ISLAND ADVENTURE HOLIDAY HOUSE

This very large 2 storey Queenslander holiday house has it all. Big enough for 2 or more families to holiday together and share the cost (sleeps max 14). Otherwise, plenty of space for smaller groups to spread out and enjoy. The whole house is air-conditioned & both levels are fully self contained!
Upstairs, it has a large open plan room encompassing a modern kitchen with built in cook top and oven and a great assortment of pots, pans, baking dishes etc. coffee machine, fridge and full freezer. There is a full sized dining table to fit 8 and comfy leather lounge suite to watch tv or movies on the SMART TV (DVD player & soundbar). On the verandah is a large outside setting to seat 8 more. Downstairs is also air-conditioned & features another well equipped kitchen and large upright fridge/freezer plus large dining table and lounge with another SMART tv/dvd/soundbar. NETFLIX & STAN are available for our guests on this TV as well! The large living room leads out to Pool & BBQ area through spacious tri-fold doors.

Free unlimited internet access is available throughout the property for our guests. Mobile phone reception is excellent with most providers, however Telstra works best.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS

Upstairs is the main bedroom with queen bed and fully equipped private ensuite. For those with infants, there is a nursery room off the main bedroom. The 2nd bedroom has a Double decker with double bed below and single up top. The third bedroom has 2 single beds.

LOCATION & ATTRACTIONS

We are located 1 block back from the Pacific Ocean (Cleveland Bay). It's a short stroll to the Beach, Esplanade, Patrolled swimming enclosure, Jetty, Hotel/TAB & Restaurant. Magnificent night views of Townsville glitter across the bay to Picnic Bay Esplanade. Magnetic Island Golf course is in the opposite direction but within walking distance. Public transport is available at regular intervals, otherwise hire a car or bring your own vehicle over on the vehicle ferry. It only takes 45 minutes. The passenger ferry is quicker (25min) Take a cruise to the Great Barrier Reef or snorkel close by.

We had a group of 10 friends stay at this beauty of a home. Short walk from the beach and the pub and everyone was able to have a game of golf as well which was amazing. We absolutely loved staying at this home, highly recommend. Amenities were amazing as well. Thanks Mark and Rosemary! We will definitely stay again in the future x

Wonderful Family Holiday
This fantastic house was everything we hoped. Lots of space for 9 adults, two children under 6 years of age and 1 baby. The swimming pool was well used (although a bit chilly for us) and the tables on the upstairs veranda could easily fit us all. Amenities are as described but you will need to take all your own food requirements, cooking oil, paper towel, condiments, etc as well as laundry powder for the washing machine. We walked to the beach, the Maggie Island Brewery and had a very relaxing 4-night stay. We hope to return one day.

Another weekend in paradise
We had stayed here 16 years ago, and it was a fun time with the family. Having two areas made it great for those that needed some quiet, and downstairs great for my daughter who has FND and needs a wheel chair from time to time. Kids had heaps of room to play.

Flexible spacious house
The house was perfect for two families with separate kitchens and living spaces but big enough for us to all come together. Lovely outlook, bird life, wallabies. Highly recommended house in a great location. Thanks

Great house and location
Great place to stay. Plenty of space, very comfortable bed and home. Can see the owners have put in a lot of work to make it comfortable for guests, highlights was the coffee machine with free coffee and the pool! Keep an eye on pool cleanliness, not sure if it was previous guests or a neighbour but we found some cigarette butts floating in the water. Solved easily with a skim of the pool and the rest of the house made up for it in terms of accommodation and location!

Beautiful spacious house ideal for family getaway
Thank you Mark & Rosemary for the perfect weekend getaway with family & friends. There were 14 adults staying & there was plenty of room. The house is in a great location, walking distance to pub & bus stop. We went to the Stage Door Theatre Restaurant on the Saturday night & had no trouble getting buses to & from the venue back to the house. The place was clean & well equipped. Great communication with Mark & Rosemary before hand & appreciate the earlier check in.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We enjoyed a lovely stay with the whole family, renting both upstairs and downstairs. With the two blow up mattresses there was enough space for everyone. Pool is lovely and access to beach and food is easy. The only draw back we found is the beds are okay, but not the most comfortable. Some of the frames are very squeaky keeping those sharing awake during the night and others are on their way to be those roll into the middle beds. But overall we loved it and would stay again.

Perfect family getaway
We had family friends coming to stay from Tassie and booked this property to our two families (12 people all up) for a few days getaway. It was the ideal place for us - plenty of room, separate living spaces when the kids wanted to do their own thing, everything there that we needed. Wonderful location, great pool and lots of places to sit both inside and out. We would definitely recommend to others.
