A week in Cairns visiting family and doing some diving and tourist activities.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable and provided all the amenities we required (such as a kitchen and washing machine). A car is required as it is too far to walk to the Esplanade and restaurants etc although there are shops a short walk away. A great basic clean and affordable stay.

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

Best stay around Cairns
My partner and I stayed for a couple of nights. We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful backyard for our dog. A few shops just across the road. A park with a stream for dogs to have a swim just a minute walk away. Clean bathroom, kitchen and rooms. And the best pricing. Would definitely stay again.

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.

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.

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!

Everything we needed
We stayed for a week and Vera’s had all the amenities required to make our holiday pleasant. Check in was super easy, as was check out. Vera was kind enough to allow an earlier check in as well, which was great. Only really had two issues during our stay. Surrounding neighbours could get quite noisy at times and some kind of alarm went off every morning at 1am. Some mornings it would go off several times, others only once. Not sure where it was coming from, but it was quite annoying being woken at that hour every day. Otherwise it was a comfortable stay, everything we needed, easy access to the city and surrounds and affordable.
