Please note that checking late is not easy. You need to follow instructions to get the keys to the apartment, which is not easy after 5 hours flight. The owner had to come out and assist us to find our way to the apartment. She was very polite and welcoming. Everything was clean and orginized. The kitchen is perfect and has pretty much everything you need to cook except a sautee' pan. The one we found was scratched (non stick). So we decided to eat out everyday which can be expensive. Next door Vivo restaurant is a superb choice, the food is out of this world, service is also terrific.
The swimming pool is very small. Clean and surrended by beautiful garden and chairs.
There is no swimming at the beach due to Salt crocodiles and stingers. They have a designated swimming area where a net protects the public. The weather can be unpredictable, one minute sun shine the next heavy rain. The area is very peaceful and relaxing. You will not be disappointed.

What a beautiful place to stay. The pool was gorgeous to swim in and the shallow part up the top was ideal to just lounge around in for hours (would be excellent if you have small children). Very quiet and private. Virtually in the middle of the main street so such an easy walk one way to bottleshop/pub and supermarket or the other way to some beautiful dining options. Fantastic view of the ocean. Was simply perfect for mine and my partners valentines day. Even having ice ready to go in the freezer was well appreciated. Most hotels have empty ice trays that you have to fill which isn't helpful when you arrive with drinks. Most definitely would stay again.

The best easygoing accomodations in Palm Cove. The units are spacious with a full kitchen, plus they have a nice grilling area by the pool which we used 3 times. Friendly staff. No,not is not new all white modern styling, but it is very clean and comfortable.
Really is a good bargain compared to some of the other places nearby.
Located directly in front of the beach and the esplanade walking path. Washer and dryer in the unit was super helpful. Great place to stay!!

The beach & esplande are steps away & there is a guarded beach close by. Highly recommmend this spot for anyone interested in nature & a gorgeous relaxing spot near to many activities.

Time to spend some money, guys

This is a well located property and Magaret is a wonderful host. The property is, however, very run down. Even things a basic as the out front signage are years past needing to be replaced. there is rust and general decrpitude everywhere. And dont get me started on the iron and kitchen appliances etc. A decision needs to be made as to whether to give this property a major revamp or put the bulldozer through. Given the current property market, I expect the later to be the better option.

The communication before we got there was poor. The manager told me she was organising us transfers and would email me some outer reef day trip options and I never heard from her. I emailed and called and never got a response. Very poor communication so ended up organising it all myself. The beds were two single beds pushed together and my partner and I kept falling down between the two beds. We ended up sleeping on two single futons in the Loungeroom- not ideal for our first romantic holiday away together. Otherwise it was fine, great location. But would choose somewhere else next time that had better communication initially and bed setup not like what we had.

Wow Margaret & Stephen are the best on site managers. Know the area better than anyone. The location is the best spot anywhere in Palm Cove. With the beach across the road, it’s the best accom by far! Pool is excellent, spent hours relaxing in it and lunch around the pool too.So many restaurants so close to Melaleuca it’s awesome!. Parking at rear near unit great. Units are very good, air con, kitchen, washing machine & dryer. We will definitely be back at Melaleuca can’t wait! 10/10

Loved everything about the resort. Just needs a bit of an upgrade in appliances such as the TV size, an extra tv in the bedroom and offer fresh towels daily for longer stays, but everything else was great. Will recommend the resort and will be staying there again

Relaxing getaway.

Excellent place to stay. Close to everything. Beach is straight across Esplande. Close to bus stop if you do not have a car. All the facilities you would require on few days away are available here. One minor downside is the internet signal could certainly do with a boost.

Great place to stay at a very good price!

Very nice apartment block in the center of everything. Small block of 24 apartments provides a boutique and relaxed overall feel. Fully fitted out kitchen with full sized appliances, washer and dryer in the bathroom. Nicely landscaped gardens and pool area. Good sized 1 bedroom apartment with chairs on your deck. Fully fitted our barbecue dining pavilion. Palm Cove Beach is just a few steps out your door, and across the road. Very good value for the money. Very likely we will stay here again.

Bad condition apartment

Listed as 4-star resort, but it’s an apartment with 80’s condition and appliances(see pictures p1-7),smelly mattress/bedroom, not trusted owners/management, hidden cost for extra kids and safety box(p-8).

Noticed the following not working: 1st day-entry door 2cm gap, moldy living room blind 5cm gap& kitchen light;2nd day-dishwasher flood the kitchen and stove not working;3rd day-bathroom moldy blind fell.....too tied to mention here and report, but afraid to get charged. The owner claimed that the dishwasher works, the flooding was due to I didn’t close the door completely. and the electric stove can cook, but only the indicator light wasn’t on. SAFETY and honesty issues!!!

Charged $30 per kid per night while not listed in the “extra fee” policy. Wanted to charge $5 per night for safety box... not sure what else will be charged

No laundry detergent avail and big tissue box only had 10 pieces left, don’t want to ask anymore.

They also tried to sell tours for commissions (skyrail and Karanda railways for $315, but $286 in the official site https://www.skyrail.com.au/cairnstours/skyrail-kuranda-rail). I didn’t want to use the coupons they offered due to this reason.

Palm Cove beach is small, water color is yellow like river. Food/restaurant is expensive and no option. No trust big hotel avail. would have stayed in Cairns for foods and Port Douglas for beach and access to reefs tour.

Location is the best, Palm Cove is the best place to stay to see the Reef and other attractions. Having kitchen and personal laundry was very good for a week stay. Five minutes drive or bus to a very good grocery store makes it easy to cook what you want, especially if you are on a diet. But lots of restoranse around , ice cream etc.. Very good beach and walking along the beach. Perfect place to stay!

Budget apartment

Great central location, quiet, spacious rooms, good kitchen, washing machine bonus.
Wifi very poor, could not open email attachment or reply, one reason we stayed here, urgently needs upgrade for speed. One key only, and that is required to operate air conditioner, very inconvenient when 2 people have different living timetables and you are urged to keep apartment locked at all times. Blinds need urgent upgrade, one even fell off. Pool is small but lawn area spacious with lots of lounges, chairs and good BBQ facilities.

Great location, good facilities and lovely manager

Great apartments for self catering. Well maintained and comfortable, and had washing machine and dryer. Margaret was an excellent host, she's very helpful and approachable, organising a number of tours for us. The pool was lovely and apartments all had Foxtel. The only slightly negative was the free wifi wasn't great as we often could not connect or it was very slow. We ended up using our own portable wifi. I would certainly recommend this place to family and friends, the location was fantastic, great facilities and managers were so easy to deal with.
