Perfect little spot. Loved walking down the beachfront and through little bush walk to Palm Cove each morning to get a coffee (about 1hour walk but lovely, especially in the morning at sunrise or nighfall). Great location around the corner from the beach, restaurant, and tennis court next door. On main bus route (daily pass for Zone 5 is $9.60AUD) so you can easily access the local Coles supermarket and shopping centre, cafes, restaurants and swimming spots down at Palm Cove and across to the next bay at Trinity Beach (would recomend Trinity Beach spot as it is semi shaded in the afternoon). Parking on-site or free street parking all around. The apartment was spacious, clean, comfortable with a nice bed, crisp white linen and towels, and well stocked full kitchen - has everything you need. Would recommend the bottom floor so you can extend out onto the back paint and garden. Staff lovely, no fuss and let you get on with things.

When I visited, it was stinger season (jellyfish, from November-April) so there were no netted safe ocean swimming spots near by. There is one 15min walk north up the bay, but it is only open on weekends. Need to travel to the lifeguarded netted spots at Palm Cove or Trinity Beach to swim. Can easily access if you have a car (plentiful free parking in both spots) or via bus. Can also walk to Palm Cove, but would not recommend in mid-day heat as it is a 1 hour walk - only in early morning or night when it is cooler.

fantastic location if you want to be near the beach - 30 second walk. Linda the manager was so lovely and very accommodating. there are some permanent residents here, and they were all lovely as well. we probably had the most basic unit (no. 8). it was a little dated but was excellent value for money and had everything we needed including full kitchen, 2x air con, washer/dryer, brooms mops etc. lovely pool with shade also.

can’t fault it. although would have enjoyed a cigarette on the balcony (not allowed - although you can smoke at the communal area near the bbq).

We had an excellent experience staying at Clifton Sands Holiday Units and will be back. This applies right from the arrival when we got the key to the apartment at the reception. Here sits Linda, who is very helpful in answering all sorts of questions and is service-minded. The apartment is the right size, with a super kitchen and a nice balcony. The apartment is close to the beach, shopping facilities, cafes, and restaurants.

The one bedroom is large with a lovely deck off the lounge. This has sea views but sadly there is a 4 floor construction just starting which ill cut off the sea view. The kitchen has plenty of appliances and things like gladwrap etc. I liked that any food you have to leave behind is donated to the homeless shelter. There are 2 air-conditioning units ..one in the lounge and the 2nd in the bedroom. We were on the top floor so got the sea breezes. Linda at reception was lovely to deal with. Happy to recommend this accommodation..it is great value for money.

The location was great for us. It was quiet but within walking distance to Palm Cove if we wanted. Everything we needed, was within walking distance.

The only thing I would say, is the bathroom Floors were not very clean and hope the cleaners are not pulling the wool over the lovely land Lords eyes as she was absolutely wonderful.

I liked everything about the apartment. It has kind of a dutch vibe.. its very comfy. The location is great, I recommend to rent a car to see Daintree and the south. You find a lot of flyers for daytrips you can also ask Linda for any recommendations. She suggestet Seastar for a snorkel trip to the reef, and it was the best divingtrip i had. :)

The location and price for this area is awesome! Excellent place to stay and close to everything. The apartment was very clean and provided us with everything that we needed. Really enjoyed staying here and shall again.

Nothing could have been done better. The manager was extremely nice and the other guests very friendly. Probably the only thing that may dampen any future experience is the construction that is happening next door. Hopefully it will be a lovely venue and not block some sea views from the top balconies.

The place was immaculate and spotless. It is conveniently located close to the beach. Linda, the host, has been incredibly kind and helpful. She helped me to organize few activities as there was a disruption of the usual options as a result of the cyclone. I felt like at home as her knowledge of Italian is stunning.

Two minutes walk from stunning Clifton Beach, these spacious apartments have all the amenities you need to enjoy a short or long-term stay. There's a lovely little pool, BBQ area, and the owner Linda is both helpful and friendly. A jug of cold water in the fridge on arrival would be a nice touch for future guests 😊

The apartment we stayed in was in need of a lick of paint, although for Clifton Beach the room rate of $125/night was great value for money.

Very nice apartment equipped with everything you need for a nice long stay: full kitchen with all the utensils to cook a nice meal for a family, big fridge, washer and dryer, sofa bed, big shower, A/C, balcony, etc. Very clean apartment and common areas, very quiet place and surroundings, just one block from the beach. the swimming pool is nice! Linda was extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back!

Only downside is the Wi-Fi which doesn’t work properly, the TV will only show national channels because it doesn’t connect to Wi-Fi. We didn’t need it though as there are plenty of things to do around to keep us busy.
