Cairns.
