Beachside Tropical Island Paradise in NQ - Rustic Nth facing retreat
Beachside Tropical Paradise on Horseshoe Bay beach. Private and tranquil in the heart and prime position in the village. Live the dream - laidback, barefoot island lifestyle surrounded by your own tropical garden - papaya, mangos, pineapples, avocados, bananas and coconuts and an abundance of natural wildlife. Koalas, possums, butterflies, dolphins, whales, turtles and bird life galore. Magnetic Island is home to and one Australia’s most significant refuges for the adorable Koala marsupial. They live in eucalyptus trees in local backyards and through the the walking national parks as well as in the Koala park and sanctuary.
Aloha is the original 80 year old “red boat-shed” on the edge of the stunning north facing Horseshoe Bay beach on the Coral Sea sitting on prime level landscaped gardens.
Rustic and comfortable relaxed living indoors with large doors opening to the sea facing open-air entertaining and relaxation areas. On Maggie (the island nickname) live like the locals and chill, relax and entertain outdoors. Offering peaceful and casual relaxation in your own private estate yet the activities of the beach and sea at your doorstep. 4 cafes, a convenience store, 5+ restaurants and a Tavern all within 10-100 metres of the property.
Do everything or do nothing - take a dip in the private magnesium plunge tub, or while away the hours fishing, golf, bush-walking, playing boule, relaxing in the hot open-air bath, sleeping in the hammock or barbecuing in your own entertaining garden oasis. Stroll the long sandy beach, swim in the ocean or visit the local shops, bars, restaurants and cafes. Open air Market held fortnightly across the road in the park. The park facilities offer, outdoor tables for take away dining or picnics, a children’s playground or just sitting under the trees watching the boats floating in the bay.
Rent a car or use the extremely convenient frequent island bus service and explore the island, the many bays, beaches and beachside villages. At night Horseshoe Bay offers the most amazing sunsets.
