Driftaway Holiday Villas

Driftaway Holiday Villas is a small set of self-contained one and three bedroom villas in Yorkeys Knob, north of Cairns, where every villa is advertised as pet-friendly and pets stay free - a rare combination on the Cairns beaches.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcome in all villas, generally up to two pets per booking, at no extra charge. Each villa has a private backyard and outdoor entertaining area, which does the heavy lifting for dogs that need to stretch out. Size and breed limits are not published, so contact the property directly before booking to confirm your dog fits the rules.

The place. A small operation with only a handful of reviews, so expect a simple self-catering villa rather than a resort: a kitchen, your own outdoor space and quiet residential streets around you.

Location and nearby. Yorkeys Knob Beach is close for on-lead walks - it is crocodile country, so keep dogs clear of the water's edge and creek mouths. For eating out, hidden@yorkeys welcomes dogs in its garden on Sims Esplanade, and Memories Cafe covers breakfast on Varley Street.

Confirm the pet arrangement, villa availability and current rates directly with the property before you book, as online listings are thin and details may have changed. Best for self-sufficient travellers whose dog values a private yard over frills.
