Holiday in this tranquil tropical home near Port Douglas
On the lookout for a special tropical home, Lee Walters was smitten when she first saw Cahaya Puri.
Built into the side of a hill near Port Douglas and surrounded by tropical vegetation, the spacious and welcoming timber pole home immediately appealed.
With a large swimming pool, tennis court and expansive views of the Coral Sea, this tropical holiday home is welcoming and comfortable. Its six double bedrooms and three or four large entertaining areas, set in three acres of gardens and forest, make it ideal for visiting families or groups to rent for their Port Douglas vacation.
Individuals or couples are also welcome when Lee herself is in residence, when a bed and breakfast arrangement is possible. Rates range from $130 to $550 per night depending on occupancy arrangements.
Lee divides her time between Cahaya Puri in Port Douglas and her other home in Sydney, with the tropical holiday home competing very favourably for her time! A keen sailor and gardener, Lee also loves to entertain, which she does with considerable flair.
I have enjoyed many a pleasant and lively meal in the company of a dozen or so artists around Lee’s large table on the open verandah, overlooking the distant Coral Sea.
The studio downstairs has multi purpose functions and may be used for creative endeavours, entertaining or just as a quiet retreat from which to observe dancing blue butterflies, sunbirds or the strange sounding, camouflaged curlews.Whatever your interests, this tropical holiday home is the perfect, spacious retreat, just a little removed from the busy activity of the lively resort village of Port Douglas.
