The House comes equipped with three king suites, each with an ensuite, indoor-outdoor shower, outdoor bath, and private balcony to enjoy and soak up the views. Bathrooms are equipped with premium bath products, bath robes and slippers. Interiors reflect the rest of the House, with custom-crafted furniture, stone and timber surfaces, and other natural touches.

The Cottage is a self-contained, single level building within close walking distance to The House.

Nestled upon the doorstep of the pristine Great Barrier Reef, The House invites you to experience the region with personalised and intimate activities.
