From the time of our arrival we fell in love with this property. The layout of the house suited our seven family members, ranging in age from 29 to 78. The spaciousness gave us all areas to have a break from one another if needed. The kitchen was decked out with everything we needed for self catering, from coffee machine to serving dishes to wine glasses and dishwasher just to name a few things.We were sad to leave it after 5 nights of relaxing together.Thankyou Jacqueline and Richard, we hope to be back one day.

Family holiday

We had a fabulous stay. The house was beautiful, plenty of space for all of us and extremely well equipped. The views from the balcony were stunning. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Cairns. The owners always responded promptly.

Lovely Spot

We came in the rainy season (Dec-Feb) and the huge porches were a real blessing to sit out on. The house is up a lot (4 stories up from road level) but it works just fine - be sure you can handle steps. Main living area is large and open and very pleasant. View of Cairns and the mountains is wonderful to wake up to.

Magnificent Views

We had a great time at this property in Cairns. The views were absolutely amazing. We had so much room for us to socialize, read, chat and play games. We loved being close to the Botanic Gardens which we visited several times. The property was very clean, warm and relaxing. The kitchen was well equiped.

Dream stay

We had the most amazing stay at this house. Every day we’d wake up and just be in complete awe of the view. We had so many plans of activities we wanted to do while in Cairns but we were all having such a relaxing time, we didn’t want to leave the house. I have never stayed somewhere that I didn’t want to leave. We all left the holiday refreshed, rested and relaxed. Absolutely beautiful house. Amazing hosts. Hopefully we will be back again

Quiet peaceful location with breathtaking views of Cairns & surrounding mountains

Lovely home with amazing views in a quiet peaceful location. The property as a whole has a very relaxed atmosphere and the hosts were very obliging with any queries we had during our stay. We wish we could have had more time to just sit, relax and enjoy the home and beautiful surrounds, but our schedule was very full, doing all the "touristy" things Cairns has to offer. We will definitely be back to take the time to just chill, unwind and appreciate all this lovely property has to offer.

Amazing views, fabulous house!

We enjoyed a very relaxing stay at Hillview. The house was exactly as described, clean and stylish. It is in a great location, a few minutes into the centre of cairns, but also really handy for the main road north. The views from the veranda are amazing, whatever the weather. Our hosts were very helpful and friendly. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Stunning property

Our stay was sensational. The property, views, and location was perfect. The lovely little areas at the back and front of house were so special and we utilised every one of them. We met our super hosts who were absolutely gorgeous and so helpful. We cooked in most nights as the front veranda was so accommodating with the best views we didn’t want to be any where else. The nice touch of a bottle of wine and nibbles was very much appreciated - cannot wait to go back next year. Thank you Jacqueline & Richard. 👏

This was a fabulous house to use as a base in Cairns. We were comfortable, enjoyed a great view towards the CBD and found it easy to get around even without a car for most of our stay. The house was beautifully styled and stocked with everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.
