How would you like to dive and snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef or visit the world's oldest tropical rainforest, all close to Port Douglas, Australia?
Our home is one of 13 luxury villas with tropical landscaping in a locked gate community known as Thornton at St Crispins. It is actually a 2 storey town- house with a private courtyard garden area leading out to the common areas described below.
It is located in the central residential area of Port Douglas, less than 10 minutes walk to the beach and 40 minutes walk to town along the beach.
The common areas are for the use of all 13 villas and include a 20 metre swimming pool, tennis court with small adjoining pool, BBQ area, plus landscaped tropical gardens. The majority of the tennants are retired and excessive noise etc would not be tolerated.
Our unit includes a landscaped outdoor dining area, large downstairs open living area with kitchen, lounge, TV viewing and dining area, plus small outdoor area with private bbq leading out to the main pool. There is also a lock up garage , laundry and toilet downstairs.
Upstairs there are 2 double bedrooms with queen size beds, en suites and walk in robes, plus a 3rd bedroom used as an upstairs TV family room looking out over the pool area. One en-suite includes a bath with shower and toilet etc, the other is a large shower and toilet etc only.

About Our Family
Sally is a retired teacher and Rob a civil engineer. We also had a bit of a "sea change" and ran holiday apartments in Port Douglas. We are an active couple and spend a lot of time caravanning around Australia, explorting out of way places.
We have two married sons and 4 grandchildren
Our elder son and family live just down the road and will be available to sort out any issues should they arise.
Lifestyle
We love the outdoors and have just returned from our 2nd trip in 2 years caravanning around Australia.
We like sailing and snorkelling and walking on the beach. Needless to say we love to travel and have done house swaps in Edinburgh. Nordheimsund in Norway. Amsterdam, Vienna, Wellington in New Zealand, Barcelona, and Brittany,
