The House

Avalon is NOT “Balinese” styled or the usual “concrete mansion”, its’ unique design could only be classified as “Australian Tropical” architecture. Extensive use of locally available construction materials including supports of natural tree trunks, Silky Oak timber from the Daintree, corrugated iron roofing and tropical hardwood floors all combine to create the sophisticated simplicity that is Avalon
 
Set in lush tropical surrounds with open spacious rooms and protected outdoor areas all designed to maximise airflow so creating a balanced environment. Avalon really does “heal the spirit” as soon as you arrive. Its’ relaxed atmosphere and soothing charm are only enhanced by the discreet Security System which allows you to lock the world out.

Avalon

Avalon however is not just a pretty face. It’s actually quite an intelligent abode (i.e. Smart Home) with everything electrical (lights, fans, pool system, security etc) controlled and operated by the C-Bus data control system.

Your accommodation at Avalon is supplied with everything you should expect or wish for in a luxury home. All you have to bring are your own personal items. Find out about our special BONUS PACKAGE (OVER $3000 value) that we have organised through local businesses (tours, attractions, reef trips, cruises etc) only for guests at Avalon.

Home Treatre

There is no Cinema in Port Douglas – so we built our own – a genuine indulgence. The Yamaha System is fully integrated and projects onto a 3m screen. The built-in Dolby Surround Sound audio turn this custom designed room into a private theatre, fully air-conditioned for your comfort!

The need to accommodate a large family plus inevitable friends, dictated that the space be generous (around 50m2) with plenty of seating. The “boys” dictated the need for the drinks fridge to be placed close at hand!
The Home Theatre System is set up for Cable; DVD; Video and normal TV with ports for computer, Digital Camera and video. Think of your Holiday snaps on a 3m screen.

There is also a 6 stack CD connected to the surround sound – great for parties.

Kitchen

This kitchen is definitely NOT “gourmet” - the gourmands can wait at the solid granite table in the dining room. This kitchen is a Chefs’ delight!
Silky Oak timber and stone bench tops support the Highland(Gaggenau) gas cooktop, twin Fisher & Paykel ‘fridge and freezer, Miele dishwasher and microwave.

The 900cm Miele oven is not in the kitchen, but outside in the pavilion next to the BBQ and oversized sink – if you can’t stand the heat, get the oven out of the kitchen.
Even though this is a very practical work area, you are never isolated as it has been designed to be the heart of the entertaining area, central and open to the dining area, pool and pavilion. After dinner whip up a Latte on the espresso machine using one of the delicious Cairns Highland Coffees and a glass of Shannonvale Tropical Port provided by Avalon.
