Having read the reviews from Trip Advisor I booked for me and my partner to stay at the Garden Gate at the time of the Solar Eclipse in Nov 2012. The ensuite room had already been booked, so we stayed in the Queen- sized bedded room with a private bathroom which was lovely. We stayed for 6 nights and had... More

Robyn and Steve are amazing hosts and thought of everything. I am so sorry it has taken me so long to write this review, we visited in May 2011. We only stayed 3 nights but had an amazing time, fresh brownies, airport pick-up, bicycles to borrow, stunning room, fresh local produce breakfast. I wish we stayed longer and of all... More

We stayed at The Garden Gate in May 2012. Robyn and Steve are very gracious hosts and made us feel at home. The accommodations were fabulous with special touches like port and chocolate for an evening nightcap and homemade breakfast on the garden patio. We have keep in touch with Robyn and Steve, hope to return their hospitality when they... More

Spent three nights with Robyn and Steve and they were fantastic hosts. The breakfasts were a delight on the eye as well as the taste buds and the room was delightful. I want their bathroom I wish I could have taken it home. They were so kind to us and helped us when we had to change our plans due... More

Really a wonderful place to stay. One of these very few B&Bs which, once you get there, it is even better than the great reviews you read on Trip Advisor about it. Robyn and Steve are a lovely couple which will do everything to make you enjoy your stay, and they keep surprising you while you are there. Excellent breakfast... More

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful B&B! The room is very comfortable and it was amazing to sit on the nice patio in the beautiful tropic garden. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding. But the best part is the welcome and helpful advice of Robyn and Steve. They are wonderful and really made our visit to Cairns special and... More

This is truly a wonderful place to stay. Robyn and Steve are warm, outgoing people who enjoy having guests. The en suite room is large, bright and spotless. Great bathroom with every thing you could ever want. Breakfast were great and we don't even have the full cooked variety..it was a wee bit different every day and it never seemed... More

Difficult to say anything that hasn't already been said. We've had a wonderful relaxed time here, and the breakfasts are exceptional. Robyn and Steve are a delightful couple, extremely helpful and informative. So many people have tried to put us off Cairns, and yes, down on the front I can sort of see why, felt a tad old! However, this... More

With only two rooms to rent, Robyn and Steve truly get a chance to meet all of their guests. We've stayed in plenty of other nice B & Bs but this one was quite special. Robyn and Steve are great. You don't have to leave the neighborhood for dinner--you can walk. (We tried El Mundo Tapas, Linga Longa, and the... More

We would thoroughly recommend this B and B. The hosts could not have been more welcoming and helpful with great local knowledge and advice. They collected us from the airport and returned us there at the end of our 3 night stay. Cannot be faulted.
