Welcome to your dream beachfront getaway at Machans Beach, one of Cairns' closest and most charming coastal communities. This peaceful 3-bedroom home is nestled right on the waterfront, offering an unbeatable location just 15 minutes from the heart of Cairns CBD and Cairns Airport, making it the perfect base to explore Tropical North Queensland while enjoying the serene atmosphere of a true beachside village.
Wake up each morning to the gentle sound of waves and breathtaking views of the Coral Sea. With the beach literally at your doorstep — no roads, no crowds — this is one of the very few absolute beachfront properties in Machans Beach.

The house sleeps up to 6 guests and includes:

The open-plan living area flows out to a beachfront deck where you can enjoy meals, drinks, or simply soak in the views of Machans Beach and the endless ocean. The property is private, quiet, and ideal for couples, families, or small groups wanting a unique beach experience close to Cairns.
Please note: This property is not suitable for small children, as there is no security fence separating the home from direct beach access.
