Wonderful stay!

Vera was an excellent host. He made me feel more than welcome. He went above and beyond to try to help me as much as possible with anything I needed. I came to cairns alone and i did not feel alone with vera. He was most gracious and i appreciate him very much.

We had a 4 night stay in this property to do some sightseeing across Cairns. This was the perfect base for us to stay and complete all the touristy bits. There were 4 of us in total and the property was plenty big enough for 4-6 people. Vera was brilliant from the moment of arrival to departure, helping point us to the local shops for the basics and helping with any queries we had. Air con was great in all rooms. The accommodation is basic but great value for money compared to other Air bnbs/hotels around and just a short Uber ride from the espionade ! Overall if your just using it as a place to sleep then you cant go wrong. Thanks for a great stay

Great place to stay

Vera was a great host. He was was easy to contact whenever we needed something, since he lives upstairs he could help out quickly. Our family stay was enjoyable and would absolutely come back to stay again. Also very affordable for spacious rooms and close to most areas to visit.

Basic but perfect for our needs

We weren’t looking for a villa or resort to lounge in so this very simple home was perfect for our needs. Clean sheets, aircon, a bathroom, washing machine and kitchen, with lots of room! The ping pong table was a great bonus and made evenings very fun!

Loved it

We really enjoyed our stay at Vera property. Vera is a wonderful host. Provided everything, even gave us some delicious fruit from his fruit trees. House was very spacious and had all the amenities. The best part was if we wanted anything Vera was just upstairs to provide us. Very very good house for family stay. Each room had AC and kitchen was also very clean. I would definitely come back if I come to Cairns again. Very centrally located and spacious house. Thanks Vera.
