About this property
Planchonella House: Award-winning Rainforest Oasis
Designed by the renowned Jesse Bennett and awarded "House Magazine" House of the Year in 2015, this architectural masterpiece offers a unique blend of rainforest seclusion and cosmopolitan convenience with the Cairns CBD only a nine-minute drive away. This eco-friendly home seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings, providing a cool, breezy retreat even in the height of summer. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a unique, all-season roof design create a genuine sense of living in nature.
Planchonella House embraces the rainforest and its surroundings with an open design that harmonises with the nature and ecosystem. Discover a stunning eco-retreat where modern design meets rainforest tranquillity, all while being surrounded by verdant Planchonella trees.
Innovative Living Space: Cement ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass walls allow for a refreshing flow of cool breezes year-round. The open-air concept ensures natural ventilation, enhancing comfort even in humid weather. Relax on the mid-century modern sofa, enjoy movie nights, or unwind in a leather reading chair.
Dining and Relaxation: Enjoy drinks at a handcrafted table or dine on the patio with tropical vistas. Multiple dining areas, indoors and out, provide options for every occasion.
Gourmet Kitchen: Cook with premium appliances in a fully equipped kitchen featuring a pink fridge and butler's pantry.
Outdoor Bliss: Follow a pebbled path to a sprawling backyard, sunbathe, or swim in the infinity pool enveloped by rainforest
Luxurious Bedrooms: Three superbly designed bedrooms with glass walls and warm lighting. The primary bedroom includes a super king-sized bed, walk-in wardrobe, and ensuite with bathtub and dual shower heads. Additional bedrooms offer cosy spaces with queen and double beds.
Modern Amenities: The main bathroom features a glass-walled shower with a forest view. The retreat also includes a laundry room and garage parking for three.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
Sorry, this home is not suitable for infants and children.
