Less than 90 minutes from Cairns, but a world away from the noise... 🌊🦀☀️

​You don’t need to spend thousands on flights or travel for hours to get a total end-of-year reset. Just an easy scenic drive south from Cairns brings you straight to the absolute beachfront quiet of Cowley Beach.

​Late spring (October & November) is prime time on the Cassowary Coast:

​🎣 Spring Fishing & Crabbing: Warm water and light sea breezes mean the Barra and Mangrove Jack are active, and conditions are perfect for dropping crab pots or launching straight off the beach.

🏖️ Uncrowded Stretches of Sand: No fighting for beach space or resort crowds—just step straight out your back door onto empty sand with your morning coffee.

🥩 Deck & BBQ Living: Fire up the grill with the catch of the day or fresh local seafood while listening to the waves roll in.

​Skip the expensive holiday traps. Pack the family, the boat, or a couple of mates for an affordable local beach escape before the end-of-year rush hits.

​🗓️ Late October & November weekend and mid-week dates available.

# # 🛠️ Fresh Upgrades for the Ultimate Guest Experience! 🌊

We believe that a great holiday is all about the details. That’s why we spent the weekend rolling up our sleeves and giving the property some fantastic new upgrades to make your next stay even more comfortable, relaxing, and fun!

Here is a look at what’s new:

* **Sweet Dreams Await 🛏️**
We’ve completely upgraded the bedroom suite with stunning, warm mango timber furniture and a new, ultra-soft mattress. Paired with fresh linen, it’s the ultimate setup for a perfect night's sleep after a day in the sun.

* **The Ultimate Cookout Setup 🥩🦀**
We know how much our guests love outdoor dining, so we've leveled up the gear! We installed a high-capacity Heatlie BBQ big enough to feed the entire family in one go, right alongside a heavy-duty crab cooker setup.

* **Fisherman’s Paradise 🐟**
For those heading out on the water, we have added a dedicated fish filleting table down the back of the property, perfectly nestled by the trees so you can prep the catch of the day with ease.

* **Kitchen & Property Refreshes 🍳🏡**
Inside, we’ve fitted a brand-new kitchen range hood for cleaner cooking. Outside, we spent time on extensive yard care and taking care of the little things—like replacing rusty hinges to the shed, pulling sensitive w**d, installing solar lights to light your path to the beach—to ensure everything is completely seamless for your arrival.

We are always looking for ways to improve and provide the best possible experience for our guests, and the work never stops in a beach front property! So whether you're here to relax in the new bed, cook up a feast, or head out for a day of fishing, we can't wait to welcome you to your home away from home!

✨ **Book your next getaway now and come try out the new gear!** ✨

We now have a fish cleaning table! And how good are the surroundings?!

Tomorrows job is to work out where the previous water tap was fed from and then get water down to the table. It's nothing flash, but it'll work a treat 👌
