This is an amazing property that caters for everyone’s needs. It is such a relaxing place and has been lovingly decorated.They have thoughtfully filled the house with activities for all ages and we really appreciated the heated pool. Also the beds were comfortable ensuring a good nights sleep. There is nothing to fault with Sweet Creek Cottage and I highly recommend that if you have a chance to stay there you will not be disappointed.

Chill out in Palm Cove

Lovely long weekend in a cute renovated cottage. Easy walk to esplanade and shops. Comfortable beds. Heaps of extra equipment if you have kids or pets. Host very responsive and helpful. We loved floating in the pool on the toys. Lots of cozy sitting spaces set up outside.

There aren’t enough stars to rate this wonderful gem of a property in Palm Cove, near Cairns. The property has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay in the area. Our host was very attentive and easy to communicate with. She kept us up to date on weather conditions regarding a cyclone forming that could have affected our trip. Thankfully, we had beautiful weather and a pleasant stay. This truly was a highlight of our time in Australia. Thank you.
