Great beachside house. Stayed with family including 7mth old. Cool location with lovely setting. Loved sitting on the front deck with beach views. Inside open plan good for just hanging out together. Had everything we needed plus extras we could use for picnic etc. Used kitchen and deck bbq. Glad we stayed here and not in Cairns. Host was excellent.

We were welcomed like old friends and Chrissy had left a load of treats for us too :) . Perfect place for a couple heading to Palm Cove. Chrissy has done a fab job redecorating and making the unit comfy and relaxing. Sitting on the balcony and looking at the beach through the palm trees is just beautiful. It is also a very quiet unit.

We stayed at Trioical Paradise for 5days earlier this month and absolutely loved everything it had to offer. The location was superb.
