About this property

Whitsunday Heritage Cutters Cottage

The Cane Cutter's Cottage is an idyllic retreat sleeping 2, quiet and peaceful, just 5 minutes away from the hustle of Airlie Beach and a million miles away in ambiance and relaxation. Completely private with its own driveway, you won't even see another house!

Enjoy your own small house, fully equipped with attention to detail, quality linens, pillow choices, loads of towels, a full kitchen, coffee machine, air fryer, plus baby Weber bbq for outdoor dining in balmy tropical nights, with the scents of the frangipani and sounds of the rainforest.

Where else can you watch wallabies while having breakfast and enjoy a luxuriant tropical garden with birds and butterflies, all to yourselves?

The cottage has one bedroom with a Queen bed accomodating 2. A roll-away bed is also available for a child on request/ cost. Infants welcome at no cost with own bedding.

Transport options are available, however while a car isn't essential, there is so much to see around the Whitsundays we do recommend a car rental - it would be a shame to miss out on off-the-beaten-track beach bars and restaurants that we can tell you about, rainforest walks and other interesting places to explore.

Our little award-winning heritage is located on a quiet country property, You have your own private driveway to come and go as you like. And the main shopping centre is just a minute away.

The Cottage is over 115 years old and was fully restored using all the original building materials to create a new kitchen and bathroom. It has recently been featured in a Pan MacMillan book of iconic Australian buildings and is used for photographic shoots and as an event/wedding venue.

About the host

Hosted by Suzette Pelt

Host profile image
We are long term marine-tourism business owners, now semi-retired and enjoying sailing around the world, in past years from Alaska to the Antarctic and continuing a life of adventuring. We love sharing our 6 acres of Land for wildlife property with guests. And letting you know about the best things to do around the Whitsunday region.

Why they chose this property

This cottage was one of the first dwellers in the region. Home to a family, and quite basic (no bathroom in the old days!) rather than see the cottage destroyed, we opted to move it from the cane farm to our property and spend a year completely restoring it, from top to bottom. Adding a bathroom (shower with a twist on the classic bush shower!) and using the original roofing materials to create a modern kitchen it is truly a local classic and a perfect getaway spot.

What makes this property unique

Seclusion, unique, surrounded by garden and bushland, enjoy watching birds and butterflies and maybe some other wildlife.
The Cottage is a home-away-from-home while being a world away from busy Airlie Beach. It's 2 minutes from the main shopping centre, 5 minutes or less to the beach. A range of island and Great Barrier Reef sailing and snorkeling trips depart from Airlie Beach. There's nearby rainforest walking in Conway National Park/Brandy Creek or Honeyeater Trail for Island views. (Medium fitness advised and walking to tropical conditions).
