Fantastic apartment with beautiful views, well-equipped kitchen, and spacious balcony. Great location close to restaurants and beach. Highly recommended!
10.0 / 10.0
We loved our stay at this apartment and will certainly be booking again when we visit Palm Cove! Great communication with the owner as well as Sy, the check-in contact. Sy has lots of local knowledge and can certainly offer some great advice. The apartment was clean and tidy with the perfect amount of space for a couple. Excellent location - right across from the beach - and the Drift Apartments is a fantastic resort. Cannot recommend more highly! Do yourself a favour and book this apartment!

Very comfortable and well presented apartment with generous balcony, perfect for enjoying sunrise over the beach. Kitchenette is basic but adequate for simple meals. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

The view and excellent locality close to shops, bus stop & beach. What I didn’t like was very little room to prepare food. A safety issue was lack of space for toaster which had to be placed close to cooking appliances & water outlet. No room for toaster & kettle at the same time. Also some terrific celery, but no bread knife or spoons… only 1 teaspoon.

Couldnt fault the position. Great to hear the waves at night. Spoilt for choice with restaurants and cafes!
Only thing I would say is owner needs to change checkin and checkout times with Stayz.

Just loved my stay. The location, views, comfortable bed and all the amenities. I couldn't have wished for anything more. The pool was ideal for my morning workouts and the walks at sunrise were truely amazing. So easy to get around without a car and the local bus went every half hour into Cairns.

Perfect, well managed apartment in a great complex, close to good food and drink options and short walk to the rest of the Palm Cove facilities. Pool is huge!

The apartment is great ..
Beautiful ocean views…
Comfortable bed…
Can walk everywhere (don’t need to rent a car if you just want to relax)
Cheap Taxi from & to Cairns airport
Could do with an updated bathroom … but best water pressure…
The building itself could do with a deep clean…. Pool untidy & way too much chlorine…

It's rare that a holiday apartment is ACTUALLY right across the road from the beach even if the marketing material says it is but in this case, we enjoyed a fantastic location with views of the sea, and it was literally just across from the beach

We really enjoyed our stay at this spacious, clean apartment. Well set up. Small kitchen was organised and adequate with toaster, nespresso machine, stove, dishwasher and microwave. Great communication and care from Sy and Maria. Beautiful view from the spacious balcony. Perfect location, Thank you!

This apartment is on the top floor across the street from the ocean - absolutely beautiful!
The negatives: The kitchen has no workspace which makes it quite impractical if you're wanting to prepare meals (there is a table on the balcony but that's it).
To check in, you have to wait for someone to meet you there and let you in (which required us waiting for 20 minutes, hungry, tired and 'busting') rather than a key safe or something we could just do ourselves, which we felt was a bit antiquated. (The reception at the resort have nothing to do with this apartment.)
Positives: It had most items we needed for cooking and living comfortably during our stay.
The bed was comfortable, and huge.
The promised beach towels are a lovely big 'beach towel' size.
We had a wonderful stay

No property name provided and the address given is interpreted by satnav to be around the corner and 150 metres away at a different business, this glitch causes real check in hassles, which should be corrected ASAP!

Absolutely loved staying here! The view was spectacular and the location was perfect! The outdoor patio area was super spacious and a great place to have an afternoon drink with a view. The host was incredibly welcoming and allowed us to drop our luggage off early. She was also super helpful providing food recommendations in the region! Would highly recommend staying and would definitely love to go back and stay!

Great location
The apartment was clean and comfortable but the kitchen was too small and compact. A table or built in bench would have made it usable. Fortunately we had not planned to cook so that wasn’t too much of a problem. The bathroom could have done with some updating as the shower was over the bath which could be problematic for older guests. The staff downstairs were most unhelpful when we asked about some tours because we were not staying via Stayz rather than one of their letting.
The view from the sizeable balcony was great and a favourite place for us to relax. The pool was very good though there was some limitation to its use as the deck was being stained. We would come back to this apartment due to it’s location and the wonderful views. Any issues seem to be minimised in comparison to these huge benefits.

Palm Cove 3 day stay
Accommodation was in excellent location. Would prefer separate shower rather than bath/shower. Update on the pillows needed. Thank goodness for the ceiling fans and air conditioning to beat the heat and humidity. It was a very enjoyable stay.

Ideal seaside location with outstanding water views
This is a lovely 1 bedroom apartment with a large balcony overlooking Williams Esplanade, giving easterly sunrise views through the palm trees.
As part of the Drift apartment complex you have access to the large resort pool and the other amenities. Whilst the kitchen is small but functional, you don't need to worry as
you can walk to the seaside cafes and restaurants nearby.
The bathroom is a little dated with a shower in the bath tub setup, overall the apartment is well worth the stay for a couple. We hope to be back again soon.
