A classic Magnetic Island weekender, Belisi Haus has been lovingly restored to a family holiday home with updated fittings and furnishings yet still keeping all the original charm. Screened casement windows and louvres allow cool breezes to flow throughout the home. On the warm summer days there is air conditioning throughout. The main area of Belisi Haus has 2 bedrooms with Queen sized beds in each serviced by a shared bathroom. It is fully self contained with a kitchen, laundry and Wifi too. Large doors from the kitchen open to a BBQ courtyard and deck covered by shade sails. Continuing to the rear of the property you will find an outdoor dining area, wood fire pizza oven, and fire pit providing a perfect setting to enjoy the serenity of the quiet garden area shared with native wildlife, or a spot to stargaze on a clear night. Only 245 metres from the front door you will find the protected waters of Geoffrey Bay, home to friendly rock wallabies and the site of a popular snorkel trail with a giant clam and a large number of fish. The popular Alma Bay and Arcadia Hotel are both a short walk away, with live music on the weekends and the world famous Toad Races on Wednesday Nights. If you require accommodation for more than 4 guests, or additional bedrooms please look at booking 'Belisi Haus and Cottage'.
