We know that organising a holiday in a remote area can sometimes be daunting and that is why we have put together a number of different options to take the stress out of your adventure holiday. All accommodation packages include boat transfers from Thursday Island to Prince of Wales Island which is a short 15 minute journey. Before we head off, we can make a stop for you to purchase your holiday provisions.
Set amongst the natural vegetation with a breathtaking, beachfront location, you will have exclusive access to this modern, two-story home. It is equipped with everything you will need for a totally relaxing holiday. Downstairs the living area is bathed in natural light and styled with comfortable furniture. The stylish kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, a microwave, a large fridge, and all the utensils you could ever need.
Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms. The main bedroom with queen bed leads directly to the wide balcony whilst the second bedroom features a double bed together with a single bunk bed. A shared bathroom is positioned between these two rooms. An additional living area upstairs is furnished with a sofa bed and also has access to the balcony. Quality linen is provided for up to a maximum of six guests. All windows and doors are security screened and large enough to allow the cooling breezes to flow throughout the home. There are also ceiling fans to offer additional comfort during the night.
Outside there is a generous undercover area for alfresco entertaining and dining, whilst watching the gorgeous sunset. Imagine too, relaxing on one of the sun lounges with a book on your own private beach, taking in the stunning views. If that isn’t enough, then there is also a four-burner gas BBQ and an outdoor fire pit on the beach directly in front of this home. There are also a number of fishing rods with tackle, board games, DVD player available for our guests use.
This eco-friendly home is designed to be self-sufficient and open to the natural beauty of the surroundings. With solar power and our own water supply, we like to reduce, reuse and recycle wherever possible. Whilst there will be sufficient supply for both day and night, we ask our guests to be mindful of these precious natural resources and reduce their usage of power and water wherever possible.
A regional authority under the Queensland government, the Torres Strait Islands consists of over 270 islands clustered between the northern tip of Cape York and Papua New Guinea. Whilst Thursday Island is the commercial hub of the region, Prince of Wales Island is just a short boat trip away.
Packed full of amazing sights which are still mostly undiscovered, there is still lots to do on the island. The beautiful waters are abundant with a diverse range of fish species, many of which can be caught straight off the beach. There are also many paths and trails to access crystal clear swimming holes under cooling waterfalls. If you are feeling energetic, there are some fabulous rocky outcrops to climb for fantastic views over the Strait.
For those with a fascination for Indigenous culture, WWII history, and pearl farming, this region provides a wonderful and uniquely interesting holiday destination. Your host is happy to suggest a number of tours that can be designed specifically for you with door-to-door pick-up by water taxi.
Cost for four guests is $350 per night and any additional guests are $50 per person per night.
A one off cleaning and linen fee is $250.
