About this property

Wait-a-While - Family Getaway with Heated Pool

Summary:
Wait-a-While is a family friendly holiday retreat. This generous sized home, with open plan living, and ample space for the family to spread out and relax, is just an 80m stroll down to the peaceful shores of Clifton Beach.

The gardens include a large, salt water pool, heated in the cooler months, and back onto lush tropical rainforest with resident wallabies, for a quiet, uninterrupted stay.

Stroll the beach to Palm Cove or relax by the pool.

The Space:
Ample, open plan living space with a generous living area, media room, and kitchen dining area, all connected together make this home perfect for those family getaways.

Guest Access:
Check in is available until 10pm.

You will have complete private access to the property, grounds and driveway. Only the garage is kept locked for some storage needs.

The Neighborhood:
'Wait-a-While' is only a few minutes walk to Clifton Beach, a quiet, un-spoilt local's beach lined with swaying Palms Trees along the beachfront esplanade. There is a swimming net and a great children's playground, coupled with BBQ facilities right on the beach for all to enjoy under the shade of big palm trees.

This pleasant beach runs right through to Palm Cove Beach offering the best of both beaches, you will have easy access to Palm Cove and its offerings of restaurants and day spas while residing in a quiet beachfront location relatively untouched by too much tourism and over development.

Clifton Beach is only 20 minutes drive away from Cairns City and about 45 minutes driving time from Port Douglas so you are central to everything Cairns has to offer.

Getting Around:
The best way to visit Cairns and the northern beaches is to hire your own vehicle in order to have the freedom to visit the beaches, city and lush rainforest spots. Busses are also available to take you into the city centre or up to Port Douglas

Lovely property. Had some issues, a couple of which were safety concerns re steps, & no non slip mat in slippery bath. Tried to contact owner about a ceiling fan that had come away from the ceiling & didn’t get a reply. TV is in a small children’s area, which for a house that can accommodate 8was very unsustainable. Overall a nice place to stay, but not for 8 people
