Accommodation for Medical Professionals Working in Cairns
A little further from work. A world away when you get home.
Working in Cairns for a few weeks or months?
Not every medical professional wants to spend an extended placement in a one-bedroom city apartment. Sunhaven Palm Cove offers a different kind of longer stay — a private, fully equipped beach house where you can genuinely switch off at the end of the day.
Around 25 minutes' drive from Cairns Hospital, Sunhaven may suit locum doctors, visiting specialists and other medical professionals who don't need to be within immediate reach of the hospital and would prefer to make Palm Cove their home while working in Cairns.
Settle Into Sunhaven, Palm Cove
Sunhaven is located in a quiet Palm Cove street, around a five-minute walk from the beach and Esplanade. Cafés, restaurants and bars are close enough to reach on foot, while your private plunge pool and covered outdoor living area give you somewhere to unwind at home.
Sunhaven is a private three-bedroom home designed for comfortable everyday living. You'll have a dedicated workspace, full kitchen and laundry, reliable Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a secure lock-up garage — along with the space to unpack and establish a routine during a longer placement.
Our local professional hosts are on hand throughout your stay. In the unlikely event of a Wi-Fi issue, they can assist with a temporary connectivity solution while the problem is resolved.
Space for the People Who Matter
A longer placement doesn't always mean travelling alone. With three bedrooms and space for up to six guests, Sunhaven gives your partner or family the flexibility to join you for some or all of your stay.
Travelling with a small dog? Sunhaven now welcomes one small, house-trained dog per stay, subject to our pet policy and applicable fee.
Is Sunhaven Right for Your Placement?
Sunhaven won't suit every medical placement. If immediate hospital proximity or frequent on-call attendance is essential, accommodation closer to Cairns Hospital may be more practical.
But if you're looking for a comfortable longer-term base with space, privacy and a life outside work, Palm Cove, a premium location in Cairns’ Northern Beaches, offers something very different.
