Short taxi ride from the airport, fantastic friendly staff at front desk. I had a great view from my balcony, so pleased I upgrade to a room with an esplanade view. Great time out spot with a wine and a book. Surprised at how close I was to the pier and the water front too. Lots of cafe, bars, restaurants very close by and I felt save walking around on my own in the early evening. Lots to do if you want to be busy. My room and bathroom were big and clean.

What a spectacular holiday! It was everything you see in the pictures provided and more. The apartment was facing the beach, really close! We also had a full view of the pool which was massive and very clean with barbecue facilities as well as tables and chairs in a sheltered area. Everything was super clean including the beach area. There is a designated area in which you can swim because of jelly fish, never the less that didn't make it less enjoyable. The apartment was spacious, fitted with modern finishes. Equipped WITH EVERYTHING you could possibly need on your stay. Tumble dryer, washing machine, complimentary powdered soap. Bath and pool Towels, Iron, ironing board, washing rack, pegs, mop, bucket, vacuum, broom, dustpan. Extra pillows and blankets, picnic basket and camping chairs. Pots and pans(plenty of), electric frying pan, air fryer, toaster, sandwich press(big/family sized). Silverware(plenty of), whisk, tin opener, dishing out spoons, spatulas, wooden spoon. Cutting board. Dish rack, dishwashing liquid, dishwashing powder(for washer). Kettle, complimentary tea, coffee and milk(2 small boxes for 4 days) Olive oil, salt, pepper, clingwrap, baking paper. Massive fridge and freezer Storage containers Plates, saucers, bowls, cups, teacups and mugs, Drinking Glasses big and small Wine glasses Conditioner, shampoo and enough shower gel all mounted onto wall in both showers(you won't run out. Very clean bathrooms.  master bathroom has two showers in one space and a fitted(luxurious) bathtub. The master bedroom is closed off by glass, one of my favourite places in the apartment. Beds were spaces, clean and comfortable. I fell asleep and woke up to the beautiful sound of the ocean. The balcony was spacious, beautiful white table an chairs and a pot plant. It also had two poolside chairs to relax on. I could go on and on... Overall, this was the best holiday I have had in a very long time. Worth every dollar.

I loved the night activity and the Lagoon is amazing, very relaxing! Plenty of good food affordable food options, and casual tropical feel and lots of sun!!! I actually usually stay at Palm Cove which is quiter and I find it so easy to travel using the bus services, which are 50 cents per ride in Qld or $1.00 for the whole day, so easy to get around! One point I would say is Cairns City needs to get their street signage sorted out, as I spoke with many and we all felt either their was no sign at an intersection, or it was hidden and not obvious! Yes we can use our phones when they behave, but it is still vital to have basic signage! Overall I love going to far North Queensland as it is beautiful scenery and incredible plants and flowers thrive everywhere and very friendly!!! Leith, Melbourne

The beautiful breeze was lovely whenever I sat on a comfortable seat on the grass near the beach... We thought the views were amazing in every way we turned on the walkway across the road from the Agincourt Beachfont...We will be returning. It will most likely be in the winter though, as humidity is very high in the summer for us, as a couple from the central coast, in N.S.W. Thank you! It is close enough for a drive to Cairns, Port Douglas and other beautiful spots.

A good alternative to the much trendier and therefore pricier northern beaches of Trinity Beach and Palm Cove. And definitely much quieter! A comprehensive shopping strip on the main street and of course not far from the large shopping complex at Smithfield. A few restaurant options available, including the yacht club. There is a bus service into Cairns CBD, but I would recommend hiring a vehicle for your stay. Taxis are very expensive.

Beautiful, quiet and relaxing (wasn’t crowded at all when we were there in June). Seems to be off the beaten path for tourists—seemed to be more locals there, so probably not typically as crowded as some of the more well known beaches. We probably wouldn’t have known about it if we weren’t staying at a house on the beach. Neighborhood is quiet and beautiful, although not a ton of beach parking for visitors. Beautiful walking path, small playground, picnic tables, incredible sunrises, sand is soft and silky, water is warm to wade in, however, swimming is not recommended due to possible crocodiles.

Far Northern QLD is one of the most beautiful and eye...

Far Northern QLD is one of the most beautiful and eye opening parts of Australia. Cairns is a great hub for this region, which is sparse for cities, but the appeal of Cairns is not what is in the city, but what is surrounding the city. All the best attractions (waterfalls, the great barrier reef, the daintree rainforest, hikes, etc.) are all at least 20mins in any given direction, but there is very little public transport for these attractions in Cairns. This is I suppose how the tour companies make their money, but it means that a trip to Cairns without a car is impossible to explore self-guided, and becomes very expensive very quickly, because you need to book a tour for any given attraction. If possible, I’d 100% recommend coming to Cairns with a car. It’s a big drive no matter which state you’re coming from, but the journey up the coast is beautiful, and you will have so much more freedom on your trip with one. Cairns City itself is not good for much other than the lagoon, and the shopping. For a relaxing holiday, consider staying in the Northern Beaches, or Port Douglas.
