Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Freshwater is a quiet established residential suburb nestled below the rainforest hillsides of the Mt Whitfield Conservation Park. It has a number of small local parks with children's playgrounds, tennis courts and small shopping centre with convenience store, French bakery, butcher, post office, kebab take away and hairdresser. Its special quality is its location, with easy 15mins access to the Cairns CBD, the beach communities north of Cairns, and rainforest with beautiful creeks for swimming. Freshwater also has a train station where most tourists catch the heritage train to Kuranda on the Atherton Tablelands. Cairns itself is known internationally for its easy access to the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics Rainforest.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

The Great Barrier Reef provides excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities. Green Island and Fitzroy Island, located just off Cairns also have accommodation. The famous Daintree rainforest is only two hours north of Cairns with Port Douglas and Mossman Gorge to visit along the way. The Atherton Tablelands just to the west of Cairns is a rural agricultural area which provides a cool respite in summer months and has a wide range of outdoor activities and local food products to enjoy.
