For House swap or Rent....

Oak Beach Cottage is ABSOLUTE BEACHFRONT with a private tropical POOL and only 39 paces to the Coral Sea!

Enjoy luxury and stylish accommodation for 2 - 6 Guests.

OBC is a 12 minute drive to the heart of Port Douglas, 20 minutes drive from Palm Cove and only 40 minutes from Cairns International Airport.

Oak Beach is surrounded by lush tropical rainforest and palm trees. The beach is uncrowded and is perfect for swimming, sun bathing, fishing, picnicking, snorkelling.....or just lazing about!

You might be lucky and see dolphins in the Coral Sea.

OBC consists of 3 luxurious bedrooms and 2 stunning bathrooms. The beach house has been created by one of Australia's leading interior Designers and presents with a unique combination of "contemporary colonialism".

The master bedroom has its own king sized bed and large en suite and overlooks the private tropical pool.

The second bedroom also overlooks the tropical gardens and pool. The bed can be configured for two king single beds or as a king sized bed.

The bungalow, separate to the main house, has a queen sized bed and has spectacular views of swaying palm tress and the Coral Sea. The sound of the ocean will gently rock you to sleep each night!

The living and dining areas face the Coral Sea and capture the sea breezes. The French doors on the 'beach side' open out to a wide 'Queensland style' undercover verandah, where you can dine al fresco... or you can relax in the various lounging areas... or walk straight on to the golden sands of the unspoilt beach.

A STUNNING designer kitchen has just been installed and is complete with European appliances and caesarstone bench tops.

Perhaps if 'pool side' is more your thing... you can 'escape' from the ocean and enjoy a cool refreshing swim in the totally private salt water swimming pool.

Or you may want to spread out on the day bed and read a book or open a bottle of wine and enjoy a BBQ....or catch up on a tan.

Whatever you decide to do, you will be mesmerised by the natural beauty of Oak Beach and its surrounds.

It won't take long for you to be totally relaxed and wishing life was always this good!

Depending on how you feel, you can do a lot at OBC, or you can do nothing and simply enjoy the beauty that Oak Beach has to offer.

You can relax in the hammock or one of the many sun lounges, day beds, or simply snooze in one of the luxurious bedrooms.

Or you can walk along Oak Beach, which incidentally is over a kilometre long and marvel at the tropical vegetation growing right up to the shoreline or snorkel off the beach in the clear warm water.

Or if you are feeling more adventurous, Port Douglas is only a 12 minute drive away. Port, as the locals call it, oozes tropical charm and has a unique fishing village feel.

There are numerous shops, cafes, restaurants and bars to explore.

If you are feeling really energetic, you can chose from one of two golf courses in Port or play a game of tennis.

If you are feeling more like a tourist, there are some spectacular destinations to visit and enjoy including;

• A trip out to the world famous Barrier Reef by boat or helicopter…. where you can also snorkel or dive.
• Game Fishing.
• The Daintree Rainforest, where you really feel you have gone back in time!
• A boat cruise on the Daintree.
• A tour of a Sugar Cane Farm and Mill
• Craft markets on Sunday morning at Port Douglas.

• Swim or walk at Mossman Gorge.

• Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary….children love this…especially the ‘Breakfast with the Animals’
