Retreat for Sale

NOTE:

The Owners are no longer operating the B & B due to family reasons and the property is now offered for sale at $795,000 as a residential property. The furniture, plant and equipment is not included in the reduced sale price.  

Details and information below refer to the operation of the B & B prior to recent changes and price reduction.

This previously operating 4 star luxury, self-contained bed and breakfast retreat is located in the heart of the Atherton Tablelands on the Cairns Highlands only an hour or so drive from Cairns. 

Guests were offered a unique opportunity to experience the seclusion and privacy of self-contained luxury cottage style accommodation combined with all the warmth and hospitality of a traditional B & B.

Each of the three self-contained, individually themed cottage-style suites have been positioned for maximum privacy.  Guests were able to relax on their private decks and enjoy the 5 acres of unique award winning gardens offering an abundance of birdlife and wildlife with beautiful views of the Atherton Tablelands.

Attention to detail with all the extras were enjoyed by guests including daily country breakfast hamper, bath robes, toiletries, port and chocolates, undercover parking, TV, DVD/CD system and fully equipped kitchen.  Guests could also enjoy curling up by the cosy log fire in the games room, playing tennis, or recline in the luxurious ambience of the heated hydrotherapy spa.

The facilities of this property far surpass many bed & breakfast retreats and would be ideal for a group of friends or family to get away for a relaxing break.  The Ice-O-Bar provides a large entertaining area where groups can relax in comfort.  A gas BBQ was also made available and a large outdoor setting could easily seat 10 adults comfortably.
