Guestbook
Thanks for renting me your fantastic apartment. Beautiful surroundings, right next to the beach, lots of lovely restaurants/bars and boutiques, yet close to Cairns for nightclubs. Definitely a luxurious ending to my travels around Australia. Already planning my wedding in Palm Cove! Sophie McLean – Scotland August 2007
Palm Cove was beautiful and your Drift apartment was unbelievable. It felt like we were on our honeymoon! Not only a very spacious and beautifully decorated apartment, but Palm Cove has loads of lovely restaurants and bars. The beach was just like the pictures. A truly amazing vacation ! – Your apartment was definitely the highlight. Thanks. Miss Picket - Midland Texas Sept. 2007
Gorgeous, luxurious accommodation and still big enough for a family of four!! Loved the outdoor Jacuzzi and swimming pool and the white sandy beach was perfect. Exactly what we were looking for. The Babysitting Service meant that my husband and I could enjoy time together as well. Close to Cairns and Kuranda for outback horse riding for the kids (and adults). We hired a car from the hotel and drove up the beautiful coastal road to Port Douglas. Australia was a once in a lifetime trip but we will now definitely be back to Drift within the next 3 years. Thank You, Fiona & Steve. The Woodley family, London – October 2007
Hi Fiona- Just got back from our travels and a big thank you for a lovely stay in your apartment. Everything was beautiful and better than we had expected. The weather was hot and sunny. We were only there for a few days but we had a great time and saw both the great barrier reef and the Atherton table lands. Both highly recommended. Best wishes Jenny Beveridge- February 2008
Hi Fiona, We had a wonderful time in Palm Cove. I think we picked the perfect time of the year to go because the weather was great! The apartment was also wonderful. Our 2 younger kids loved the pool, and my husband and I enjoyed our morning walks along the beautiful beach. Rhonda Dimerack & family USA June 2008
Fiona, We have just returned from Australia and have had a great family holiday. Palm Cove and your apartment was fabulous, Paul, Angie Bates & family July 2008
Fiona Had a great stay at your lovely apartment. Many thanks. We would have no hesitation in recommending it to others and hope one day to return ourselves! Kind regards Adrian and Jill Noye , November 2008
