About this villa rental
Carinya - an Aboriginal word meaning 'happy, peaceful home' and we welcome you to experience this with us.
Carinya is purpose-built for holiday living with split-pavilion style accommodation, offering mountain views and a private pool with quasi outdoor area.
In a sought after location, only 5 minutes walk to the Palm Cove beach and esplanade, via a tropical boardwalk, Carinya is your perfect holiday destination.
Key features of Carinya are a spacious kitchen, private outdoor dining/pool area, air-conditioning throughout the house and comfortable bedrooms.
The house is pavilion-style, so it is split into two buildings joined by an undercover outdoor living/pool area.
The central entertaining area has a plunge pool, outdoor table and a gas BBQ, surrounded by gardens and linked to the indoor space via large bi-fold doors.
Inside is a spacious kitchen and a living room with a large smart tv and leather couch, with a second seating area adjoining the patio.
Upstairs is the master bedroom, with a king bed, ensuite, walk-in robe and a private balcony with mountain views.
The second pavilion has a living/study area, two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with two single beds (which also can be made into a king upon request) and a bathroom which has a shower and bath.
Guests have access to the entire house, including garage and private pool. There is also a local health club with a 25m lap pool, gym and sauna, only a 5 minute walk from the house. Casual visits start from $15.
About 30 minutes north of Cairns, Palm Cove is a tiny beachside village centred around an esplanade lined with 500-year-old melaleuca trees. Walk around barefoot, choose a bike instead of a car and buy fresh seafood for a sunset barbecue on the beach. You can hire a kayak and paddle right off the beach or take a tour to nearby Double Island. The Palm Cove jetty is a great fishing spot, with plenty of Spanish mackerel, cod, whiting, stripeys and flathead to be caught.
Please note that the house is split into two buildings.
While this can be ideal for families with older children or groups of friends, if you have young children the distance between the main room and back bedrooms may not be suitable.

We also have an in-house travel agency, Cozie Travel, with local travel experts that have a wealth of experience booking a wide range of tours, both within Cairns and all over Australia.
We are more than happy to help with booking your trips and assisting with car rentals. We can probably answer any queries you might have in relation to tours and excursions, so do reach out to us - even if it’s just for honest advice!

All adults will need to present I.D when checking in or beforehand.
Only the amount of people on the booking are permitted at the property.

5.0 / 5.0
Clean and comfortable property- well suited to travelling with teens as there is a separate pavilion connected to the main house. No garden but a nice semi covered area with plunge pool, and good location (a short stroll to the beach).
4.0 / 5.0
We had a wonderful time here. My parents stayed upstairs in the main house and my husband and I stayed with our infant toddler in the granny flat, which adjoins to the main house and really feels part of it, rather than out the back, so you have privacy but also can use the common areas together easily. The location is incredible - a short boardwalk stroll to the main stretch of cafes, shops and kids playground. Save for the stairs the house is pretty toddler proof.
The listing could be massively improved with a few inexpensive tweaks - better small appliances like a new toaster and a milk frother to go with the nespresso machine. A new bin, some new pegs for the clothesline etc. Small things that make a huge difference especially if you're staying for longer than a few days. I also think a housekeeper coming to change sheets once over the course of our 2.5 week stay would have been appropriate given the price of the stay.
Otherwise, seamless check in / check out, great property and incredible location. We will be back :)
5.0 / 5.0
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Wonderful, modern house with fantastic outdoor area/pool. The excellent communication and some thoughtful homely additions made it the perfect escape for our family holiday in FNQ. The separation between the main living/master and the additional two bedrooms was fantastic for our teens.
