First class property in a great location
Superbly presented property with first class amenities. All the creature comforts we could possibly want. Lots of space inside and on the outside patio and pool area allowed us to enjoy the Queensland weather. Within easy walking distance of restaurants and pub. Palm Cove was also an excellent touring base for nearby towns and attractions. Four of us had a great time. Looking forward to our next trip there.

This is the second time we have stayed at Cedar and Sea in Palm Cove. Despite the weather we had a wonderful time. The house is within walking distance to the beach and all of Palm Cove’s cafes and restaurants. The house is well equipped with everything you could need including a heated pool and great outdoor area. Would not hesitate in recommending it as a great place to stay.

This was the most beautiful and amazing place to stay. Will recommend this house to all everyone.
The house was beautiful and clean and backed into the gorgeous rainforest. The house was the best I’ve ever stayed at, it had everything from pool floats to fishing lines. Extra linen and everything you could possible think of in the kitchen. We only ate out 1 night of the week we stayed. Would use this house again in a heart beat. Thankyou.

Great location for family
We found Cedar and Sea was a lovely place to stay. Very modern, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and we appreciated blackout curtains with an infant in tow. Only negative was that we had 2 cars and only 1 space available in the garage so we had to park on steep driveway or on the road. Despite this we would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Kerrie Hancock

Host profile image
Cedar & Sea was built in October 2018 and opened as a holiday rental in January 2019 it was a labour of love and is our holiday house when we need a break from Melbourne. We have 3 grown children who we are very proud of and 3 beautiful grandchildren who keep us very busy.
We love to hear our guests had an amazing holiday so we have supplied everything we can think of to make sure you have a great stay.

Why they chose this property

We have been holidaying in Palm Cove for many many years so decided to buy something. We came across our block of land in Cedar Rd and it was under contract but we put our name down anyway, we flew home and a few days later they rang and said the contract had fallen through so we said SOLD.
A short walk to the main esplanade made it very attractive for us and no back neighbors was even more attractive, so we built our beautiful home after many hours of planning.

What makes this property unique

Perfect position close to the beach and restaurants all a 3 minute walk and a beautiful back drop of lush green rainforest with the sounds of birds.
