About the host
Hosted by Jacqueline and Richard
We fell in love with this property because of its cool breezes and breathtaking views. It offers peace and quiet whilst being close to all amenities and holiday attractions. Our property fringes the National Park so we are very fortunate to see the local birdlife daily and we would love you to have this same experience. The area is an established leafy suburb that has the traditional charm of yesteryear Cairns, with both traditional Queenslander and contemporary style living. The green arrow accessed from the rear of the property is part of a network of walking tracks that are part of the National Park and are very popular with locals for hiking.
We have spent time restoring the property to offer you a comfortable stay and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property
Whitfield is close to the trendy Edge Hill Village with eateries, coffee shops, bakery, bottle shop, newsagency, butcher, and spa. A medical center is located close by with a 24 hour medical center and hospital in the city center just 10 minutes' drive.
The close proximity of Cairns City offers a relaxed dining experience at restaurants to suit every taste. Walk, cycle or skate at the Esplanade or take a swim and relax at the man-made lagoon. For the adventurous, there is a state-of-the-art outdoor skateboard park, climbing boulder, volleyball, and various free fitness activities which can be viewed from the council website.
Cairns is also the home of SCUBA Diving in Australia and there are a number of companies offering dive trips and dive courses from the pier. Waterfront dining and boardwalks at the pier provide a luxurious dining experience.
Enjoy the laid-back lifestyle of the local beaches, Palm Cove, and Trinity Beach, popular with tourists which are just a short drive from the property (approx 25 mins). If you prefer a more scenic drive Port Douglas is a 45mins drive and is nestled between two World Heritage sites - The Great Barrier Reef and The Daintree Rainforest.
Attractions:
Hillview on Hillview is positioned a short walk to the Botanical Gardens and walking tracks at Whitfield National Park. Other local attractions include the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway and Scenic Rail to Kuranda, Cairns Go-Kart Hire, Laser Tag, cable skiing at Cairns Wake Park if you dare a bungee Jump at AJ Hackett's Bungee or visit and feed the crocodiles at Hartley's Crocodile Farm.
If you want to explore further afield you could visit Paronella Park, go wild water rafting at Tully, Sky Dive tour the Tablelands, or simply take the beautiful scenic drive to Port Douglas.
