About this house rental

Summary:

Wake to ocean breezes in this quirky beachfront dome near Trinity Beach. Designed for a memorable tropical escape, the unique igloo-style stay blends laid-back coastal charm with a shared pool and easy access to the shoreline. Inside, enjoy air conditioning, a well-equipped kitchen, and a light-filled living area beneath the dome’s curved interiors. Spend your days exploring nearby cafés, beachfront dining, and the stunning coastline before returning to a comfortable retreat with free parking.



The Space:

Set directly opposite the shoreline, this distinctive dome stay offers a relaxed tropical atmosphere with a playful design that makes every stay feel a little different. The curved interiors and compact layout create a cosy retreat for couples, solo travellers, or small families wanting easy access to Trinity Beach and the surrounding coastline. Positioned around a striking octagonal swimming pool, the property invites guests to slow down, cool off between beach visits, and enjoy the laid-back rhythm of beachfront living.



Inside, the open-plan living area is equipped with air conditioning and WiFi, providing a comfortable place to unwind after a day exploring Cairns and the northern beaches. The kitchen includes the essentials needed for easy holiday meals, while the nearby dining space creates a casual setting for breakfast before the beach or relaxed evenings indoors. Natural light filters through the dome’s unique shape, adding to the bright and breezy coastal feel throughout the stay.



The bedroom includes a queen bed dressed with professionally laundered hotel-quality linen for a restful night’s sleep. Above the kitchen, a cosy loft space offers an additional double bed accessed by ladder-style stairs, creating a fun setup for children or adventurous guests. Please note the loft may not be suitable for guests with mobility concerns. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower, along with fresh bath towels, pool towels, and complimentary starter amenities for added convenience.



Guests also have access to a shared coin-operated laundry onsite behind Dome 4, with machines operated using $2 coins for added convenience during longer stays. Free parking is included, making it easy to explore the nearby cafés, restaurants, playgrounds, and attractions of Trinity Beach, while Cairns CBD and the airport remain within an easy drive.



Please note that this property does not have 2 separate bedrooms. It has one bedroom, with the second bed being accessed by stairs to a loft bed above the kitchen.



Guest Access:

During your stay, you and your group will have the entire dome to yourselves, along with shared access to the pool. Please make yourselves at home!



The Neighborhood:

Trinity Beach offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere with palm-lined shores, beachfront cafés, and casual dining all within easy walking distance. Spend your mornings strolling along the esplanade, swimming at the patrolled beach, or enjoying coffee by the water before settling into oceanfront dining at local favourites including L’Unico Trattoria Italiano, Trinity Beach Tavern, Tuk Tuk By The Sea, and Il Chiosco. Nearby parks and playgrounds add to the easygoing beachside feel, while scenic coastal drives, reef tours, and rainforest day trips make exploring Tropical North Queensland effortless. Cairns Airport is approximately a 21-minute drive away.



Getting Around:

A car is definitely the easiest and most convenient way to get around, but the bus station is nearby. Several guests have stayed using only public transportation and found it easy to get around, but a bit time-consuming. Getting to the city by bus takes about 45 minutes. Another option is arranging a pickup, which is available through several tour operators. There is an additional charge for pick-ups, but it is usually cheaper than car hire.



There are no city buses from the Airport. If you are not renting a car, I suggest getting a taxi. It will cost around $55 and take approximately 25 minutes. There are a few shuttle buses, but if you have 2 people, it is around the same cost as a taxi, and you may have to make several stops. A shuttle bus is only cheaper if you are 1 person travelling.



Other Things to Note:

Please read and respect the house rules. This is very much appreciated, thank you! Before your arrival, we will also share a house guide that contains instructions on how to access the property, use certain appliances, and anything else you may need to know.

Everything you need all in a peaceful location. We wanted to stay a bit out of town and make the most of the beach and this place was absolutely perfect. Just a short stroll to the beach each morning and only about 25 minutes drive into Cairns CBD. We will absolutely be back to stay again.

Great location Good communication with manager Could update beds
6 / 10Average·Dec 2024
What a shame. We arrived and the property hadn’t been cleaned. I rang the property manager who was very apologetic and confirmed the cleaner was sick and didn’t bother to tell anyone. She organised for the property to be cleaned urgently and offered to reimburse us for a couple of drinks as we were nearby having a drink so we weren’t in their way. We came back and when I went to bed I discovered they had only made one bed up, the main bed and the bed I was meant to sleep on was just a bare mattress. I messaged the host advising them of this. The response was ‘you booked for two people so the cleaner just made one bed up’. It was a trip for my Mum and I. I purposely booked a property with two queen beds. They came the next morning and made the second bed up for me but not after a night with no mattress protector, sheets or pillow cases. I didn’t care about the original clean not happening as things happen and it was resolved quickly but not having a made up bed to sleep on was very disappointing and I certainly wasn’t going to let my Mum sleep on it. I wasn’t going to send the host our receipt for the drinks she’d offered to reimburse but after that I did. Still no response or reimbursement.
