Summary:

The Space:
The Beach House is unique, family, holiday home and is the sole property on stunning Arthur Bay. This home commands absolute beachfront and not a neighbour in sight. You will believe you have found paradise and it is all yours! The perfect location to share with family and enjoy a holiday to talk about for years to come.
The Beach House is the sole property on stunning Arthur Bay. Pristine oceanfront surrounded by nature with a beachfront on the Great Barrier Reef.
As the home sits proudly within the boundaries of Queensland Marine Park and National Park the number of guests enjoying this holiday home is only the number of registered guests staying.
Due to the location, the check in time for this home is from 3pm.
Guests experience true relaxation in this iconic home sharing a backyard with koalas, wallabies and countless bird species. The Beach House is often visited by kookaburras and lorikeets and in the evening wallabies and possums. The front yard is the untouched Arthur Bay beach, a preferred snorkelling destination on Magnetic Island in the Great Barrier Reef, a short ferry ride from Townsville. The Bay is surrounded by wooded hills laced with hiking trails, studded by magnificent granite boulders. It is recognizable for its hallmark, much photographed pandanus tree.
Snorkel or fish off the beach in the front yard and try spotting a whale in the winter months from the patio. The view from this patio of sunrise over the Bay is breathtaking as is the moonrise reflecting on the Bay. There is a small creek in the Bay which is a permanent tidal pool, ideal for children to find crabs, hermit crabs and other sea creatures.
The Beach House features a swimming pool, plenty of indoor and outdoor dining space, a unique boulder in the middle of our TV lounging room, gas barbecues and a fully equipped kitchen.
Neighbouring our stunning location is the famous Forts walk. While being a significant part of our history it is a well known walk for koala spotting. There are numerous hiking trails within this area. A short drive from home will have you near local shops, cafes, supermarket, restaurants and of course other attractions Magnetic Island has to offer. The access drive to Arthur Bay is best tackled in a SUV or 4 WD. We can certainly explain this upon check in or during the booking process.
2 bedrooms in the Beach House feature king size beds and 2 feature queen size beds. In addition for any young children there is a set of bunk beds and a travel cot which are available upon request with additional charges.

Very relaxing. Easy to book.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2018
My family and I were lucky enough to stay at The Beachhouse in early November 2018. The drive around Magnetic Bay and down to Arthur Bay is truly spectacular. The house itself is huge and it is tucked away in the bushland beautifully. Our children were very excited to find the large granite rock that remains as a feature in the downstairs cinema room. The house is two story with many rooms and bathrooms and a very nice swimming pool It was a hot day, but the house is air conditioned so felt very comfortable. We cooked a barbeque on the balcony on our first night, enjoying the beach view, beautiful bushland surroundings and magical star filled sky.
Arthur Bay itself is amazing. We paddled around the bay in the couple of surf Kayaks that the Beachhouse provided, and later snorkled around the reef seeing coral, tropical fish, and stingrays.
Thanks very much to Townsville local, Darrel Butler, for recommending this exclusive property. It is a millionaires paradise. We really enjoyed our stay.

An amazing location but let down by some of the detail. No Wi-fi, no phone line, light bulbs not replaced and out dated bathrooms. Despite this the location makes it a try unique experience (but it could be amazing with a bit more effort!!)
