Amazing host, very clean place! Howie and Bronwyn are great and will help you with every thing you would like, everything! The place also have bbq if interested. Great pool and great room. Great spot near both trinity beach and its night life and to kawara beach. Very pleasant staying, wished we had more time spending in cairns so we could stayed longer. Howie you rock! We Love you mate!

Lovely family who go out of their way to make your stay an enjoyable one. Very clean and quiet. Bed comfy. There is a large closet in the room with hangers and a set of drawers. Plenty of space to store clothes. There is a shared bathroom but not an issue for us. It was always available when we needed. Shower is amazing - whisper quiet and very relaxing with over head and hand held. We didn't use pool area because it was winter and a bit too chilly and rainy but they have set up a table and chairs poolside along with a BBQ that is for guest use. They have a dog but aside from a few brief barks no interaction. They do their best to keep the dog in areas away from guests. Bron, Howie, and Talita are always cheerful and available for help or advice regarding tours, dining, sights etc. We weren't planning on this type of accomodation. Happened by accident but in the end a happy accident. And with the money we saved, we had enough left over in our travel budget to take a tour of the reef.

Not sure why but Booking put what I didn't like first. There isn't much I didn't like. Just trying to be clear about location. The nice part about the location is there are many pristine beaches nearby. And it is away from the noise and lights of the city. But we found ourselves driving to Cairns in early AM several times as tour companies would only pick up in city. We wondered if we should have stayed in the city. Then we talked to a couple on a tour who stayed Cairns. They wished they had booked a place away from the city.... hmmm This homestay is in a good location for beaches, Daintree and other hikes. Just be prepared it is half hour from Cairns. But that might be what you want. In the end, we were glad we stayed here

Location

The two dogs didn’t only bark at arrivals. They growled aggressively at my guests every time they left their bedrooms to enter the living space. They occupied some of the seating and growled at my friends. My male friend would not let the scratching and whining dog out of the room it was closed in, so my female friend had to do it. I accept your milk explanation Howie but you have not addressed the growing dogs. Any dog, when growling at someone, gives the impression of aggression even if you say it’s not. My Great-aunt had to retreat to her bedroom. My friends DID take her to the venue - you are incorrect. Maybe she was phoning to confirm the arrangements. She didn’t have a phone on her. You must address the issue of the dogs as they behave as the Alpha presence. A child or adult who has a phobia or fear of dogs needs to be protected. You must mention these dogs as part of your home stay. Three adults, all familiar with farm and pet dogs in a range of contexts, found the presence and growling of your dogs when they entered the living area, to be uncomfortable and threatening. Please understand, acknowledge and act.

Friendly hosts good knowledge of local area ..

Proximity to function

Dogs showed potential aggression and three people were not comfortable with them particularly the small 89 year old guest. One dog was locked in bedroom and scratched and whined until after midnight and my friend had to let it out. Be aware this is a home stay co-habiting with the owners with two large dogs which growled at my friends every time they saw them. Bronwyn was a great host. They need to be kept away. One of the guests was a male, used to dogs on farms and who owns a dog, and he felt threatened. Your only privacy is in your bedroom. Not even an introductory small milk for tea and coffee and no soap in the bathroom to wash your hands.

Made us feel welcome

Very friendly best stay!!!

The shower was amazing! Lovely pool and welcoming hospitality.

There is a dog, who for some may be scary, but he's actually not.
