If you’re looking for a three-bedroom house with a bit of land and lots of wildlife, this should be on your list. You can wave the neighbours goodbye and retreat to the bush in your own little patch of paradise.

Whyanbeel is a locals’ secret, just 20 minutes from Port Douglas. This house sits on a ridge facing east, catching the sea breezes, nestled within five acres of pristine rainforest.

Solid and tidy, the house features a gorgeous natural easy-care garden, a large garden shed and plenty of outdoor living space.
