I had a wonderful stay at Half Moon Bay Resort, where I enjoyed clean and comfortable accommodations along with excellent facilities like a great pool and BBQ area. The hosts were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, making my family's experience even better. However, we did encounter a noisy start due to planes flying overhead, which was a bit disappointing at first.

I had a very pleasant stay at the apartments, which featured a lovely pool and all the amenities we needed for a four-day getaway. While the property is situated under the flight path, I found noise to be a non-issue during my visit. On the downside, the area is quite remote, so a car is essential to explore, and the walk to the beach can be a bit daunting in the heat.

For a budget-friendly retreat, this resort is a real gem. The apartments are spacious and well-maintained, providing everything you need for a pleasant stay. The service from Ellen and Rick was impressive and truly made our experience special. However, the location is a bit remote, and getting to Cairns city takes some time, which might not suit everyone.

My stay at Half Moon Bay Resort was fantastic! The apartment was clean and comfortable, equipped with everything we needed for a lovely getaway. The managers, John and Carolynne, were incredibly helpful and made our trip memorable, recommending tours and even helping with transportation. However, it's worth noting that Yorkey's Knob lacks decent restaurant options and some amenities could be improved, like the pool size. Overall, it's great value for money and offers a strong home-away-from-home vibe.
