The home is suitable for a large family or a group of families wanting to enjoy the beautiful beaches, great fishing and closeness to the Fantome, Pelorus, Palm and Orpheus Islands just off the coast. There are 2 boat ramps from which to launch the boat to explore the great fishing opportunities or to cruise across to the islands and snorkel or dive the reefs surrounding the islands in beautiful clear waters or stop off at Yanks Jetty on Orpheus Island for a picnic and swim around viewing the fish and coral that live under the jetty.

Launching at Dungeness gives you access to the Hinchinbrook Channel or the outer reefs for great fishing or visit Zoe Falls on Hinchinbrook Island and enjoy a cooling swim in the beautiful pool at the bottom of the falls after tracking through tropical rain forest. If this isn't enough, you can enjoy long walks along the soft white sandy beach collecting shells and trinkets.
