Guestbook
-------------------------------------------- *Stop your search - you've found your next holiday home. My family and I had a wonderful time in Palm Cove and the apartment was the icing on the cake. The apartment is clean and well furnished with great beds and very nice sized bathrooms. You have a fabulous view of the beautiful pool and the beach and step out of the building and walk 50 steps and you are on the beach. A beautiful place indeed! - Ryan, Melbourne, Aus. Oct 07
----------------------------------------
*Just wanted to say a huge THANKYOU - we had a sensational stay in Palm Cove and the apartment was just fantastic! :-) Even though we checked out at about 10.45am we couldn't leave that beautiful little town... so peaceful and relaxing... and had brunch at the Sebel before walking along the beach in the water back to our car... we were so reluctant to say farewell to Palm Cove! The apartment is located in a great position and is spotlessly clean and with every amenity you could possibly require. We loved our stay and can't recommend the apartment or Palm Cove highly enough - a blissful holiday and we can't wait to come back for more! - Julia - Melbourne. Oct 07
-------------------------------------------
*This apartment at Drift, Palm Cove is very comfortable with a balcony overlooking the large pool area. We had a great stay. The resort has an open planned, casual modern design with timber boardwalk throughout reception, linking the pool area, the retaurant, which faces the beach and shops along the street front. A holiday location you will remember. - Terry Donald, Koogarah, NSW. Nov 08
A MASSIVE THANK YOU - My wife and I had an excellent time in April at your wonderful apartment. Palm Cove is a fantastic location added to which the laid back lifestyle and the truly spacious and well furnished apartment provided a peaceful and restful and very comfortable holiday. We have nothing but praise for Palm Cove and its unspolit and underdeveloped characteristics, a lovely resort. We would also advise visitors to take a hire car over a day or two to explore the breathtaking scenery north along the Captain Cook Highway to Port Douglas and beyond. This was a holiday to remember and we will keep our memories along with hundreds of photographs and share them with friends that are considering doing the same type of trip in the future. Once again a big thank you to you for the use of your wonderful apratment and for the helpful advice that is provided for visitors.
The Peverall's, Liverpool UK ,April 08.
