KAYAK's top tips for finding Palm Cove holiday rental deals

  • Palm Cove holiday rentals are the ideal choice for visitors planning on heading to the Great Barrier Reef and wanting to find somewhere as a solid base. Palm Cove is only about 2h 50min from the reef and is home to some of the most pristine beaches in North Queensland. Check out beachside properties like Paradise On The Beach Resort or Sarayi Boutique Hotel.
  • For those who want to check out all of the water sports this area has to offer, look at Palm Cove holiday rentals down the road from the jetty, like Marlin Waters Beachfront Apartments or Alassio Beachfront Apartment 302 Palm Cove.
  • Those couples among you that are hoping for a quieter getaway than the bustling sands of Palm Cove Beach might want to book Palm Cove holiday rentals closer to Clifton Beach, like Argentea Beach House. Clifton has previously been voted the cleanest beach in the country and is more well known to locals than tourists.
  • One thing you don't want to miss out on when travelling to this area is the local markets; these generally happen on the first Sunday of every month between April and December. If you're there during that time, check out Palm Cove house rentals or holiday homes around Palm Cove Beach, like Mantra Amphora.
  • If you're in town during the Reef Feast, in October, be aware that the streets will be packed and staying close to the beach could be a hassle. Consider booking your holiday home a little further away from the centre of town and walking to all of the hot spots. A few places to keep in mind are Mango Lagoon Resort & Wellness Spa and Eagle Palms Escape.
  • Holiday rentals in Palm Cove are around 59% more expensive than hotels on average. Search here to compare prices for all accommodation types in Palm Cove.
