Beautiful place in an awesome location close to all essentials ammenities. Place suited our needs to the tee. The cleaners could improve by giving the place a good once over prior to guests arriving as we found frogs in 2 bath tubs and some clothes under the sink in one of the bedrooms but generally the place is awesome and would recommend to friends and family. Host communication was excellent and very friendly.

Fabulous family getaway in a tropical paradise
We were a group of 11 adults and 2 toddlers. Spent 9 nights at Shanee Prana. The house is large and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and well tended. 20 minutes drive from Cairns airport and 10 minutes to the skyrail, 30 minutes to Cairns and the boats out to the reef, so good location. You appreciate the pool because you dont want to swim at the beach due to stinger season and crocodile risk. Its a little more rustic than the photos show, but clean and comfortable. Tennis court is great but the rackets were a bit sad, and we needed new balls (not a big deal unless you are a serious player, in which case, byo). Its a great house to relax in and big enough to find a quiet spot when needed. Airconditioners and fans throughout. We loved our stay and would stay at Shanee Prana again.

Relaxing Resort Style Home in Cairns
We had an amazing stay at this property. The pictures accurately depict the beauty and comfort of the place. The pool, tennis court, and the spacious surroundings provided a perfect backdrop for a variety of enjoyable activities throughout our stay. The well-equipped kitchen and convenient laundry facilities truly made it feel like a home away from home. We were able to easily cook meals and take care of our laundry needs, adding an extra layer of convenience to our vacation. Lara's communication was outstanding, and any issues we raised were promptly and effectively addressed. I highly recommend this property, especially if you're looking for a relaxing getaway with family and friends.

Rainforest Idyll.
Lara’s home was an ideal property for our scattered family of 9 to come together to celebrate a milestone birthday. A large double block with with an impressive driveway through a beautiful garden backing on large rainforest ranges behind. Plenty of accommodation to allow privacy and comfort with nicely appointed ensuites. A large open modern kitchen and dining area allowed for our meal gatherings. The tennis court provided lots of family rivalry and a small but ample sized pool to cool off. It was an well positioned for tourism around the area which we took advantage of. A vehicle is needed to to get around and to the local shopping centers. All in all a very special property.

Calming, Perfect Location and SOO MUCH ROOM
Paula and Lara were a delight to deal with pre-arrival, on check in and post trip. I cannot put into words how beautiful this location is and all the eclectic corners and art around the house made the stay feel homey. The gardens are kept prestine with soo mamy tropical trees and plants and flowers setting the mood of constant serenity. Tennis court and Pool were amazing features will all equipment you need for a great time. The Rooms were spacious, Kitchen was well stocked and the living room lounges were the most comfortable for evening chills and a Wine. This house made our trip to Cairns a definite 10/10. Can’t wait to return !!

Amazing stay at Kewarra Beach
We loved our stay, amazing place, easy friendly communication, safe community. We had three families stay with kids ranging from 4 to 18. Everyone had a blast - kids loved the pool, adults enjoyed the tennis court and the outdoor kitchen/bbq area was perfect for what we needed - we ate outside every night and pretty much every other meal too. Would highly recommend for a large group looking to relax in the beautiful Cairns climate.

at Shanee Prana you live in the middle of a tropical garden in an extremely well equipped house
the tropical, very open architecture gave us a lot of space and privacy for us parents and our two children but could easily be home for another family in the 2nd wing. you have the choice between the pool in front or the tennis court in the back of the house. everything incl garden and tennis court is very well maintained(!) - we stayed here finishing our holidays but will come back next time for a werk and explore the area from here, beaches are 5min drive, cairns 15min, tableland or port douglas/mossman 1 hour. lara is a very friendly host doing all she can with her staff to make things possible.

The house is big enough to accomodate a larger group. We were a group of 10 and our stay was very relaxing. There's plenty of room for the kids to play and the outdoor dining area is perfect.

Fantastic kids-friendly tropical home!
The house is fantastic, very comfortable and safe for 3 couples and 5 kids. The bedrooms have modern comfortable beds and bathrooms are also very good. The garden is amazing, with lots of space to play, a nice pool and a tennis court. The big barbecue also made our evenings very delicious! The location is very beautiful, quite and peaceful, however the beach is reachable only by car. We had a great reception upon our arrival, with a person waiting for us at the house to explain us everything and to give us some tips on shopping and sightseeing around. The pictures of the house available in the internet are very truthful to the reality! We would go back there anytime!

great holiday property
Our extended family with ages ranging from 88 to 3 months were well accommodated in this beautiful home. We were appreciative of the all the facilities which allowed us to celebrate together but also find quiet places to re-group. Our introduction on the property use and facilities was well supported by the housekeeper. We would return without hesitation.

A hidden gem!
My family have just come back from an incredible 8 days staying at Shanee. Anyone who books this property will definitely not be disappointed and it certainly ticks all the boxes to ensure a successful family holiday. We loved lazying around the pool, playing tennis,reading a book in the hammock whilst admiring the tropical gardens, enjoying meals out on the beautiful deck, and visiting the Barrier reef and other tourist attractions this part of the world has to offer.The house itself is exquisite and much bigger than i had imagined. My children are still talking about this holiday! Thank you Lara for not only being extremely helpful with sharing your knowledge of the area but for also allowing us to share your wonderful piece of paradise!

Good day!
It's a great pleasure to introduce my property Shanee Prana A Tropical Paradise .
I fell in love with the place where it is in North Queensland , the serenity , tranquility and elegance. I know you will also fall in love with it as many guests already have..
Since I have renovated it , so it's better inside than it was . Being a tour guide I have been privileged to be to many places in Australia and overseas. I know from experience what people like and how to make their holiday stay very happy, satisfied and memorable in the best possible way.
I am a very positive person , care about people and their needs . Nothing is a problem, would love to help in any way possible.
My interests are practicing yoga( the property is suitable for boutique retreats ),
Love meeting people, finding out what makes them happy and deliver to the best ability.
I come from Eastern Europe, lived in Israel, Germany , and proudly call myself Australian most of my life !!!
Looking forward to hear from you soon!

Why they chose this property

While coming a few times to Cairns with my work and later with my family, it was clear that this is the place worth spending time more often away from wonderful but very hectic Sydney. The search began to find the gem , that I can call my own, luckily we found it. The position is in very desirable area of North Queensland in Kewarra beach, which is very close to Cairns and all the needs can be satisfied from there being it just relaxing at the pool, beach is only 4km from the property, Port Douglas only 40km , very posh Palm Cove and Trinity beach not to mention all that NQ is offering being the gateway to Great Barrier Reef, Tropical Daintree Forests and all the activities with this.
Having experienced the need to be able to cook while on holidays as restaurants are not always providing all the answers , you will find a fantastic kitchen with all you need to do all your own master chef creations, BBQ is a part of open kitchen on the patio with a small separate fridge, sink and bench.
To work all of this off , you have your own full size tennis court ! or just stay in the hammock all day and watch the nature!

What makes this property unique

The original dwelling was built around 20 years ago with amazing Australian silky oak embossing all the French doors, huge hall way between the main family room and the rest of the property. Being surrounded by beautiful , elegant design with wraparound veranda's , lounges to rest, spa bath to indulge in , or patio to have dinner or lunch with fresh breeze kissing you, makes this place absolutely wonderful to experience with family reunions, small functions or even boutique weddings.
