Top Cairns Bay Hotel Reviews

The Kermandie Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel and friendly staff"

Private Two Bedroom unit located on 63 acres Stunning views. Beautiful Sunroom.

10/10 Excellent

"Michelle and Blu's place is absolutely lovely! Stunning views from the sunroom across the valley, a beautiful property to explore, and a well-thought out and put together house to stay in. They've got a small paddock where they're raising a few albino wallabies and you might get lucky and meet Bobby, the Rufus wallaby they're hand raising. The house itself is warm and well laid out with everything we needed for a fortnight long stay. And the hosts are absolutely lovely, kind people who will help out how they can when you're in need. It was a great stay for my partner, myself, and our pup as well, we'll definitely be coming back!"

The Cabin-Wake up to the sound of native birdlife.

10/10 Excellent

"I only stayed for a couple of nights and would loved to have stayed longer. The cabin was great with a very generous selection of treats waiting on arrival. I loved the range of cooking appliances even if didn’t have time to use them. Diane was very helpful pointing me in a couple of directions related to my reason for being in that part of Tasmania."

Lune Mill River House

8/10 Good

":-) We really enjoyed our stay at Lune River. The location is incredible with amazing views on the river and very quiet nights and mornings watching the stars and birds from the decking. The house is very close to all local attractions such as Hastings caves and baths, Mystery creek caves, Cockle creek etc which was for us the main reason for booking. We also certainly enjoyed taking a bath by the river. :-( Listing very accurate with everything needed present, although some of it dusty/rusty as a lot of the house is in quite old state. Would benefit from a proper renovation, but has an old charm to it. Do not count on cooking extensively, stove is very slow. We arrived in a very cold house (10*C), with no firewood and impossibility to turn on all heaters as the same time due to electricity issues (network fine for most appliances, just not light cooking heaters on). Lesley kindly assisted to get us urgently more firewood and we managed to get th place seemingly hot for the first night. We would have organised our day differently if we had known the place was so cold."

Boat Reflections

2/10 Terrible

"Check-in was confusing, as there was no one at reception on arrival. When I called the provided number, I was instructed to open a locked room that was already occupied by another guest, which was quite concerning. There were also no clear instructions provided for the check-out process. Since my stay, I have been receiving emails stating that payment has not been made. This is incorrect, as I paid in full at the time of booking and have receipts to confirm this."
