  • Description

    Description

    I am retired and have a holiday home at Bramston Beach, which is a 1-hour drive south of Cairns in Far North Queensland. It is a house right on the beach; you wake up and look out through the garden containing ancient, towering paperbark trees. House sitting with cleaning and light gardening is what is usually required to keep the home in good condition.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    You do require a vehicle; there is no public transport to Bramston Beach. If you have a camper or caravan, it will need to be parked in front of the home on the street; we do not have side access for vehicles to the beach. Also, Bramston Beach has no shops, other than a small caravan park kiosk. Nearest shopping is Innisfail.
