This rainforest retreat is secluded, yet not remote, and just 20 minutes approx. from the iconic Tropical Paradise of Mission Beach with its 14 islands offshore including Dunk and Bedarra Islands in Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Waters.

Maria Creek, a small riverlike, crystal clear waterway, forms part of the boundary as it flows from rain forested mountain ramparts nearby.

There are lush tropical gardens throughout the 1.01ha property (2.5 acres), including a variety of citrus trees.

Access to this hideaway is via a good sealed road, leading to a 2 km gravel all weather road, through tunnels of rainforest.

Cairns domestic and international airport is approximately 90 minutes north along National Highway 1.

The magnificent 14 km long Mission Beach coastal strip is approximately 20 minutes away with its Clump Point boating harbour, restaurants and tourist precinct.

The following amenities are within a radius of 10 to 20 minutes from the property ….
El Arish Tavern, golf course, post office, shopping centres, local butcher, cafes, El Arish Diggers Museum and Mission Beach. 

The property is off the grid and has a state-of-the-art solar system with storage batteries and a large backup modern diesel generator for emergencies.
