Our comfortable home is located in a scenic, rural area on the Far North Queensland tropical coast. The house is set out all on one level, with a modern, well equipped kitchen, a dining room, large lounge/living room, a large bathroom with a bath and shower, plus 4 bedrooms and an office/study, with wireless internet available.
One of our favourite spots is the outdoor paved & covered area, where you can relax, sit back and enjoy our colourful tropical garden; as well as watching the local wildlife; including lots of native birds, butterflies and sometimes wallabies. It is a great place for a barbeque and or a meal/drink with friends.
The closest town to us is Innisfail, which is 10 minutes away by car. Innisfail is an attractive town with Art Deco buildings and a wide range of services and facilities including; three supermarkets, cafe's, coffee shops and a variety of specialty stores, a public swimming pool, library plus public playgrounds and parks. A range of sporting and recreational activities are available; such as a small golf course, tennis courts, pony club, rowing club, gyms, cricket and football fields; as well as walks, bicycle paths.
We are a 1 hour drive South of Cairns and about 50 minutes drive North from Mission Beach, both of which offer easy access to the Great Barrier Reef with snorkelling, swimming, scuba diving etc. In 10 to 20 minutes by car, we can reach either a lovely beach or walk in some beautiful tropical rainforest.
You can leave your warm, winter woolies behind, as our winter here is lovely, with temperatures generally around 24 to 27 degrees Centigrade with lovely clear, blue skies!
