South Pacific Bed & Breakfast, hotel in Clifton Beach

Featuring a lovely outdoor heated swimming pool, free breakfast and free Wi-Fi, South Pacific Bed & Breakfast is just 2 minutes' walk from Clifton Beach.

Wonderful tropical retreat with the option of a room in the main house or a little private unit - pool had a gorgeous jungle feel. You can get away without a car but probably easier to hire one. We loved our stay and hope to return.

Argosy On The Beach, hotel in Clifton Beach

Argosy On The Beach is situated in the picturesque location of Clifton Beach, a 20-minute drive north of Cairns and a 5-minute drive from Palm Cove.

We loved our stay here. The hosts Stuart and Tony were very hospitable, nothing was too much trouble for them. We were in apartment 2, which was newly and beautifully decorated. And spotlessly clean. The location was perfect, right across from the ocean, and not too far from the restaurants at Palm Cove and Trinity Beach. It was an easy drive from the Cairns airport and to Port Douglas.

Loved everything about this hotel! The staff are incredible. They are so friendly and make you feel at home. The pool is fantastic and could always get a lounge chair to lie on at any time of day. The breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast I've ever had and the lunch and dinner is also the best in Palm Cove. The signature inclusions were also a fantastic touch including the sunrise yoga (which is between the palms!), the sorbet by the pool and the canapes and punch at 5pm. They think of everything!!

    The beautiful breeze was lovely whenever I sat on a comfortable seat on the grass near the beach... We thought the views were amazing in every way we turned on the walkway across the road from the Agincourt Beachfont...We will be returning. It will most likely be in the winter though, as humidity is very high in the summer for us, as a couple from the central coast, in N.S.W. Thank you! It is close enough for a drive to Cairns, Port Douglas and other beautiful spots.

    Clifton Beach is a quiet lovely beach with an excellent shady path to allow walking amongst the trees. Unfortunately there was only one restaurant/cafe but given the proximity to Palm Cove and Trinity beach this was not a drawback.

    Pretty quiet, my kind of place, yet close to everything I need, restaurants, the Italian is great,Trinity Beach Sports Club, supermarket. The beach is just down the road. Unfortunately some knob is building a multi story apartment block, not required in this quiet backwater and too many already. Palm Cove is for the rage all night spew all day set.

    The accommodation management company responded quickly to our request and were very professional. The apartment was spacious and comfortable although a little dated. The shower was small and the bathroom could be updated. It was located in a quiet area on the beach which was lovely. There weren’t many cafes around and a bit of a walk to the supermarket. A car would be recommended.

    Clifton Beach is a lovely quiet suburb on the beach about 20mins drive from Cairns. Very relaxing. There was one local restaurant near the beach which was very good. A local shopping centre with some restaurants with take-away options and a supermarket for shopping is located in Clifton Beach on the highway too. Palm Cove with more restaurants is located 3km away and can you easily walk there along the bicycle path. There is a local bus service which goes from Palm Cove to Clifton Beach and then to Cairns. A car however is really a lot more convenient to travel to Cairns and see the sites.

    The property is opposite to the Clifton beach and offers beautiful views of the same. We had opted for the garden/pool view and that was beautiful as well. It was very peaceful and we enjoyed lounging in the balcony. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials and had the full range of utensils for cooking. The apartment was spacious. Though the bedroom didn't have an AC, the AC in the hall is powerful enough to cool the bedroom as well. The TV in the bed room was perfect to catch up on late night TV & morning news

    The villa was wonderful! We were surprised how much better it looked in real than on the pictures. The highlight was for us the balcony with this view. Everywhere are this beautiful palm trees. We were staying there for three nights and we loved it. Enough space, all what you need in the kitchen/bathroom and cute little details everywhere! Palm cove is a short 20min walk so the location is perfect. We would recommend the villa for couples or small families. Thanks for this amazing stay.

    Argosy on the Beach was an excellent place to stay for a holiday in the Cairns area. The apartment has a great view over the palms trees and beachfront. The apartment was well furnished, with all the amenities provided too. The air-conditioning was great too when the humidity was getting a bit much. The apartment is located only a short walk to Palm Cove along the bike track, and also close to a supermarket in Clifton Beach for shopping.

    We had an excellent experience staying at Clifton Sands Holiday Units and will be back. This applies right from the arrival when we got the key to the apartment at the reception. Here sits Linda, who is very helpful in answering all sorts of questions and is service-minded. The apartment is the right size, with a super kitchen and a nice balcony. The apartment is close to the beach, shopping facilities, cafes, and restaurants.

    Location was beautiful, quite a drive from the Cairns CBD but if you are going because you want to be in those northern beaches area then you wont be disappointed. It was one of the only accomodations of its size which was perfect for us. Privacy and safety was amazing and double garage was a bonus. Hosts were fantastic and very accomodating. We forgot to write in the guest book but will be sure to stay again.

    Wonderfully spacious and clean unit, right across the road from the beach. Great location but quiet and away from the busyness of Palm Cove and Cairns. The pool and grounds were very tidy and clean and the manager Judith was really friendly and helpful. Kind of didn't want to do this review because I don't want to find it's all booked up next time we want to go. We will definitely be back!

    The property at Clifton Beach is in an exceptional location. To have 3 bed two baths was just wonderful. The free undercover parking exceeded expectations and the well stocked cupboards had everything you could think of. Its just a lovely apartment with very friendly residents and we really felt we had value for money. Many thanks for a great stay.

    Great stay at the sea turtle. The property was super clean, newly renovated and nicely decorated. The bed was so comfortable that I checked the brand because I’d like to purchase for my home. Location is 2 minute walk from the beach and there is a grocery store 2 minute away. It was a good base to explore Cairns.

    The location is excellent, just a 10-15 minute stroll to Coles at Clifton Village and another 10-15 minute walk along the boardwalk to the cafes and restaurants at Palm Cove. Additionally, the host generously provided us with delicious complimentary fruits, bread and snacks, enhancing our stay even further.

    Location. 20 metres from the beach. Quite area not in the middle of Palm Cove, which would have been too busy for our likings. 3 min drive to local shopping centre. Size of room with 2 bathrooms and obviously stunning sea view.
