Beautiful, well-equipped home in a fabulous location, right on the beach.

As a party of six we had an amazing stay. The house was spacious, with plenty of bedrooms and living space. The outdoor space was also fabulous with a refreshing pool, gas barbecue and plenty of furniture. Everything we needed for our stay was provided. I would highly recommend this property and wouldn't hesitate to return if we visited Holloway's Beach again.

Perfect Home Away from Home

We loved this property. It was exactly how it looked from listing photos, and there was more than enough supplied in the home for our two families to stay (5 adults 4 kids). The kids really enjoyed the pool and it was nice to have it on the shady side of the home. Overall we loved it and we would absolutely stay here again.

FAMILY HOLIDAY

We had a wonderful week away with extended family of various ages. The house is very spacious and comfortable along with being well equipped. Like the last reviewer mentioned the pool area could do with a little attention as regards a few cracks but it was very pleasant to lie by the pool and swim in it. The house is well located and we enjoyed being able to walk across the road to the beach as and when we felt like it. We also appreciated our host giving us a later check out. Thanks Kim!

Great location and great size for a large family. The pool is in need of repair - the surrounding ledge us cracked wirh several wobbly pieces - not a bother but definitely a safety risk! Lovely stay, everyone had their own room and it was a quiet street.

Holloways Beach Stay

Amazing house. Well-appointed with everything you need. Responsive caretakers and owners. Excellent location. Given the floods and damage to the area, we would highly recommend this home for families to come support local businesses, shop at local stores and take advantage of all nearby tour options- snorkeling, river wafting, wake park, grocery stores, chemists are all within 10 mins. Amazing pool, which provided entertainment for the whole family. Highly recommend.

Absolutely a Gem

My family had a wonderful stay at Casa Bella Vista! So spacious and beautiful. The kitchen was amazing with high end appliances. My family loved the pool and close proximity to the beach. I appreciated Kim providing a pram and baby cot for our granddaughter and Kim even arranged for us to pick up a Turkey at the local butcher’s shop for our Thanksgiving. We all had a lovely stay and made precious memories.

Relaxing location with plenty of room and great amenities! My family of 7 enjoyed the pool everyday. We loved walking the beach and enjoyed drinks and meals with live music at the restaurant down the road. Easy access to public transportation to get into Cairns was helpful. Hosts were very accommodating and helpful!

Perfect family getaway

We had a beautiful stay at Casa Bella Vista. The house was perfect for 3 families to reunite and celebrate. Plenty of room to gather together or find space. Every sunrise was incredible. Every afternoon we enjoyed the cool breezes. The house had everything we needed. Peaceful location yet close to everything we needed and just a short drive into Cairns. Kim was very easy to deal with. Can’t fault our stay.

Holiday House in Holloways Beach

I went away with some friends for a girls week away. We had the best time. The house was great! We all had our own room, we were able to cook at the property and treated ourself to a coffee each day with the little shop up the road called Strait On The Beach. Location was great and easy to get to locations such as Cairns city and other local shops.

About the host

Our names are Peter and Kim. We purchased the home in 2012 after staying at the home, in that year. We loved the home and the area. We live in Melbourne, Australia.

Why they chose this property

We have five children. Five of them now have their own homes and partners and we also have six grandchildren. There is plenty of room for the whole family. Melbourne can be quite cool at times, and we love to head up to North Queensland for the sun and sea.
