I had my own breakfast, but Julie adder yogourt and mango fruit to Please me. The location isn’t far from Cairns Central where Tour busses pick tourists up. If one like walking one can go to the aquarium, the seafront or the botanical Gardens.
The old frying pans.

Spacious studio with a large bathroom, decent bed & kitchen, and the host is very attentive.
The studio is essentially a room in the lower level of a Queenslander; as such, it is separated from other rooms just by doors that are locked and have a second security screen? I did not feel unsafe at all, but noise travelled A LOT. Had to tell both of my adjoining rooms to quiet down; they may have not realized as I, being alone and not using the TV, made little to no noise.
It is a 30 min walk from the centre, personally I do not mind that but people unfamiliar with Cairns should be aware.

Julie made her place as a real heaven with her two adorable cat sisters Abbey and Daisey in the heart of Cairns .The full equiped studio was extraordinary and i really had that feeling to be at home . In one word : Magic !
If you want a real Tropical Australian place where to stay don't hesitate !

This was an excellent choice for a solo traveller. The host made it easy for me to prepare well for this holiday, when I asked for advice in advance, and then ensured that I found it easy to achieve all my goals while I stayed because her recommendations were spot on. I loved the house and its position close to Cairns city centre and the friendliness I experienced here from other household members as well as the host.
8.0
I liked that it had what I needed.
It wasn't the room that was in the photos I had from Booking.com or the description e.g. no open plan bathtub, I had a shower only. But it worked out ok for me.
It wasn't as sound proof as it could be, maybe add some padding to the door leading to the other room next door to help reduce disturbing other guests.
8.0
It was a nice and cozy place with an own entrance. I enjoyed my stay and Julie was really friendly. I would stay again!
The location doesn't count as Cairns central. So if you book some tours, they don't necessarily pick you up from the accommodation. But the walk to the Central Station as pick up point is just 20 minutes.

Julie`s is in a quite area, just about 20 min walk from the Lagoon & cbd. Even if you travel without a car, the city centre, supermarkets, etc are all in walking distance.
I had the good luck to stay in the granny`s apartment with an own bathroom, kitchen & extra entrance which gave me a lot of freedom and flexibility. Beside this I could sit outside in the garden as well.
Julie was a great host who is taking care of her place but also of her guests so that you feel comfortable right from the first moment.

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent stop over at ‘Homestay at Julie's’ in Cairns.
Her home was exactly as described and suited my needs (relaxation) to a T!
The place is extremely peaceful, very clean and quiet. I would recommend it for solo travellers and couples, because of the central location, access to facilities and beautiful garden terraces.
Guests have access to spacious and airy bedrooms with TVs, free WiFi and views. The kitchen is modern, wood panelled, well-equipped and great for cooking. I felt welcome and comfortable here and would definitely book this place again.
Julie was the perfect host, not only picking me up, but also inviting me to her Christmas day lunch spectacular ! which made me feel very much at home. She even provided a hand drawn map for the shortest route to walk to town.
I can’t think of any improvements to the service and would just like to thank Julie for being such a friendly and thoughtful host!
Everything was great !

The location was safe and easy to park, the yard was beautiful - every morning breakfast on the lanai watching the birds go for the berries on the trees. The kitchen is well stocked and no one else cooks so I had it to myself. The internet was good and room was comfortable. Julie’s cats are so cute!
Mozzies but that’s literally everywhere in FNQ.
8.0
Julie was very helpful, and I appreciated she was flexible for my odd check-in time, rearranging my accommodation situation, and giving directions for all places I wanted to go. The location was perfect for me as I like walking and jogging and to go everywhere I wanted to go; just within 35 min.on foot, I could go to Cairns harbor terminal, central shopping center, and botanical garden. It was reasonable price with even using Uber to go other places. It was quiet and confortable enough to have good sleeps as well. I also liked hearing bird’s’ sounds :-), though I hear noise of cars, which didn’t bother me.
If I may comment, I would say these can be improved;
- smell and small insects in Kitchen, especially around kitchen sink.
- it would be good to have more detail instructions at the beginning to fit Julie’s life style so that she would not be worrying about, eg. how trash/garbage needs to be separated, which towels to use to dry dishes, etc

I had a very great time at Julie’s Homestay. Julie was very nice to me. It was very clean and tidy. The Homestay is near by to most of the (or in my case every) pick up point of the tours. The reef fleet terminal is also near by (30 min walk - that’s ok).
I also liked her two lovely cats very much.
if I come back to Cairns I will stay at Julie’s Homestay again!

I stayed at Julie's place for a week and really enjoyed it. The house is comfortable, quiet, well equiped and kept clean. My bed was comfy and I really appreciated having enough space and furnitures to store my things. The neighbourhood itself is quiet and at reasonable distance from Cairns central and other shops. Julie is an active person and is always ready to help. I would definately recommend staying here!

Julie has created a really welcoming space in a good location just outside of Cairns CBD. Location is good as it's on a quiet street and walkable to everything you need. The accomodation is really comfortable with everything you need for a short or long stay, with all the amenities. Julie's super helpful with the check in, including helping with transport from the airport and information on the local area. Really recommend.

Very comfy and welcoming, the cats where the cutest. Julie picked me up from the airport and dropped me off as I left. She is very sweet clearly puts her visitors first.
Because it's winter the sun sets early. The street where Julie's place is located didn't have a lot of lights which was a bit creepy alone in the dark, but nothing she could so about that.
8.0
Quiet but close to shops, buses and railway station. The property was perfect for my needs.
I have no negative remarks about the property.

Truthfully l didn't feel welcome from the beginning
5.0
The host was so rude, while showing us the house she kept telling us to shut up and turn down the voice at 6pm, basically you could not even talk in that studio. No sink in the bathroom, you need to use the kitchen one. Mold on walls and next to the bed there was a leak. For the price paid you definetely could fine a better solution. Further more she didn't want us to use the aircon in order not to spend money. Unreal!

Julie is very friendly & helpful. Central location, good value, clean, friendly & helpful staff
