About this property

The Ferns Villa- Luxurious Ocean View Retreat at Clifton Beach with Private Pool and Ocean Views

Perched above Clifton Beach on two private acres of lush tropical rainforest, The Fern Villa offers breathtaking panoramic views across the Coral Sea to iconic Green Island. From spectacular sunrises over the water to glowing sunsets on the horizon, the ever-changing ocean and rainforest backdrop creates an unforgettable setting.

This elevated coastal retreat combines total privacy with relaxed luxury, just minutes from Clifton Beach and a short drive to Cairns.

The spacious home features open-plan living flowing onto a large entertaining terrace, a gourmet kitchen with premium appliances, and five beautifully appointed bedrooms including a luxurious master suite with ocean-view balcony.

Guests enjoy exclusive access to the entire property, including a private driveway, lock-up garage, internal laundry, and multiple indoor and outdoor living areas. Outside, unwind by the sparkling pool surrounded by tropical greenery or enjoy sunset drinks overlooking the sea.

For something unique, the villa also features a private underground theatre and games room with surround sound, lounge seating, table tennis and Xbox — perfect for movie nights or family fun.

A rare rainforest-meets-ocean escape designed for unforgettable stays.

Family Holiday

Overall, the property was quite good... and large! I would say it would be well suited to a couple of families or several couples. Nestled on the side of a hill and surrounded by lush vegetation, it had the feel of a Spanish villa. About 25 mins out of Cairns but close to eateries in Palm Cove and Trinity Beach. A couple of minor issues which were addressed and sorted quickly by the property manager.
