“We had the pleasure to stay at this most wonderful secluded home in Cairns as part of a year long home exchange around Australia & New Zealand in 2012/13. When we say secluded, the house is surrounded by the most wonderful gardens, and at the same time neighbours on all sides of us. The house is so comfortable and relaxing, it was like living in our own little piece of heaven. Both Kevin and Lorraine are so helpful and cheerful, it was a pleasure home exchanging with them. Their home is just outside Cairns at Lake Placid and we have to say it was a great location and base for traveling around, the Tableland, Daintree rainforests including the Skyline Rainforest Cableway and the Kuranda Train which can been seen meandering through the forest and above the treetops from the house. This area is just full of wonderful sites to visit and lovely for walking along the Barron Gorges, just mins up the road from the house, the rivers, mountains and lakes and the beaches are also beautiful for a relaxing day. As for the Great Barrier Reef, well this was the highlight for us. Well worth the visit and we highly recommend this home for a wonderful experience and holiday. You won't find anywhere better for the beautiful Waterfalls on the Tablelands, the rainforests in the Daintrees and the diving on the Great Barrier Reef. Our only regret was that we only stayed for two weeks as there is so much to see and do in this area.”
