We stayed here for 3 nights back in March and would definitely recommend Maggie's guesthouse. We booked 4 nights but due to flooding further down the coast we had to cancel a night and Maggie was more than happy to do this. She recommended and booked us onto a Reef tour as well as organising an early morning taxi to... More

I was looking for a nice B&B for the final part of my trip in Australia that was over New Year's Eve. Lonely Plant said the owner, Maggie, was charming and that the location was nice. I think they must have stayed somewhere else. It's an old, outdated house with a few rooms. The tv didn't work, my room was... More

We were looking forward to staying here as this place is a real 'Queenslander'. We were booked to stay only one night but when we arrived they had messed up another persons booking and we were bumped out. Apparently they tried to email but I never received any email. There was little remorse for the mix up and then they... More

This is an old fashioned place that is a little rough around the edges, but it has charm. Maggie, the owner could not be more helpful. It's about a 20 minute walk into town, along a lovely esplanade. The price is inexpensive for Cairnes.

We spent 2 nights at Maggie's guest house in the large room. What a lot of space! Bedroom, livingroom/kitchen combined, long windowseat facing the ocean, and front and back porches. Effective air con and multiple ceiling fans ensure you'll sleep comfortably. Walk to town along the waterfront, it's beautiful, reminded me of pieces of Waikiki. Maggie gave us two solid... More

I stayed at the geust house for 2 weeks and enjoyed my stay. It is located on the esplanade directly opposite the park and waterfront. There is 2 staff Maggie who runs the desk and Graham who does cleaning, yard and all the odd jobs. Initially my son and i stayed upstairs which is a lovely room with waterfront views.... More

I read other reviews and while I understand where they're coming from, I found them harsh. We stayed for four nights and thought we got what we paid for (knowing that we didn't pay very much). Our room was clean upon arrival - yes it is decorated out of the '70's, but that's clear from the website or a walk... More

I'm not sure what those negative reviews are about as we found this place refreshingly down to earth, cosy, and charming. The balcony with views over the sea a d warm wind blowing is magic when coming from a southern winter. We found the hosts helpful and easy going, and the price is very reasonable indeed. Highly recommended if you... More
