"Marina Waterfront was perfect for our stay in Cairns. There was plenty of room inside and out. Really happy about the secure parking behind a gate for our 4WD's. The outdoor area was fantastic, plenty of seating with a lovely view of the pool and marina. The kitchen was well stocked with glassware, plates, utensils and pots and pans. Nice touches like condiments, coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper was appreciated, also the mozzie spay and candles. Washing machine and perfect undercover clothes line was also a bonus. Thanks for washing machine tabs :) Beds were comfy and the house was beautifully presented, clean and very tidy. It was a real pleasure to stay in a property so thoughtfully put together. We hope we can come back again soon."

Escape to Villa Catana: Spacious Home with Pool, Lush Gardens, and Close to Nature!

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay here was everything we needed. As a family with three young children (5yo, 3yo and 1 yo) we needed space for naps and quiet time and a generous kitchen for food prep with washer dryer facilities and this placed ticked all those boxes. Attention had been paid to various aspects of baby proofing (ie oven guard and some socket guards) which was a plus for us. The team were also helpful with having the cot and high chair set up for our arrival.The pool is not large but was again perfect for our needs of swimming with younger children with a nice long and wide edge step for them to play on. It was also very safely fenced.The place was very neat and tidy with a lovely living dining area. We hired a car as it was not centrally located but that was part of the appeal for us. It was a nice quiet neighbourhood that felt safe and secure walking around with the little children. It was about a 5 minute drive to to local supermarkets.I’m sure people without kids would love it too, but for us it suited our needs perfectly"
