Carinya - Secluded luxury minutes from the beach

Welcome to Carinya, an Aboriginal word meaning "happy, peaceful home," and we invite you to experience exactly that during your stay. Carinya has been purpose-built for holiday living, offering a unique split-pavilion design with mountain views and a private pool set within a quasi-outdoor area. Nestled in a sought-after location, it’s only a five-minute stroll to the Palm Cove beach and esplanade via a scenic tropical boardwalk, making it the perfect destination for your getaway. The home features a spacious kitchen, air-conditioning throughout, and comfortable bedrooms, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The pavilion-style design splits the house into two interconnected buildings, linked by an undercover outdoor living area that serves as the central hub. Here, you’ll find a refreshing plunge pool, a dining table, and a gas BBQ, all surrounded by lush gardens. Large bi-fold doors seamlessly connect this outdoor haven to the indoor spaces, which include a modern kitchen and a living room with a smart TV and leather couch. An additional cosy seating area adjoins the patio for moments of quiet relaxation. Upstairs in the main pavilion, the master bedroom boasts a king-sized bed, ensuite, walk-in robe, and a private balcony with stunning mountain views. The second pavilion offers a separate living or study area, two additional bedrooms—one with a queen bed and the other with two singles that can be converted into a king upon request—and a bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub. Guests have exclusive access to the entire house, including the garage and private pool. Just a five-minute walk away, a local health club features a 25m lap pool, gym, and sauna, with casual visits starting at $15. Palm Cove itself is a charming beachside village about 30 minutes north of Cairns. Its esplanade is lined with ancient melaleuca trees, creating a serene environment where you can ditch the shoes, opt for a bike over a car, and savor fresh seafood for a sunset barbecue on the beach. Adventurous guests can hire a kayak to explore nearby waters, take a tour to Double Island, or try their luck fishing off the jetty, known for Spanish mackerel, cod, whiting, and more. Please note, this home features a split-pavilion layout designed to create a sense of privacy, space, and natural flow between indoor and outdoor living areas. The configuration can be ideal for families with older children or groups of friends seeking comfort and independence during their stay. However, it may not be suitable for families with very young children due to the distance between the main pavilion and the rear bedrooms. We encourage guests to review the floor plan before booking to ensure the layout suits their needs and travel style. Taking a moment to familiarise yourself with the home’s design will help you enjoy a comfortable, relaxed, and worry-free stay. We also offer the services of Property Manager, our in-house travel agency. Our local experts are ready to assist with booking tours or car rentals, providing honest advice, and helping you plan memorable excursions in Cairns and beyond. Whether it’s creating a perfect itinerary or answering your questions, we’re here to ensure your experience is nothing short of exceptional.
