Testimonials

We had a lovely trip to FNQ - very relaxed and happy with your apartment once again. We had a lovely break with only a couple of days of rain - the heat compensates for the rain though !! We will certainly be visiting FNQ again - this was our 4th trip up - and we will be in touch in the future. Please feel free to email any specials that you have with your properties from time to time. I told my husband last night that all my sarongs are now washed, dried and ironed ready for the next FNQ holiday !!

Hi Hazel, I just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful time in Palm Cove! We were thrilled with our accomodation and we appreciated all the extras including the little Christmas tree which greeted us upon our arrival. My daughter and her boyfriend live in a tiny room in Melbourne so they really enjoyed the spacious apartment, wrap around balcony, pool and the fitness centre. We did all the usual tourist activities but were happy to be able to relax and enjoy the terrific view from the apartment. I appreciated all your suggestions as we rented a car and self catered. Although it was hot, most places have air conditioning and we enjoyed the new experience of celebrating Christmas in the summer. We spent some time in Melbourne and then came home to a raging snowstorm the day after we arrived. We will never forget our amazing trip to "down under" and if we ever get back, we will be sure to look you up. Many thanks and Happy New Year!

We loved Palm Cove - the kids loved the Croc Pool & all the wildlife around. We had everything we needed at hand in the apartment & plenty of room for our group of 9. Great position, great weather & lovely apartment - we'll be back, again !!!

We just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful time at the Blue Cowrie. What a fantastic resort!! The pool was great, the gardens were very nice, the apartment was clean and perfect for all of us. Palm Cove is very wonderful!! Thank you for everything.

We had a lovely relaxing 10 days at Blue Cowrie. Thank you, Hazel for your very comfortable apartment - our 4 year old daughter has had a ball swimming in the pool & having ice-cream treats. Thanks for the helpful hints about what to do for entertainment. We wouldn't have gone to Hartley's if it hadn't been recommended. Who knew a crocodile could become a $40,000 hand bag in NY! We love Palm Cove & will no doubt be back again.

We had a wonderful stay in Palm Cove - the Blue Cowrie accommodation really suited our family of 4, including 1 20 & 17 year old. We will not forget or Far North experience.

We had a wonderful stay in Palm Cove - sunny & hot - just what we needed. Lovely quiet area but with plenty to do - car hire made a big difference & not expensive. Barrier reef trip, croc farm & Port Douglas were all fantastic - thanks for all your help, Hazel.

What a lovely apartment in a great position. We've had a great holiday with our overseas visitors from the UK. Many thanks, Hazel.

We had a very comfortable stay at Blue Cowrie - home away from home. We loved the Gold card extras at the Novotel. Kids enjoyed the crocodile pool & adults loved the sports centre and lap pool. Half price buffet breaky was great too. Thanks so much.

Great holiday, very clean, great facilities - couldn't ask for anything better! We had a very enjoyable time here.

A beautiful & relaxing holiday with a lovely outlook and all necessary accessories. Thanks a lot.

What better place to get away from the southern winter. The beautiful tropical gardens, the fine wining and dining and best of all sharing it with good friends.

We've had a very happy return to Palm Cove and to Blue Cowrie. Lots of golf, shopping and exploring. For art lovers, we recommend the Catholic Cathedral of St Monica in Cairns - a great wonderful surprise awaits you.

Enjoyed another wonderful holiday here, weather great - did all the usual things - shopping, golf etc. Thanks, Hazel - apartment fantastic.

What a fantastic place to stay. It's so well set out, with everything you need in a great complex. The whole family had a ball. If only you could control the weather !!

Back now to a chilly New Zealand at 15 degrees. Had a lovely holiday in Palm Cove and would recommend the Blue Cowrie as a base - the accommodation was excellent.

Thanks Hazel, just to let you know, we thought the apartment & location was great - beach toys & kids' DVDs/books a stroke of genius. We would definitely like to stay there again, probably later in the year work permitting.

We have had a wonderful holiday stay here at Blue Cowrie. The unit is so beautifully laid out with all the convenience of home away from home. Just a gorgeous apartment to stay in. Thank you again

Great place to stay - Blue Cowrie has everything you need - especially lots of champagne glasses. The resort is great & we made good use of the complimentary PCCC Gold card for the lap pool and tennis courts.

The apartment exceeded all expectations and was a very comfortable base from which to enjoy & explore the natural & tourist attractions of the Cairns region. The pool & lush tropical garden made sitting on the balcony enjoying a wine (or 2!!) an even more pleasurable experience. We would not hesitate to recommend to all our southern friends & hope to return to Blue Cowrie again. Thank you !!

Stayed with Dirk & Julie & had the best holiday - great weather and location. Used all resort facilities & felt so comfortable in the apartment.

Had a wonderful time; played golf almost everyday with a choice from Palm Cove, Paradise Palms & Half Moon Bay at Yorkeys Knob. We also had a great trip to the tablelands - don't miss Gallo at Mareeba for delicious cheese and homemade chocs.

Had a heavenly holiday but a week is not enough - we'll stay longer next time. Blue Cowrie is a luxury home from home - everything you need, in a perfect tropical paradise.

Fantastic apartment - great for relaxing on our quiet days & great for sharing - lots of room. We did "the lot", a fun packed week - rafting, reef, quad bikes and the Daintree. Great holiday but alas - all too short.

Hi Hazel, We returned from our Cairns trip last night and have had a wonderful time. I was absolutely delighted with your apartment - it was much more than I had hoped for - the photos do not do it justice. The resort was lovely, but I thought the Spindle block was the best part of it and 229 the best located in the building. It really is huge inside and the veranda is fabulous with the pool on one side and the rainforest on the other side. Having the next door apartment for my brother's family was great, but we did all the communal living in your apartment. Drinks on the balcony overlooking the pool at dusk, is just superb!
