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. 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 pool with a view, pool view and a patio, Beach Bliss, Private Bedroom, Private Lounge & Bathroom, plus Netflix, Wifi is located in Kewarra Beach. This homestay features free private parking and luggage storage space. The property is non-smoking and is situated 600 metres from Kewarra Beach. Nice house, but with a kitchen that was "OFF LIMITS" and very uncomfortable, knowing we could have been watched at all times. - Nice people, but the accommodation was nothing like the carefully worded description on the website. We were essentially forced to eat out every evening, as kitchen was inaccessible to us, but we had to share the smells of the hosts cooking, which was not always pleasant.
