Located directly opposite Rex Smeal Park and the historical old Courthouse, 10 Wharf Street is the closest residential dwelling to the centre of Port Douglas. This beautiful home offers guests unrivalled access to the park, with it's playground facilities and also to Little Beach which is the only beach on the inlet side of Port Douglas - sandy at low tide and a great place for paddling with small children. On Sundays, the park is home to the famous Port Douglas Markets and the Sunday session at the Courthouse Hotel is only a two minute walk away.

Entry is via a slate driveway off Murphy Street into a double garage. A choice of inside and outside living areas centre around a fully equipped black granite kitchen with icemaker fridge, Blanco appliances and a breakfast bar. Dining choices include a casual outdoor setting by the pool, or a more formal table, also outside but undercover, overlooking the garden and pool. There is also a smaller table on the sundeck of the sleeping pavilion.

There is a separate parents wing with sitting area, king bed and a full bathroom with spa bath. Three other bedrooms, bathroom and sitting room are located in a separate pavilion, joined by decking and undercover walkways. The focal point of the house is the large, sunny and heated lagoon style pool located between the two wings. Ideal for guests wanting to participate in the social aspects of Port Douglas, this house has immediate access to the surrounding restaurants, shops, supermarkets and nightclubs.

The property is fully contained with both perimeter and pool fencing and combined with its proximity to the park and beach make this a great holiday home for families. All bedrooms are air-conditioned with screens and fans. The tropical design does mean that the house is open to the elements. Entertainment options include 42" Plasma TV, CD, DVD, Austar and a second television.
