Other Things to Note:
Other things to note:
**NOTE: The premises is not child-proof: there are stairs, washing liquid storage is low & has not been locked, the TV is not mounted, outlets are not covered, and blinds have cords (with cleats to tie them up). If you choose to stay here with children, it is done so at your own risk.
There are other units with local residents around and behind our townhouse, so please no parties or schoolies (see more under House Rules).
Cannonvale is considered to be a rural town, and we love that about it! It has a relaxed, beachy, small town vibe. It also means that some things can be a bit rustic. IE: our access road is not sealed so just be aware of the uneven ground when parking, and watch your step for potential puddles after rain.
If you are unfamiliar with tropical climates, please be aware that certain factors are unpreventable. IE: Ants are a factor & part of life in North Queensland even when the unit is clean. While we provide tips, sprays, & traps to help minimize/deal with them, you may see them around from time to time. The best prevention is to keep all food & food waste tightly sealed or in the fridge.

Getting Around:
↠ BIKE or E-SCOOTER: Our location is ideal for an enjoyable, mostly flat bike ride to town via the famous Bicentennial Walk-way / Boardwalk. You will be spoiled by the views along the water’s edge and are likely to spot turtles and fish in the vibrant colour of the lapping coral sea (particularly at Turtle Boardwalk). There are cafes and restaurants along the way, so plenty of places to refresh, sit and observe boats coming in and out of the marinas, enjoying the local vibe. Depending on your speed, it is about a 15 min ride to Coral Sea Marina, and 20 mins to Airlie Town Centre (we have recommended the best deal in town for bicycle rentals with free drop-off & pick-up in our Local Tips binder!).
↠ WALK: Plenty of things are walkable from our location, including the beach, Whitsunday Shopping Centre, and Bicentennial Walk-way. If you have time to spare and prefer not to rent a bicycle, you can walk right to Airlie's Town Centre along the waterfront in about 45 mins (depending on your speed / stops; you could make an entire day of it if you stop to take in everything along the way!). There are plenty of places to rest & refresh, but take a water bottle, sunscreen, and hat, as this is North Queensland and can be quite warm.
↠ BUS: There are several bus stops close by as a quicker option if you don't have a vehicle or bike rental (we have a copy of the transit schedules in our binder)
↠ DRIVE/TAXI: Parking & Taxi service info is also provided (everything is a short drive from our central location)
↠ FREE SHUTTLES: Some tours & restaurants also offer free shuttles, so be sure to ask when you book with them!
Interaction with Guests:
You will have the place to yourself, so although we may not have the pleasure of meeting you, we have provided a binder full of tips from the locals (us!) and information for your stay.
We will be happy to assist you if you have any questions during your stay.
The ease of self check-in means you can arrive at your leisure any time after the check-in time.
