Top James Cook University Hotel Reviews
Ultimate heaven of comfort and relaxation. Entire house, large private pool.
10/10 Excellent
"Good size house, everything was very clean. The pool can be cold but it is perfect once the weather hits 25! The house has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing holiday."
Coral Sands Resort
8/10 Good
"The complex is in a great location with easy access to the beach and local restaurants. Good access to highway for exploring the wider region. Ideal for families. Apartment was nice, spacious with modern appliances, comfortable lounge area and balcony, bathrooms were a little tired but had been recently decorated. Complex is well maintained with nice garden areas and pool, secure underground parking with easy access was good"
Sea Change Beachfront Apartments
10/10 Excellent
"This location is always sold out for a reason. It is so welcoming and worth every penny. We absolutely love it here. And have stayed many times."
Luxury Tropical Escape: Beachside Villa with Heated Pool & Modern Comforts
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful neat house and wonderful clear communication with owner. Bedrooms were excellent, and a good size. Kitchen living area was spacious and beautifully designed.Pool was the best. Highly recommend this property to anybody wanting to stay in Trinity Beach"
Marina Waterfront
10/10 Excellent
"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."
Blue Lagoon Resort
10/10 Excellent
"The resort just has a beautiful feel to it; surrounded by lush garden, and on the lagoon. Despite being so big, it is very well configured to feel very private and quiet."
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"
Stunning Family Resort Style Home - Swimming Pool + Full Tennis Court
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful house that suited our group. We had a lovely time and particularly enjoyed the pool and tennis court. One thing, the bedding configuration section advertised that one of the living rooms had couches that made 4 beds. In reality, one living room had 2 couches and the other had 2 couches. This was problematic for us as we were expecting to put three teenage girls together."
Relaxed Luxury with Stunning Pyramid Views & Private Pool
10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic stay at Mountain Breeze Retreat. The home is beautifully designed with gorgeous furnishings, stunning views, cool breezes and a well‑equipped kitchen. Everything was spotless, the beds were super comfy, and the pool was a standout — crystal clear, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. The hosts were wonderfully friendly, gracious and helpful when needed, and their sweet little poodle made the stay even more special. We’d return in a heartbeat!"
