This superbly comfortable and beautifully decorated home is immediately welcoming.

Spread across two levels, the living areas merge effortlessly into a seemingly endless open aspect. From everywhere, private vistas of the Coral Sea at your doorstep filter into the rooms, drawing you through this inviting space. Raked timber ceilings feel expansive above, and honed limestone floors are both practical and attractive in this home beside the seaside.

There are four extra large bedrooms; all with ensuite bathroom for privacy and practicality. The upper level features polished timber floors and is configured with one king and one twin bedroom. Tropical louvers catch the sea breezes and let the beach views inside.

A stunning wooden staircase leads downstairs into an ultra modern chef’s granite and stainless steel gourmet kitchen, which is designed to make holiday catering and entertaining a pleasure.

Two bedrooms - a queen and a master king suite - occupy the lower level. From inside the master suite, which has a double vanity bathroom featuring a large spa bath, the outlook is directly onto a secluded private courtyard featuring a hand made stone wall and buddha.

The focus of the generous living area is a cosy entertainment hub equipped with a wide screen television, cable access, DVD player and stereo.

Beside this, the totally private Balinese inspired lap pool is an oasis of serenity. Rest here on a chaise lounge facing sea views and cooling breezes.

Gaia’s spacious covered outdoor verandah is perfect for entertaining, and its uninterrupted views of the Coral Sea make leisurely dining a must. Guests often take a chilled glass and wander across the crisp green lawns to stand with their toes in the white sand. The sensual pleasure of absolute beachfront is a valuable luxury at Gaia.
