Home away from home

Vera’s house is spacious with everything you need to have a comfortable stay. Located near shops for food across the street and not far from the airport, night market and Esplanade. The host was very accommodating and ready to make your stay as best as possible! I would stay here again.

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.

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!
