Convenient location close to the YK marina and the beach, unfortunately it's in the flight path of the Cairns airport with very early morning arrival flights particularly annoying.

Fantastic, cute cottage.
Owner was in contact straight away after booking, and had the cottage ready early. Was spotless, really well presented. Quiet street, really comfortable place to stay. The bed was like a cloud! All round, a very positive experience. Will stay again next time I come home. THANKS!!

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay. Comfortable, roomy and clean
We wanted a comfortable place to stay for 10 days near our daughter and her family. Hopefully somewhere our little grandson could come and visit us. Driftaway Villas not only fit the bill but exceeded it! With a great private outdoor area and garden it's ideal for families with children. It's only a short walk to the beach, there's a shopping complex nearby and it's only 15/20 minutes into Cairns or the airport. Highly recommended!
