Carinya has been purpose-built for holiday living, offering a unique split-pavilion design with mountain views and a private pool set within a quasi-outdoor area. Nestled in a sought-after location, it’s only a five-minute stroll to the Palm Cove beach and esplanade via a scenic tropical boardwalk, making it the perfect destination for your getaway. The home features a spacious kitchen, air-conditioning throughout, and comfortable bedrooms, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The pavilion-style design splits the house into two interconnected buildings, linked by an undercover outdoor living area that serves as the central hub. Here, you’ll find a refreshing plunge pool, a dining table, and a gas BBQ, all surrounded by lush gardens. Large bi-fold doors seamlessly connect this outdoor haven to the indoor spaces, which include a modern kitchen and a living room with a smart TV and leather couch. An additional cosy seating area adjoins the patio for moments of quiet relaxation. Upstairs in the main pavilion, the master bedroom boasts a king-sized bed, ensuite, walk-in robe, and a private balcony with stunning mountain views. The second pavilion offers a separate living or study area, two additional bedrooms—one with a queen bed and the other with two singles that can be converted into a king upon request—and a bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub. Guests have exclusive access to the entire house, including the garage and private pool. Just a five-minute walk away, a local health club features a 25m lap pool, gym, and sauna, with casual visits starting at $15. Palm Cove itself is a charming beachside village about 30 minutes north of Cairns. Its esplanade is lined with ancient melaleuca trees, creating a serene environment where you can ditch the shoes, opt for a bike over a car, and savor fresh seafood for a sunset barbecue on the beach. Adventurous guests can hire a kayak to explore nearby waters, take a tour to Double Island, or try their luck fishing off the jetty, known for Spanish mackerel, cod, whiting, and more. Please note, the split-pavilion layout of the house can be ideal for families with older children or groups of friends. However, it may not be suitable for families with very young children due to the distance between the main pavilion and the back bedrooms.

Jul 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable holiday house 2 mins walk to beach 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). ##### Ann W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Isabelle R. Jun 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic for long or short stay 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 :) ##### Isabelle R. Stayed 16 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Jun 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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. ##### Michelle Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Burleigh Surf Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-Surf-Apartments.h4593274.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Orlando.h914146.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Curaçao](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Curacao-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6143269-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Canal Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Canal-Park-Duluth-Hotels.0-n6092479-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels.d178296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Tangalooma Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Tangalooma-Island-Resort.h2254989.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea World Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Sea-World-Resort.h871443.Hotel-Information) > > [Savannah Beach Club Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Savannah-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h527642.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Midtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Midtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n553248635976400976-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sheraton San Diego Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Sheraton-San-Diego-Hotel-And-Marina.h11109.Hotel-Information) > > [Brisbane Skytower by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Brisbane-Skytower.h19178209.Hotel-Information) > > [Belise Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Belise-Apartments.h16643532.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h11768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Jasper](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels.d10578.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Victoria-Inn-Hotel-And-Convention-Centre-Winnipeg.h13226.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Surfers Paradise Hotel & Residences](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Hilton-Surfers-Paradise-Hotel-And-Residences.h4238660.Hotel-Information) > > [Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Peppers-Soul-Surfers-Paradise.h4619963.Hotel-Information) > > [Ripplecove Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ayers-Cliff-Hotels-Ripplecove-Hotel-Spa.h3183.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ginza](https://www.expedia.ca/Ginza-Tokyo-Hotels.0-n6048237-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Q1 Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Q1-Resort-Spa.h1859086.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Boston (BOS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/bos/montreal-to-boston) > > [Flights from Penticton (YYF) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyf/yyc/penticton-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/las/hamilton-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/31/flights-from-canada) ### Packages > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Long Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Long.d6311649.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Collingwood](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood.dx11938)
