MOONSHINE BEACH HOUSE

For many people, visiting Straddie is escaping the humdrum sameness of urban living. No shoes, no shirt, no car!

A refined hardwood home with the feel of a treehouse. Moonshine is designed by a local architect and built by island builders. It is a timeless example of what a beach house can be on this beautiful island, with simple pleasures as the focus. Think BBQ prawns and a cold beer, in a shady space with tree framed views and a refreshing breeze.

The building is split over several levels, each with quiet spaces and eye-catching aspects. Settle down with a book in a tranquil spot, enjoy views of the Coral Sea through native gums, or lounge on the day beds with sea breezes on the open viewing deck. Moonshine is a simple beach house without fuss, just as a beach holiday should be. On the top level is a queen bedroom linked by internal/external stairs to the living, kitchen, bathroom and entrance floor, with the lower level housing two sets of bunks and bathroom/laundry.

Park your car or leave it at home and take the bus to the front door. Just 100m walk to Cylinder Beach access road, local shops and the Straddie pub.
