Cheryl is a great host with good local knowledge and recommendations. The property has all the best amenities you could need. The pool was my highlight.
We hope to return in the future as 2 nights was not long enough.
The studio is perfectly equipped with everything to enjoy your time away. It is finished to a high standard. Cheryl is a generous and approachable host. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back in the future.
We had an awesome time! Cheryl is a beautiful kind hearted person, always available to help. She treated us like family. The property is exactly as advertised and 20 mins from cairns city & the airport. Location is so safe & peaceful. I highly recommend this property to anyone going to cairns, you won’t be disappointed. Thx to Cheryl for having us.

Thanks! Loved the studio! Would put couple gates in front of garbage/recycling bins opp, otherwise “all good! Everything l needed & sooo clean & tidy! 🙏
The studio is just North of Cairns in Smithfield and is very well appointed with all possible appliances. You need a car to access all the things we wanted to do while we were there. The owner is on the property and is helpful. She supplied lots of things while we were there. Very hand to the shopping centre and Airport is just down the road. Kuranda is a 15 min drive away and is a lovely place to visit.
A great place to stay for the three weeks we were in Cairns.

Wonderful hub
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed making this our abode for 4 days. Appliances and linens we're first rate and we were so grateful to have Cheryls 'starter' pantry supplies, as we encounntered Anzac Day, the nations major holiday when the grocery was closed. Access to the homes pool was a wonderful bonus to relax in and watch the night sky after a long day. The location is very convenient, comfy, and private, but close to a shopping center, sky rail to Kuranda, and bus stops. We made use of all of them. I highly recommend this stay for couples!
This beautifully appointed studio apartment was perfect for our time in Cairns. We rented a car and were able to easily travel to our Barrier Reef excursion and the Kuranda wildlife parks. We spent time at the nearby shopping center and could have easily walked there. We also had an easy drive to Trinity Beach.
The appliances in the studio were a bit challenging, but the owner has detailed manuals available which helped us figure everything out. We enjoyed the variety of coffee, tea, fruit, etc that was provided for us. We would highly recommend staying here and would love to stay again if we ever return to Cairns.
Perfect location for all sightseeing. Close to grocery shops. Wonderfully clean and tidy and well equiped with utensils. Ample supply of food and toiletries Host was a very pleasant person .

The Studio was as described, fully equipped for our 40 day stay. Ideally placed for both the Northern beaches and the City with a huge shopping complex just a short walk/drive away. A great place for a great stay.
The pictures that you see and the studio itself are exactly the same.
It's also a studio that has everything you need.
Cheryl and Peter are lovely people and will do everything they can to make sure that you will have a beautifull holiday. Thanks for everything!!!

Fantastic, quiet and clean! Luxury studio in great location.
What a gem! No expense was spared in designing this delightful studio suite. Everything is provided for what you will want and need for a fantastic vacation. High end (full sized) appliances, ample storage and fully stocked kitchen of crockery, pots and coffee maker (and more). Even some food basics to start your trip. The fridge has an ice maker and water purifier too which was lovely. The suite is clean and comfortable. Perfect for a short holiday or long stay. It really is luxurious and self-contained. Five minute drive to the skyrail and shopping. Great location for Port Douglas, the airport and Cairns CBD. Highly recommend!

Superb!
I'm a "home is my sanctuary" type and I expect to compromise when I travel for work. Cheryl's luxury studio was fitted out with every fixture and furnishing I'd include in my own home! I could not have been luckier to find a more convenient, comfortable, private and pleasurable place to spend my time in Cairns. Such a clever little setup, well done!

Amazing! So tidy and close to everything we will be back!
My husband was very pleased when we arrived at the overall look of the studio. It’s modern and tidy and very convenient with a shopping centre a short drive down the road. Close to the airport. Was very impressed with how much stuff cheryl had supplied in the fridge and the cupboard. Very much appreciated. Can’t wait to come back.
