Serendipity Cottage - A tropical Immersion

Serendipity is the perfect tropical immersion for your Far North Queensland getaway. We don't offer a brand new building with perfect lines, but we do offer an experience not to be missed, when visiting the tropics.

The cottage has a rustic, homely feel, with plenty of social space for a family of six, and the garden and pool area are submersed in a tropical rainforest setting.

To top it off you are less than a ten minutes stroll the beach, eateries and cafes. A unique experience not to miss

The cottage features three bedrooms upstairs, while downstairs has the open plan kitchen, lounge area and bathroom. The gardens are a big attraction at the cottage with lush tropical plants everywhere you look, and a large swimming pool nestled in amongst the backdrop.

The perfect base to explore Far North Queensland, Holloways Beach is a relaxed seaside village with year-round holiday vibes. An easy 15-minutes north of Cairns and 20-minutes south of Palm Cove, Holloways Beach, has a selection of cafes and restaurants, all a short stroll from Mylara (our picks; Strait on the Beach, Two Blocks Café and Holloways Pizza and Pasta).

A sun-kissed beach and foreshore parks with walking and cycling trails, this is the kind of place where you want to kick back and relax. Time your visit right, and you’ll be in for a real treat with Holloways Beach Market (held on the second Sunday of every month).

Yet all the adventure you could dream of is just around the corner. The Great Barrier Reef and The Daintree Rainforest are a must-do day trip, but brace yourself because there is a lot of water fun to be had; scuba diving, snorkelling, kayaking, sailing, jet skiing, stand-up paddle boarding, white water rafting, island hopping and deep-sea fishing (to name a few). On land, the list is just as diverse; golfing, bungee jumping, hiking, animal encounters, or explore Cairns, Port Douglas, and Kuranda, a mountain village within a tropical rainforest

Just as advertised - tropical paradise
We found the Holloway's Beach Cozie home a real gem. The whole place was spotless, excellent design and a pool surrounded by huge palm trees. The very well equipped home has everything you would wish for and has the feeling of being very private in a surrounding of lush tropical forest.

Lovely place to stay
This is a wonderful place to stay - the gardens are beautiful, the pool wonderful and the house well appointed and comfortable. I would highly recommend Serendipity House as a place to relax and rest. It is close to the beach and a short drive to Cairns. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Family Getaway
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house that made us feel like we were tucked away in amongst all the greenery. It had everything that we need for it to be a home away from home.
