It provides an oasis of calm with white décor and cream porcelain tiles providing a backdrop for notable Australian artworks and an eclectic mixture of quality modern and 1960’s furnishings. A Pierre Paulin Chair sits beside a Mabo painting in front of an antique Indian rug!
The air-conditioned master suite provides breathtaking views over the swimming pool and Coral Sea. The bedroom leads to the large en-suite shower room with double vanity and separate toilet. A large dressing room completes the master suite with dressing table and ample storage.

Gentle sea breezes waft through a 250m2 open plan living area which flows seamlessly from the large granite-topped kitchen to the living room with its large leather reclining lounge. The home has a stylish indoor dining room, but you are likely to spend most of your time eating on the large patio with panoramic views of the Coral Sea and sparkling pool. As well as the large outdoor eight-seater dining space with gas BBQ, there is also a complimentary outdoor lounge. The whole beachside aspect of the living area opens to the patio providing amazing sea views through bi-fold doors creating the perfect indoor/outdoor living experience.

The kitchen is positioned to enable food preparation while still an integral part of your family in the living area. Laundry facilities are provided.
Tropical landscaped gardens abut a resort-style glass-fenced salt water pool with spa seating & lounge deck. Access to the beach and ocean is just two steps from the open plan deck. As the sun rises you will often see dolphins and pelicans offshore. Watch the children as they play on the sandy beach or in the sparkling pool. Enjoy the wide screen LCD television, Wi-Fi internet access, board games, books and DVDs available to enhance your leisure time. Enjoy a cocktail on the deck as the sunsets over the Coral Sea, then fall asleep to the sound of the lapping waves.
The property owners travel extensively. When in residence the owners are in separate self-contained accommodation on site.
There is plenty of on-street parking in front of the house or off-street parking on the grass verge opposite. The house is very private and not overlooked.
This is a holiday home for those looking for relaxed, beautifully appointed, absolute beachfront living.

Summary: Unusual decor. My time was spent watching sunrise and evening closure from the patio. Amazing to step from the patio to walk the beach. Lotsa relaxed reading and self refection. My favourite event was the daily ‘tide out’ mudflats and looking at passing sea traffic through binoculars.

Summary: Property was very comfortable and had everything we needed, including good spaces to relax in, inside and out. A small note on the crockery set - not ideal design and number for a larger group. (3 dinner plates?) Unfortunately pool was freezing so we couldn’t use it. Would be lovely heated, considering beach is not for swimming and the view when tides out is of mud flats for miles. Location is great if you truly want to escape city hustle and bustle. Very little in town - a servo, pub and cafe. Definitely need own car if you want to explore Cairns and region. Property managers were very responsive to issues that arose; thank you!

Summary: House is outstanding. Machans Beach is a little part of paradise, a quiet area, lovely beach to walk on, great fishing if you want to and blessed with onshore breezes. Owner/ Agent does that little bit extra and we found a small supply of items you tend to forget to bring in the pantry… and we replenished all we used and left a little more for the next occupants. Family ranged from 17 to 79 years and all had a great time.

Summary: Very funky property, full of artwork and collections from the owners many travels. We left the property feeling like we knew them even though we have never met. The large patio right on the ocean was amazing for a relaxing time.

Summary: This property far exceeded our expectations! Plenty of room for the whole family, top notch cleanliness, great pool/spa, linen and towels provided and the amenities amd appliances provided made it feel like our home away from home. The listing and pictures do not do this prepety justice, it's much nicer in reality. Very easy to deal with property managers and responded quickly to our enquiries. Highly recommend this property!
