Set in Holloways Beach, 1.1 km from Holloways Beach and 13 km from Cairns Station, Haven Guesthouse offers air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi. With pool views, this accommodation features a patio. The property is non-smoking and is situated 13 km from Cairns Convention Centre. Great cabin for a single guy in the area to do some hiking and wildlife photography. I was in and out at all hours and no problem. Kitchen, laundry, nice bathroom and comfortable bed. Being self contained and being able to do a little cooking and being able to wash clothes after being out in the bush was great.

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a pool with a view, pool view and a patio, Beach Bliss, Private Bedroom, Private Lounge & Bathroom, plus Netflix, Wifi is located in Kewarra Beach. This homestay features free private parking and luggage storage space. The property is non-smoking and is situated 600 metres from Kewarra Beach. Nice house, but with a kitchen that was "OFF LIMITS" and very uncomfortable, knowing we could have been watched at all times. - Nice people, but the accommodation was nothing like the carefully worded description on the website. We were essentially forced to eat out every evening, as kitchen was inaccessible to us, but we had to share the smells of the hosts cooking, which was not always pleasant.
