Vista Hillview Family Villa -4bed/3bath/Pool

Nestled in one of Cairns premier suburbs against the tropical backdrop of Mount Whitfield, this beautiful, spacious villa mixes stylish luxury with practicality to create the perfect getaway. Boasting 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, this is the perfect holiday escape for an extendedfamily, or friends seeking a relaxing weekend away. This villa features huge open-plan living, dining and socialising areas, plus a generous pool to compliment the warmer climate - so it’s perfect for small groups!

We injected a little bit of 'luxury’ into this awesome, practical family home, to make it perfect for fun-loving families. The gardens have been beautifully landscaped with a nod to our rain forest surroundings - designed to make the perfect backdrop for relaxing on the patio, swimming in the gorgeous pool, or simply enjoying a drink on the sun loungers at the poolside.

Children are really well catered for here. They’ll love the large swimming pool, and enjoy the books, Netflix movies and games, all available on site. There’s even a tree house/climbing frame - so they’ll be too busy having fun to get bored!

Facilities and Supplies
We provide super fast unlimited WiFi, Netflix, a family BBQ and all the comforts you'd want on a family getaway.

The large kitchen is surrounded by huge indoor and outdoor entertaining areas. All these areas are open plan with bi-fold windows and doors to enable you to enjoy the balmy tropical breeze.

There are four well appointed bedrooms, which are all fully air conditioned for your comfort, as well as being fitted with soothing ceiling fans. The master bedroom has a king bed plus an en suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe. Additionally, there are two generous double bedrooms, one of which has an en suite bathroom, plus a large twin-bedded room.

Strictly no parties, no events, no late night noise and drinking. This is a quiet family neighbourhood with sensitive elderly neighbours.

During your stay, you will have complete private access to the property, pool and grounds. If you have any queries or there’s anything you need while you’re with us, we are only a phone call away.

Whitfiled is around 5k from the city center located next to Mount Whitfield Conservation park. Just a few minutes drive away, you have the neighboring suburb of 'Edge Hill' where you will find a bounty of cafe's and restaurants. Mount Whitfield itself offers visitors some popular walking trails and wildlife. Two linked circuit tracks lead energetic visitors up the forested slopes to lookouts which provide views of Cairns city and suburbs, Trinity Bay, the rich, green, coastal mangrove forests lining the Barron River, the airport and the northern beaches.

I would strongly suggest a car rental, however the Cairns city centre can be reached in around 40 minutes using public transport. You can jump on a ten minute bus to neighbouring suburb Edge Hill and popular Cafes and Restaurants.

Tours & Car hire

We also have an in-house travel agency, Cozie Travel, with local travel experts that have a wealth of experience booking a wide range of tours, both within Cairns and all over Australia.

We are more than happy to help with booking your trips and assisting with car rentals. We can probably answer any queries you might have in relation to tours and excursions, so do reach out to us - even if it’s just for honest advice!
Guests are required to fill and sign a check in form on, or prior to arrival.
All adults will need to present I.D when checking in or beforehand.
Only the amount of people on the booking are permitted at the property.

A little misleading.
The images shown do not reflect what is in real. The pool is dark, great and dirty. It is not blue like the image. There’s cobwebs all over the place. Very outdated property. The cubby house for children is full of spiders and cobwebs. Unfortunately not worth the price. If it looked like the images, then happily would have paid. It very disappointing and misled. Also garage is not accessible and only told after the booking. Totally disappointing.

Decent home in decent area
Stayed with our 4 kids for a week. The pros: Good sized home which was comfortable for all of us. The kitchen was well appointed and house was very clean. Overall a decent place. The cons: This was marketed as a luxury home with beautifully landscape gardens and family bbq. It was anything but. The house is old and it's age shows. Upon entering the property I was instantly disappointed. The photos make it look better than it is. The outdoor area front and back need grooming and tlc. The pool was a good size but appears dingy compared to photos. The "family bbq" is basically a single burner camping grill. In summary I would stay again but not at this price point, marketed as a luxurious family home which it isnt. It's an average family sized home which is comfortable for 6 to 8 people.

Plenty of Room
We were a party of 4 adults and this accommodated all of us excellently. 3 were divers and used the pool to check their gear prior to a live aboard trip. I stayed behind as I don’t dive and felt very comfortable being alone. The house is in a quiet residential neighborhood that is easy to navigate. The outdoor spaces are great. I left a pair of Bose noise canceling earphones and they mailed them to me the next day. The management company is very responsive. I would highly recommend this property. The only thing is the pool has been resurfaced and is not blue. That was a surprise. But great property!

Outstanding
The property was beautiful and the house amenities were well considered as it catered for all of our needs. Highlights for us - The beds were super comfortable and the outdoor area was a delight to relax in. We liked the fact that it was situated in a quiet neighbourhood and only took about 5 min to reach Cairns town centre and the terminals to catch the ferries, and not to far to get to the main hway to explore the coastline. It was easy to navigate back to. The hosts were lovely and provided great recommendations for activities. We had a great time and will be back.

Nice stay
We had a lovely stay, was a big property and the 3.5 bathrooms was a nice bonus. Like other reviews have said the photos do not match the property (mainly the outside) in that it was a untidy with a yard clean up needed and the kids were disappointed they couldn’t use the treehouse as it was unkept and rundown.

Great family stay at the foot of the Ranges
We had a great stay at the house with our two young children. The neighbourhood is lovely and quiet with a bakery/great coffee within walking distance and shops/restaurants a short drive. The house it’s self is very comfortable, each bedroom has air conditioning which is great for young sleeping children. The tree house in the backyard was such a hit and the pool is huge. Our host responded to our needs really quickly and dropped a few things off to the house that we’re missing. Only criticism is there could have been a few more pillow options- they were all really puffy and we woke up with sore necks. Overall we’d happily stay here again!

It is such a pleasure to have the wonderful experience of a perfect match between a great house and a property manager who cares about his work and provides great customer service. A real change from remote third party property managers. Thanks Tom! Highly recommend this beautiful tropical home and local. Super relaxing and really well appointed.
