JDs Tropical stays, hotel in Cairns

JDs Tropical stays is a recently renovated apartment in Cairns where guests can make the most of the garden and barbecue facilities.

Very cute and clean apartment in the back garden of the main house. I really enjoyed the privacy and the convenience of having a full adorable apartment for myself. Jennifer is a wonderful host! Her family and adorable dog are a delight! Everything was very very good! Full size bathroom, kitchen, perfect living and dining area. There is good coffee and tea. If you have a car, this is your ideal place! If you don’t, walking to town it’s about 20 minutes walk. 10 minutes walk to shops, the train and bus station. Uber to town is only $7 if you need to join a tour or are in a rush. I absolutely recommend JDs home! This family is wonderful and happy positive people, and it’s a pleasure to be around them. Thank you Jennifer for all the good advice and help! Hugs, Ana
