The ‘DeckHouse’ is nestled among the palms at 27 Barbarra St, Picnic Bay, and is part of Magnetic Island’s innovative solar energy trial.
The ‘DeckHouse’ is only two-years old and was designed as a holiday retreat for people wishing to relax in the spirit of Magnetic Island’s historic ‘picnic spot’,which attracted tourists from the mainland during the 1800s. It has two-bedrooms, solid wooden themes with a high sweeping ceiling and modern amenities (no air conditioning). The spacious lounge room opens onto a large wrap-around deck through four bi-fold cedar doors, which attracts the morning sun and relaxing summer sea-breezes. This lovely beach house has comfortable modern furnishings, original artworks throughout that reflect the island and beautifully applied finishing touches that make this house feel like a home. The open tropical garden theme is a magnet to a wide range of birds including endangered curlews, majestic rainbow lorikeets and friendly kookaburras. Take a stroll along the heritage listed Picnic Bay jetty, throw in a line or take a dip in the swimming enclosure only minutes away.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE DECKHOUSE AS PART OF THE SOLAR INITIATIVE
The deck house is participating in a sustainable energy transformation as part of the Australian Solar City project to reduce wasteful energy usage, increase solar energy usage and cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 50,000 tonnes. The Magnetic Island Solar Suburb initiative is being undertaken by Ergon Energy as part of the Townsville: Queensland Solar City project. Smart meters have been installed and used in conjunction with an ‘ecoMeter’ in-house display, where you can determine not only how much electricity you use, but when you should use it. Ergon Energy installed the first smart meter on Magnetic Island in February 2008 and will upgrade all meters on suitable buildings across the island. Townsville is one of seven locations across Australia that is being transformed into a ‘solar city’
