We had an absolutely wonderful time in your apartment and highly recommend it to anyone travelling to Palm Cove. We were travelling with a baby and found that you had everything we needed- cot, high chair, pram, bath, toys, pool toys/floats etc... This made our trip very easy and relaxing. The information you gave us prior to our trip also came in extremely useful. I couldn't recommend your apartment more highly to anyone. Belinda, Melbourne, NOV 2010

Locality

The picturesque village of Palm Cove, just 25 minutes north of Cairns and 30 minutes south of Port Douglas, is surrounded by a palm fringed sandy beach with unlimited views across the aqua blue waters of the Coral Sea to Green & Double Island.

Palm Cove is an ideal base from which to explore the spectacular Great Barrier Reef and magnificent rainforests of far North Queensland. It is the ultimate holiday destination offering a unique mix of casual, relaxed atmosphere with world class facilities.

Deserve a pampering, then visit one of Palm Coves many rejuvenating spas. Soothe the body & soul with a complete and sensational restoration experience, choosing from massage treatments, body wraps, personalised facials or manicure and pedicure treatments.

There are many fun attractions for that family day out. Go and see the animals at Cairns Tropical Zoo, or go on a spotlighting tour at the Cairns Night Zoo. See the crocodiles in their natural habitat at Hartleys Crocodile Adventures. Ride the skyrail and scenic train to Kuranda. Make a day of it and whilst in Kuranda visit Birdworld, the Butterfly Sanctuary or Koala Gardens. Want some water action..go for a swim at Palm Cove patrolled beach or Muddy's Water play park on Cairns Esplanade. Or even go for a half or full day to the reef.

For the adventurous there is plently to see and do. Choose from a rainforest safari through Daintree; scuba diving or snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef; bungy jumping (including night bungy jumping); hot air ballooning; sea kayaking to Green Island; white water rafting; skydiving; parasailing; 4WD tours through Cape Tribulation; or even try your hand at deep sea fishing.

Interested in golf. Play the 9 hole (eighteen tee) course at Palm Cove Country Club within Novotel Resort or prefer a full 18 holes, take a 5 minute drive and you can have a hit at Paradise Palms ranked 67 in top 100 Australian golf courses

All too much, then just sit and relax by the pool directly outside your apartment.

Property
