Far North Queensland is a destination within itself, and Palm Cove is the perfect outpost to base yourself to explore all that it has to offer. An easy 25-minute drive from Cairns City, Palm Cove is one of the most loved resort beach towns, it's bounded by the lush tropics of Macalister Range National Park, and its palm-fringed esplanade and patrolled swimming beach graces many a postcard. Combine this with boutique shopping and world-class dining, and you have one destination you will be in no rush to leave.
The best places to explore from Palm Cove:
One of Australia's biggest drawcards, the Great Barrier Reef traverses a whopping 2,300 kilometres and can be seen from outer space. The colourful marine life and reef system can be explored either by boat or up in the air, but our advice is to gear up and dive in with one of the many operators in and around Palm Cove. Quicksilver Group offer a variety of tours that will take you snorkelling, diving or for a cruise amongst the islands.
There is no better way to explore this region than by water. Join a tour or go-it-alone, it is a water wonderland that is just begging to be explored. There is a tonne of options to choose from, but local operators, Palm Cove Water Sports, have several tours to pick from, such as their kayaking and turtle tours, sunrise tour, and kayaking and snorkel tours. You can also hire a kayak (singles or doubles) or paddleboards.
Two-hours north of Palm Cove is the Daintree Rainforest, and it makes for an incredible day-trip. There is so much to do, from Saltwater Crocodiles spotting along Daintree River to hiking the tropical lowland rainforest. Daintree also has Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture in abundance and Cape Tribulation is where the rainforest meets the reef. A picture-perfect sight that you will never want to pull yourself away from. Jump on a tour and soak up natures finest.

This house was perfect for my family, my children & grandchildren. 5 adults, a 4 yr old & a 1 yr old. We stayed in the house for 2 weeks & it was spacious & comfortable.

Lovely well equiped home in peaceful lush surroundings. We enjoyed our stay greatly. All the facilities you could need with a pleasant walk to the esplanade}
{Zacker Family - April 2023
The property had all the cooking and kitchen equipment needed for a comforable stay. The location is a quiet area within in a short walk to the main street. Aircon and fans were great during the heat we experienced while staying and the kids made good use of the pool the whole trip. Would recommend to young families. Thank you for having us}

{Gough Family - August 2020}
"We had a wonderful stay at castaway`s - we just wish it was longer! It's a private and very well-equipped home, perfect a relaxing getaway for a family or group of friends. The house wraps around the heated pool, which adjoins two outdoor entertaining areas. There is a boardwalk nearby that cuts through to the beach and restaurants, making the location very convenient. We'll be back!"
{Peterson- Jones Family - September 2020}
"Such a beautiful house, perfect for a big family. Check in and check out procedure was super smooth. Nice quiet location, about a 10 minute walk to the Main Street in Palm Cove. Beautifully clean. The pool located in the center of the property is amazing and perfect for little children."
{Brand- Family - November 2020}
"This house exceeded our expectations and was excellent. Would highly recommend to family/business colleagues."
{Wethmar Family - January 2019
"Underforgettable family holiday. We spent 2 weeks in paradise, the house is amazing and has EVERYTHING you can think of appliance wise and so awesome for families with small children. Even a toy cupboard, and kids DVD's. Baby high chair, extra stroller in the garage, even steps at the loo for kids potty training. a trunk full of inflattables for the pool, where you spent most of your time anyway. Hosts where quick to respond and help with anything needed. Great stay all round and Palm Cove such a beautiful little sea side town. Will be back."}
{Jaworski Family - March 2019
"Great location as it is close enough to Port Douglas to get to rainforest and reef in 40 min or just a 5 min walk to Palm Cove beach and Esplanade with a wide selection of great restaurants. The house had the perfect amount of space to enjoy time with my family. The Weber bbq was an added bonus! The pool was the perfect temperature and the master bed and bath was spectacular! We would highly recommend staying and would love to come back some day." }
{Naza Family - March 2019

{Kennedy Family - November 2019
"Well organised place to stay, they have thought of everything you may need including a cupboard full of toys and games.." }
{Stricker Family - November, 2019
"This place is fantastic!!! It is bright and beautiful with lovely outdoor space and a pool that is perfect for using at all times of day. We enjoyed the outdoor space for early morning coffee time while we tried to decide what birds where in the trees. We also enjoyed the time in the afternoons after our excursions. The kitchen had all the things we needed or wanted and plenty of dishes, pans, cooking utensils, etc. Although it only has two bathrooms, it has the guest bathroom toilet separate from the shower/tub and sink. That made mornings with six people easier to accomplish. It's proximity to the beach, shops, and grocery shopping were incredibly convenient. We even made friends with the neighbors who gave us some homemade treats. All the people we encountered in the area were friendly and the city was easy to navigate but not too busy. I wish we could live here full time!!! We loved it!!" }
{Burns Family - May 2018
"11 out of 10 - Brilliant! Thank you...... Everything we could need and more."}
Spradbury Family - May 2018
"Beautiful property and loved our stay. Great for travelling with kids as provided portacot, high chair, toys and games cupboard, pool toys. Pool is heated to 28 degrees which in winter was a bit cool at first getting in but nice once you were in. Lovely walk down to the beach and the local area is very well maintained. Lots of lovely cafes and restaurants close by. Property was clean, quiet and relaxing. "
{Sullivan Family - July 2018
"We absolutely love this house. Would be number one choice in Palm Cove on future stays. The well stocked kitchen (plates/utensils) made it feel like a home away from home."}
{Kirkwood Family - August 2018
"We had such a great time at Castaways! The house was spacious and clean, and everything necessary for a relaxing time away was provided. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking/dining implements which made home cooked meals easy. Our kids LOVED the pool and it was so easy to keep an eye on them due to the brilliant layout of the house being wrapped around the pool. Another notable point is the privacy - the house is tucked away with an open grassy area directly behind - so quiet and peaceful. The short walk to the beach through the back streets and the "jungle" was very manageable for our 9yo and 4yo. And the passion-fruits from the vine out the back were delicious! We'll definitely be back!" }
{Monks Family - September, 2018

{O'Loughlin Family - November 2018
"Even better in person!" }
{Warry Family - October 2017:
" I stayed in the property over the long weekend, it's a modern, beautiful and spacious house with everything that you need for an enjoyable stay. Check in and out was a breeze, with the keys being collected from a different location not far from the property. The house was very clean. Bedrooms are spacious, all with air conditioners and fans, bathrooms are luxurious, and kitchen is perfect, fully equipped with all that you need. The outdoor living area of the house was probably the highlight ....... Two undercover areas to relax in with neighbours only on one side, with a grassed and treed area at the back, was peaceful and enjoyable. Overall a great home, that would suit a large family or multiple couples, looking for a luxurious getaway."}
{Zughbi Family - November 2017:
" Beautiful home in a fabulous location. The gardens in the surrounding streets are amazing and so well kept. The backyard of this property was also very lovely with both dining and lounge outdoor spaces, both paved and with fans. The pool was very clean and half shaded by the afternoon. The interior was lovely and clean, beds were comfy and clean. We would recommend this house to stay in. In terms of location it was perfect. Although it's not on the beach it was only 6 min walk to the beach. Close enough for convenience but far enough away to be quiet. Palm Cove is very calm and sophisticated. Very relaxing holiday ! " }
{Patterson-Kane Family - December 2017:
" While the photos are great, they don't do this house justice. It was fantastic! It felt luxuriously appointed and at the same time very family friendly - leather couches, tiles, low-maintenance garden, etc. The kitchen, master bedroom, ensuite and outdoor gazebo were particularly lovely spaces. There were many thoughtful details which we really appreciated, such as pool & beach toys, a games and toy cupboard and a step in the bathroom for small children, a stroller and many other items. An excellent stay." }
