Sarayi Boutique Hotel is located opposite a patrolled beach and provides a great starting point for local tours to Cairns, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, which hotel staff can book for you.

The staff went above and beyond to help us and make our stay comfortable and even with a sick bub we loved staying here, the hotel is beautiful in a perfect location and I can't thank the beautiful team enough for their care and kindness ❤️

The apartments include a flat-screen TV, internet connection, CD and DVD player. Each of the units has a bath and is equipped with a generously appointed kitchen with granite bench, oven and microwave. They offer a contemporary decor with designer linens.

We spent 4 nights, family of 8. The staff provided excellent service. We stayed in a 4 bed apartment which was absolutely stunning with amazing views, very peaceful comfortable & well equipped. The beach was very close and in its vicinity there are local shops & restaurants, although I would recommend hiring a car for amazing sights.

    Superb location, few minutes walk to Clifton Beach, more quiet area than Palm Cove, but still just a few minutes drive away. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful. The apartment is very well taken care of and nicely designed, looked like new.

    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 😊

    Property was exceptionally well maintained. Excellent air con which we needed in the heat!! Gorgeous views and pool was wonderful, surrounded by tropical plants. Bed was so comfortable. Staff were really lovely and friendly. Easy to find, door was unlocked with key inside so you were able to have no contact if you choose to. I highly recommend and will definitely be returning on my next trip.
