Stayed in Palm Cove previously, preferred this more tranquil setting across from the beach, great location for car trip up to Port Douglas & down to Cairns & the reef. Restaurants are all around in the Palm Cove & Clifton Beach area {8 min.car/ 15 min lovely walk}. Owners always on hand with local info plus private parking & a Lift which helps access for us over 60's. Would stay again.

11 out of 10… the apartment was very well furnished, great kitchen, comfy sofa, powerful air con, even had a new super fast washer dryer…WiFi was very good- good enough to download movies. Apartment was spotless when I arrived & ready for early (midday) checkin. Stuart and Tony are very helpful with things like advice for trips, help with local transport& things to do. Loved the pool for reading & chilling. Clifton Beach area is quiet - very peaceful but theres a great walk along the beach or through the nature trail to Palm Cove it’s a- nice alternative to the bus. There’s a big supermarket (Coles) 15 mins walk away so it’s easy to stock up and enjoy your vacation!

The new owners were very helpful and always on hand if we needed anything. Coles supermarket and small shopping centre nearby. Close to Cairns and a great base for exploring the Tablelands and the beaches up to Port Douglas. Our family of four adults loved Argosy on the Beach and we will be back.
