Top Cassowary Forest Nature Refuge Hotel Reviews

Trinity Collective

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean outside and in the lobby/check-in area. The staff was amazing and so sweet and friendly! The room was perfect and we couldn’t have loved it more!! It had everything we needed and was as advertised! I felt very safe and secure staying here. I checked in after hours and the front desk was wonderful with accommodating me with that. I would go out of my way to stay here in the future if I’m in the area!!! :)"

Coral Sands Resort

8/10 Good

"Location was amazing, view of beach, pool, close to cafes, restaurants. Room satisfactory, no screens on sliding doors, staff fantastic. No supermarket in town. Local shop very expensive."

Agincourt Beachfront Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Having stayed there many times, its in a great location, away from the tourists in Palm Cove, but easy to get to for great restaurants in Palm Cove"

Sea Change Beachfront Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely enjoyed our stay. Our apartment was huge and had everything we needed for the week. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and being close to the pool. We would definitely stay here again. I have one comment. Not related to the accommodation but more for Expedia. They listed our room but didn’t specify that you need to recommend a type of room you want even though when we booked it was pictures on a higher floor with ocean views but we put on ground level next to the pool area. Again, not a fault of the seachange but Expedia. They need to correct this for future."
