Family-friendly holiday rentals in Great Barrier Reef

Fifi’s accommodation is something truly special. Quiet, private, full of details waiting to be discovered, and with a beautiful garden. For us, it’s the best Airbnb we’ve stayed at so far. The studio is perfectly equipped and tastefully furnished. We highly recommend this wonderful place to anyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Magical Stay! From the moment we arrived, this Airbnb felt like something out of a dream. The setting was serene and beautiful, with lush surroundings that made us feel completely immersed in nature. It was almost like I imagined living in a fairy treehouse might feel. Very inspiring! The highlight? Besides the obvious shown in photos in ad - A family of frogmouth owls perched in the tree by the pool, adding an enchanting touch to our mornings and evenings. Don’t get me started on the incredible background noise of the little waterfall running into a stream that can be heard when relaxing on the back deck. 😍 The home itself was impressive, very thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Our host Wendy was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a stay that’s peaceful, unique, and filled with natural beauty, this is the place. We can’t wait to return!

Loved our 7 night stay at Peter's studio in Hibiscus complex. Fab location walkable to all restaurants and cafes. Cosy, well appointed unit with small but functional balcony. Lovely crisp sheets and towels. Appeared to have a new aircon unit and a kitchen reno including induction hob. Two Pools in the complex were great and laundry on site for $5 per cycle. Highly recommend and we'll be back for sure.

A great apartment in a clean and secure hotel. The central location made across to trips , resturants and the harbour for trips to Great Barrier Reef very easy. The apartment was very clean , comfortable and as described. KAy even arranged to pick us up at the airport which made arrival very easy . Would book again if visiting Cairns.

We had a great stay here for 5 nights. As others have mentioned the mini bar is great, well priced and very useful. The apartment was extremely spacious and comfortable, the balcony lovely, and the pool was amazing despite the rain!! We hired a car, but it is close to Cairns and the airport and it is very easy to get Ubers. We enjoyed diving on the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree rainforest, Hartley's Croc Park and Cairns Aquarium. Alyssa and Aaron were great with communication and we were so pleased that we were able to have a late check out. We would definitely recommend staying here.

You would be hard to find a better BNB, fantastic unit, clean and beautifully set out. Comfortable bed and everything and more you need. Rhondda and Michael are fantastic, friendly and welcomes you with open arms, we felt very much at home. It's also the little things as well like some groceries to start your stay. Value for money and well worth it, we wouldn't hesitate to go back. Thanks again Rhondda and Michael we had a lovely time with you.

Gorgeous home in a stunning location! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Daintree Magic, it’s hard not to love it there. It was such a welcoming environment to come in to and had everything you needed for an off grid stay. Kate’s instructions were super clear and little touches in the fridge were very welcome. We all loved cooling off in the plunge pool, enjoying the view and listening to all the different sounds of the rainforest. Thank you Kate, you have a wonderful home that we wouldn’t hesitate to revisit should we be this way again ☺️

We love Becs apartment- will stay again

If you’ve been scrolling through listings searching for a fabulous family place or one which suits a large group, then you’ve found it. There were four adults and five children in our family and this place still had plenty of room to spare. It’s clean, comfortable, cosy, quiet, relaxing, homely and has absolutely everything you need. If you wish to cook up a feast, it has a pizza oven and even a thermomix! The outdoor entertainment area is awesome and so easy to be outside watching kids roll around on the grass or use the kayaks. The kids reported their bunk room to be better than any they’ve ever used & that’s coming from teenagers. The room is seperate to the other bedrooms so the squealing, laughing & ridiculous dancing is all contained for adults to have quiet space in the pretty surroundings. Ric and Jilly were excellent hosts and we have found a place to return if we’re in the area again. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven. 🤗🤗

This apartment is perfect for a stay in Port Douglas. It has everything you need and more, and it was perfectly clean and tidy. The garden was very relaxing, and we ate outside every day. If I could, I would give it 10 stars!

We stayed for a special family occasion and it was special indeed! Rhonda was above and beyond accommodating for our family for this special event. We made well use of all the amenities at the farm, paddled in the river, made pizza dough and cooked them in the pizza oven they were perfect thanks to here detailed instructions. We had camp fires daily and bbq hamburger on the hot plate for lunch, bacon and egg cook ups for breakfast. The firepit is a camp cooks dream 🤩. We couldn’t fault a thing and hope to stay again in the future. Amazing!!

Amazing view, quiet and peaceful 😌 We loved it so much. We would love to visit it again.

Thanks so much for having us! :) It was everything we needed and more! We appreciate having such a great place to stay and enjoy the region.

Absolutely beautiful and so elegant, would definitely come back to stay and highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at Graham's Airbnb! The place was clean and equipped with everything we needed. The backyard was a highlight—beautifully maintained with local kangaroos making occasional appearances. It provided a peaceful and scenic backdrop, and our dog loved exploring it. Graham was a great host, very attentive and helpful. We highly recommend this charming retreat for anyone looking for a serene getaway. A perfect stay!

We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and relaxing well maintained gardens. The accommodation was clean and very comfortable with everything that you needed provided for. Thank you Adele for the wonderful experience. We will certainly recommend your Airbnb and look forward to our next stay. Anne

Had a great 4 nights relaxing after travelling up the east coast and between 5 of us the price was a really good deal

We loved our stay at Pool Port Douglas. Kris was very helpful during our stay and listed some great recommendations. The place was perfect for us and we had a great time! Thanks again :))

Had a wonderful stay in Kristina’s home. Everything you could want for a holiday in Cairns with the family. Very clean,quiet surroundings, comfortable beds, good shower pressure, and lots of things supplied in the kitchen with a big fridge.The stand out for my family was the HEATED POOL and outside area, we spent most days in the pool and sitting outside in the undercover area. It’s close enough to Cairns, Trinity beach and Palm Cove but in a quiet neighbourhood. Highly recommend this lovely house thanks Kristina for a wonderful stay.

Amazing place to stay , has all the cooking things you need and more. Beautifully planned out , stunning views and a very helpful ,responsive Host . Can not recommend this Home enough ! You will not be disappointed at all!

John’s place was the perfect home for our family holiday. We all meet from interstate and this property was everything we could’ve hoped for. Plenty of space, with each bedroom having their own ensuite. The pool was definitely a favourite for everyone and such a beautiful space. We would definitely recommend this house for anyone’s trip to Port Douglas as it’s about a 10 min drive out of the Main Street and it is super private and a quiet area. It was a very clean house, John was very responsive and helpful when needed.

Helen and Rob’s place was fantastic. The apartment was spacious, welcoming and beautiful. The gardens are so relaxing and we enjoyed greeting the dogs in the morning! As we are locals, we will definitely recommend family to stay here whenever they are in town.

We had the pleasure of staying at this AirBNB and absolutely loved it! The hosts were extremely accommodating. The location is incredible and very convenient. Thanks for having us Sam and Bernie!

Me and my husband had an awesome stay at Marguerites, we couldn’t have asked for anything more really! The cabana had everything needed and was comfortable, clean, and peaceful. The nature, wallabies, birds and noises were just beautiful. The pool relaxing and fresh. The location perfect. Marguerite was lovely and friendly. We’d love to come back one day!
