The Tropical House Whitsundays

From the vast decks of The Tropical House Whitsundays, gaze at stunning Whitsunday Island views as ‘rainforest meets the reef of the sheltered bay.


LOCATION

Our natural beauty remains uniquely untouched by the passage of time.Enjoy sunrise across the water and a swim in the pool. Walk through bushland down to a coral fringed beach. Take a daytrip to pristine National Park islands and reef. Spend dusk on the deck, watch the brilliance of stars appear. You might even be lucky enough to spot migrating whales from the deck (season runs from June).

Life in the city is frenetic; we love nothing more than escaping to the peace and tranquillity of the Whitsundays region.

Nestled in complete serenity, just 100 meters from the calm waters of the bay, (surrounded by the native bush of Conway National Park). Feeling rather like an island getaway, Shute Harbour is an exclusive enclave, the bustling seaside township of Airlie Beach is twelve minute drive away.

If you are looking for a relaxing holiday (getting off the grid – with or without kids in tow), then this is the place for you.

Part of the attraction of the Whitsundays is getting off the beaten track.

With no shortage of magnificent scenery; water based activities; and fabulous accommodation options – the only problem will be squeezing it all into your holiday.

Here are my Top Five Places you Must Visit in The Whitsundays.
