Cassowary Retreat, 76 Cassowary St, Freshwater

A luxury hillside house with an outstanding view over the Freshwater valley cane fields to the Barron Gorge and Glacier Rock.

You want a special home when you are on holiday. A place to reward your family and inspire you. Cassowary Retreat is special. Set high on the hillside in the beautiful suburb of Freshwater with no one looking in on you.

The wide sliding glass doors open out onto the covered patio and pool area with comfy outdoor furniture. And you have a grandstand view of the Kuranda range split by the Barron Gorge.

 Freshwater and neighbouring Stratford are old suburbs with wide streets and lots of mature trees. The Whitfield range is the lush green backdrop.

The nearest beach (Holloways Beach) is 11 minutes by car and Cairns is 15 minutes drive.

There are tennis courts nearby and great cafes. We recommend the cafe at the Limberlost Nursery which is just down the hill and well worth visiting for its range of tropical plants.

The Kuranda train stops at Freshwater station (Freshwater Connection). You can take the train up to Kuranda from here and take the Skyrail down. From Skyrail they run a bus back to Freshwater to collect your car from the station. On any morning or afternoon, you can see the train moving across the range below Glacier Rock as it enters or leaves the Barron River Gorge.
