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!

We had a wonderful stay here. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. Enjoyable to be able to watch the beach when we were there. Easy and safe parking. The apartment was beautifully presented. Highly recommend.
The guest room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Above all, I was impressed by the kindness and generosity of the hotel staff, Mr. Stuwart. He told me that October is the best season. I would like to come again.

The apartment was lovely, home from home. Just about everything you would need for a longer stay. Air con and fans in all rooms. Brilliant patio area and gardens and a lovely little pool with a small BBQ area.
Washer and dryer in a laundry room.
I can’t praise this place and the hosts, Stuart and Tony enough.

Loved looking out in beautiful warm mornings through palm trees to the sea. Loved the wallabies and the bush stone curlews. Our vantage point was perfect. Great walks, either to Kewarra Beach or to Palm Cove. Local cafe Coco Mojo was walkable and great.

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds in a spacious clean apartment looking out to the ocean with the sound of waves lapping on the beach from our balcony - a piece of paradise! 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.

Stuart was an amazing host. He even gave us recommendations on what to do. The property was directly across the beach. We could hear beach waves off our balcony. We had adequate space for 4 of us and amenities were wonderful. He even had ac on waiting for us when we arrived late at night. Highly recommend this place

I’ve stayed in a few nice places, this one is easily my favourite. My apartment was fantastic, great quality throughout. Loved the huge balcony, East facing so you get sunrise over the ocean. Then there is a smaller balcony at the back with excellent forest views, including a family of wallabies which visited daily.
Lifts to your floor, really nice swimming pool, great walking paths along the beach right out the front, so much to like.
And the staff were friendly, helpful and very accommodating, couldn’t ask for more.
Hope to go back one day!

Our stay was lovely, the gentlemen that run the apartments were great. Theaoartment was clean had all necessary items to start you off in the kitchen and an array of different glasses fir what ever you were drinking. The only problem was the two couches were very uncomfortable, unlucky for us they are in the middle of changing them, they are right onto wgat was needing change. To our surprise the two gentleman knocked on our door with a very nice bottle of Champagne for our 51st Anniversary,this just goes to show how well they treat their guests.we will Definately stay there agsin and soon. Also the beach front is so beautiful and cleaned every day. Amazing walking paths all the way to Palm Cove.
Thank you again for a great three days.

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.
