We are just north of Cairns, in a unique coastal destination situated between The Great Barrier Reef and Rain Forest. The space We are delighted that you have chosen our beach house - “La Flotte" - for your well-earned vacation. We just know that you will fall in love with our special spot in Tropical North Queensland. Through time spent travelling as a family, we discovered two locations, in opposing hemispheres that we were drawn to. Machans Beach, the sleepy beachside fishing village in Tropical North Queensland - and La Flotte, a UNESCO World Heritage seaside village on the French Atlantic island of Il De Re'. We can't be in two places at once - so we have brought some of La Flotte to our house in Machans Beach. Much of the decor, furniture, fittings, linen and artwork have travelled halfway around the world, to find their home at Machans Beach. We hope you enjoy them! Perhaps most fitting of all though, is the constant fleet of vessels, by day and by night, out on the horizon of the Coral Sea to keep you company during your stay here. We know them as La Flotte - or - The Fleet. La Flotte was completed in 2015! La Flotte at Machans Beach has been designed to effectively use passive heating and cooling. Features such as an elevated floor, high ceilings and louvre windows throughout enable this. Most importantly you are located in the ideal position to experience optimal enjoyment from the stunning coastal breeze. In addition to these design features – ceiling fans and reverse cycle air conditioning units are provided for your comfort. Guest access You will have full access to the Wi-Fi internet service. During your stay, you will have access to a fully equipped chef's kitchen. A premium gas BBQ is located on the front deck with an outdoor lounge and dinning space should you wish to enjoy the tropical afternoon breeze. Our crystal blue salt water swimming pool is cleaned and maintained constantly for your enjoyment. You will find the temperature remains wonderfully comfortable year round. When you arrive for your stay – your comfortable beds will be made up for you! Each guest will also be provided with a towel for bathroom use and a towel for pool use outside. During your stay, you will have access to a fully equipped laundry, with large front loader washer, sensor dryer and laundry tub. We hope you enjoy our garden! Depending on the time of the year – you will see our garden take on a distinct character – often attracting various local fauna. If you have one or more cars – you will be able to park on-site. Other things to note Your personal and material security is considered a high priority. We are able to provide you with the highest level of security via an ICT Access Control System and Alarm. After your booking has been confirmed, and just prior to your arrival, you will be issued with a four digit security pin, that is valid for the duration of your stay.

Simply call us and we can send you a new one. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34630000/34622900/34622834/9028e6e8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa Bella Vista - Luxury Beachfront Home near Great Barrier Reef Holloways Beach - Sea view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 10 Exceptional 97 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=34622834&PinnedHotelID=34622834&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57110000/57105100/57105085/09b85ddf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Belle Escapes Beachfront Luxury Home 53 Arlington Clifton Beach Clifton Beach - Sea view - Pool - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 11 reviews £1,115 includes taxes & fees 29 Oct - 30 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=57105085&PinnedHotelID=57105085&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100970000/100967800/100967714/1a027407.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Holloways Beach Haven 4BR - Pool, 300 m to beach Holloways Beach - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=100967714&PinnedHotelID=100967714&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83360000/83359400/83359330/846243a5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Tropical Escape: Beachside Villa with Heated Pool & Modern Comforts Trinity Beach - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=83359330&PinnedHotelID=83359330&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70880000/70874900/70874828/8bb80e9e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bella Ohana Oceanfront Escape Machans Beach - Sea view - Pool - Hot tub - Air conditioning 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=70874828&PinnedHotelID=70874828&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33950000/33943400/33943354/46d74777.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fantastic ocean and beach view holiday house.

I took my partner here for a romantic getaway. The house is perfectly suited for couples and families alike. We woke in the morning to see uninterrupted sunset views then walked along the esplanade spotting dolphins. The SMEG appliances add a nice touch for a great iced coffee after the walk. The local restaurant/hotel is a stone’s throw away and is ideal for lunches and dinner if we decided not to cook. There is also another cafe run by a lovely Scotsman and a general store for all the essentials. We rented a car through Uber Carshare to see other sights including Port Douglas. We didn’t bring our 4 children, but will be back next school holidays as the house has games, separate bed and bathrooms and a pool that is easily supervised on the deck. Sylvia, the host, provided a helpful summary allowing easy keyless access to the property. We can’t wait to return! ##### Scott S.
