While visiting Cairns, my partner and I discovered two exemplary places to enjoy our vacation. First, we stayed at Calypso backpacker's resort where the relaxed atmosphere and highly interactive staff made it easy to assuage our travelers' tension. The desire for more privacy, however, led us to our second destination: the lovely Villa Marine. We could not have made a... More

It was June- August 2002 when we were on holiday in Australia. We stayed at Villa Marine in Yorkeys Knob, Cairns. .I booked the place for a week and we extended our stay for 25 days in all. We have stayed much longer in Cairns than any other places in Australia, beacause we were fascinated of the place which has... More

Had a great time here at Villa Marine. The villas have lovely, big rooms. Really nice relaxing outdoor area and a great swimming pool with beautiful surroundings. The staff here are exceptionally friendly and will do anything to make your stay better. There is so much to do in the area, and some great day trip. I would definitely recommend... More

This weekend we decided to head back for a couple of nights to Villa Marine. Villa Marine is self contained. It is a Jewell found in Paradise. Is it so relaxing, peaceful, and like a home away from home. Peter the owner is a top host and nothing ever is too much for him. Surrounded by rain forest, one can... More

Villa Marine has a wonderful tropical environment and only minutes from the beach. The room was clean, comfortable, spacious and most importantly, excellent value for money! The entire resort has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere whether sunbathing by the pool or enjoying a book in the shade of your villa garden. It was very easy to get into the centre... More

Beautiful tropical setting, you could forget about the surrounding properties - and close enough to hear the sea at night when no traffic around. And at Villa Marine the Dawn Chorus is very real! The accommodation we stayed in was spacious, clean, and well kitted out - we cooked for ourselves both evenings (after a very expensive few days in... More

Spent four very nice days at Villa Marine staying in the Rainforest apartment - absolutely beautiful being surrounded by the trees. It was quite a novelty (for Kiwis) to be woken by the 'laughing' of kookaburras and to see two of them on a branch outside our bedroom window one morning. Very spacious, clean and nicely presented unit, full kitchen... More

Our first point of stay here in Cairns. Greeted by the most friendly person you could ever meet - Peter thank you so much for your hospitality and making us feel very welcome. We loved staying here, the gardens are beautiful and tropical, the unit we stayed in was very spacious and clean, providing a complete kitchen was great as... More

my second time at Villa Marine, and a very last minute booking to get away from Cairns for the week end. A great pleasure to spend time chilling on the beach go to to the yacht club for lunch, looking over the Marina. Fantastic service and attention to details, I just feel like home there, relaxed and safe :) Peter... More
