A Great Spacious Beach House - A home away from home
We had a great memorable experience at the Great Northern Beach House at 67 Sims Esplanade Yorkeys Knob. The beachfront house is clean tidy and spacious enough to accommodate 11 people. The host Sylvia and her Partner were too good, accommodating and helpful to make our stay comfortable and memorable in Cairns. If you are a large family we definitely recommend a stay here when visiting Cairns We will surely come back again and enjoy Sylvia’s warm hospitality Nabeel & family

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. Sylvia was very responsive to questions
Yorkeys Knob is a quiet residential area right on the water. It was conveniently located to all the sights we wanted to see and do while in Queensland. The 10-06 cafe was a cute place within walking distance. Sylvia was very responsive to our requests.

Perfect beach house
We loved this place and Yorkey’s Knob beach. The house is well set up and perfect for a relaxed beach holiday. We decided not to rent a car and used a mixture of taxis and buses to get around. The beach is beautiful - very clean and scenic with a flagged swimming area just in front of the house.

Yorky's Knob is a beautiful, low key, tropical environs close to the Skyrail and other attractions, as well as a major shopping centre at Smithfield, The sandy beach, just across the Esplanade and though tropical forest coastal buffer, is very beautiful with stunning views of the coast. Two children's playgrounds a short distance away were helpful to burn of some younger children's energy and the outdoor cafe just a block away was a plus for children's ice-creams. The house is a real old-time beach-house designed to capture the tropical sea breezes. The covered deck was a standout place for our extended family to enjoy many happy times together, and the big back yard was a great place for the children to play. Sylvia, the owner and host, was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any needs. Our extended family, from grandparents to grandchildren all had a most enjoyable stay.
