“Very accommodating & helpful.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2013 via mobile

This was our unexpected stay at this place but we never thought that we will receive such a nice and welcoming service by Julie. It's a 2 bedroom house which you get to stay and you will get breakfast included. They helped us out in every possible way, whenever they are available they asked to drop us in town or... More

“Our favorite B&B of our whole vacation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 March 2013 via mobile

My boyfriend and I stayed at over 10 different accommodations during our 5 week holiday, and Galvin's Edge was our favorite! The value is incredible! You get a huge space, and it is totally private. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating, but not intrusive at all. The pool and garden in the back are spectacular!! The breakfast was very... More

“Our stay at Julie and Jesse's Bed and Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2012

Staying with Julie and Jesse was a wonderful experience. Both are very sweet, caring and knowledgeable about the area. Their accommodations were exceptional. We always had free Wi-Fi and Julie had delicious fresh fruit for us every morning along with our breakfast provided in a very comfortable apartment. They provided transportation whenever possible so getting around was very easy. We... More

“Beautiful stay, with our own tropical backyard and pool!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2012

We found Galvin's Edge on AirBnB, and though the Air site was frustrating, staying at Galvin's Edge was definitely NOT! Julie and Jesse have a bit of paradise tucked away just on the outskirts of Cairns, and our two night stay with my partner, my daughter, and her husband, was just what we needed. Less than 10 minutes from the... More

Gracious hosts Julie and Jesse made our stay at Galvins just like a stay at home. Everything that we could have asked for in a holiday home was available. I cannot forget my first interaction with Julie when I requested for a booking and she refused an advance deposit but confirmed that the booking was reserved for us. A warm... More

“Best Time Ever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2012

Easy to find, easy to set-up, and so very easy to enjoy! The location was great, close to the round about at Edge Hill, where there was a bus stop and numerous fun restaurants. My husband, daughter and I stayed for 5 nights and wished it could have been longer.

How lucky was I to find and stay at Galvin's B&B for 7 nights while doing a course, in a neighboring Cairns suburb.

“Far from the Madding Crowd”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2012

My wife and I were on a RTW trip and stayed in a variety of hotels and B&B's and our criteria for choosing a B&B was that it avoided commercial hustle and bustle, was of good quality and had a more personal feel about it. Galvin's B&B fulfilled all of these criteria. The first impression you have is how well... More

The Galvin's B&B is an excellent place for rest and relaxation after a long trip and exhausting tours! I chose this place for its reasonable price and proximity to the City center. With its classic Queensland architecture, it has a homey feel with its rooms opening to a nice veranda and to a cozy living room facing the pool. The... More
