If pristine islands, white sandy beaches and coral reef playgrounds are your idea of paradise, a new development in Australia's far north should have loads of sun-filled appeal.
The development, Sunset Bay Villas, is situated on the water's edge at Eimeo near historical Mackay, midway between the gateways of Brisbane and Cairns. Both cities have international airports.
'Location alone should attract people to this development,' Peter Feely, Chesterton Petty's executive director, said. 'Most waterfront developments on offer in Australia are in the cities.' 'Sunset Bay Villas' little-known location makes it an ideal retreat for the many Hong Kong residents who have business interests in Australia and want to escape the stress of city life.
'Within easy reach by boat or plane is the Great barrier Reef, the world's most-visited natural phenomenon, and the spectacular Whitsunday Islands.
'The complex has a swimming pool, tennis court and 140 metres of beach waterfront,' Mr Feely said.
'Activities such as fishing, sailing, snorkelling, windsurfing and jet ski-ing are just minutes from the doorstep. These villas are ideal for those seeking a lifestyle rather than just a rental investment.' Within view of the villa verandahs are the 74 Whitsunday Islands which have gained international renowned for their beauty. They have kilometres of white beaches and the oldest, largest coral reef formation in the world as the main attractions.
