About the host

Hosted by Marita D'Arcy

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Marita. Originally from Melbourne, I’ve called Cairns home for 25 years after living in Darwin, Broome and country Queensland. I’m an award-winning mixed media artist and renovator, creating unique tropical spaces since 2006. My son Fyscher, a carpenter, and I created Pandanus House together. My artwork has been exhibited throughout Cairns and selected original pieces displayed in the house are available for purchase during your stay.

I love the diversity of people and pets which bring inspiration to my art and keep daily life more alive as we are creatures of socialisation.
