The front yard is the untouched Arthur Bay beach, a preferred snorkelling destination on Magnetic Island in the Great Barrier Reef, a short ferry ride from Townsville. The Bay is surrounded by wooded hills laced with hiking trails, studded by magnificent granite boulders. It is recognizable for its hallmark, much photographed pandanus tree.
Snorkel or fish off the beach in the front yard and try spotting a whale in the winter months from the patio. The view from this patio of sunrise over the Bay is breathtaking as is the moonrise reflecting on the Bay. There is a small creek in the Bay which is a permanent tidal pool, ideal for children to find crabs, hermit crabs and other sea creatures.
The Beach House features a swimming pool, plenty of indoor and outdoor dining space, a unique boulder in the middle of our TV lounging room, gas barbecues and a fully equipped kitchen.
Neighbouring our stunning location is the famous Forts walk. While being a significant part of our history it is a well known walk for koala spotting. There are numerous hiking trails within this area.
