I had a wonderful stay here in February with my mum. Steve and Robyn are the most generous and thoughtful hosts I think I have ever come across. They picked us up from the airport, provided us with the most amazing breakfasts, helped us arrange our reef trip and dropped us into Cairns to catch the boat, recommended lots of... More

Steve and Robyn have really got it right. Charming, welcoming, immaculate, quiet B&B. Delicious and nutritious breakfast. They were most helpful and kind - so many examples, too numerous to mention here. A special thanks to both, Robyn and Steve! Highly recommended, and I will definitely book again if I am in Cairns.

Undoubtedly The Garden Gate is the best B&B that I have ever stayed in. Steve and Robyn are special people who enjoy sharing their piece of paradise with their guests.

Two couples from California shared this B&B for three nights on our way to catch a cruise ship in Perth. Steve and Robyn may be the best ambassadors Australia has. The B&B is top notch, situated in a quiet neighborhood across from the botanical gardens. The two bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean, a nice patio for that morning coffee... More

The Garden Gate B&B is hands down the best bed & breakfast my fiancee and I have ever stayed at! Despite the record rain during the entire time we were in Cairns and the subsequent decision not to snorkel as a result, we left the city with all smiles and we have Robyn and Steve from The Garden Gate to...

My three kids and I stayed for one night as it was close to the airport and it just looked lovely in the photos. We all wanted to stay longer and for the rest of the trip garden gate became the bench mark for all other properties. The place is beautifully decorated, every detail was thought about, breakfast was divine... More

A fantastic place to stay with wonderful hosts, amazing breakfasts and a beautiful setting in which to eat them! Nothing was too much trouble - Robyn & Steve were even prepared to take us to the airport for a 5.45 am flight!

My husband and I normally prefer to stay in small hotels/inns where you're not required to get too cozy with the staff and/or other travelers. So we arrived with a bit of apprehension about our 1-night stay. WOW -- Garden Gate greatly exceeded our very high standards, and the hosts immediately put us at ease! From the second we pulled...

My partner and I spent a night at The Garden Gate with jonadPerth, whose review appears below. Rather than repeat what jonadPerth had to say, I will simply say that we agree totally with her comments. We do not usually stay at B&Bs, but our experience at The Golden gate will lead us to do so more often in the... More
