Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. It is a small city with all that a city has to offer, but is also where the rainforest meets the reef. You can hike in the rainforest, swim in the creeks, dive on the coral reef, visit the islands, drive a boat along the inlet, explore the town, check out the waterfront cafes and bars - pretty much anything you can think of that takes place in a tropical paradise. For our guests, we will always leave a booklet with everything you need to know about the area - the best places to spot the local wildlife (cassowaries, crocodiles, etc), the best bars and restaurants, family friendly attractions, the best day trips... The weather is perfect most of the year, so visit anytime of year!

We had an amazing time at Sam's place, so relaxed and beautiful. Very well located, just minutes from the airport and the city. House has everything you need, even a playstation for kids. We absolutely loved little kitten Hobbs who gave us such a warming welcome. Our apartment was left in immaculate order and clean. Really great swap!

It was a delight to have Sam and her family stay in our home - they treated it with the utmost respect! Their home is a child's dream! The pool is beautiful. This family have a massive heart for animals, we adored looking after and playing with Hobbs, their little kitten - a true highlight for us.
