Mayhem at Machans - Good coffee, breakfast & smoothies. All food is good that we have tried
Afternoon walks on esplanade are nice
Good park for the kids around 150m down road
Good fishing off rock wall less than 100m away (many barra & threadfin [king] salmon caught here). Mud crabbing in creeks surrounding (we have caught many!)
Buses at end of street (next to Mayhem at Machans) however it's a hail only stop. Main bus stop on Machans Street. Buses go both ways inc Cairns Central & Smithfield
Smithfield Shopping Centre is great. They have everything you need inc. Woolworths, Coles, Kmart, Dan Murphys & cafes.
Very close to airport. Noise not too bad either considering proximity
Holloways Beach bike path / bridge is great. Swimming in nets at Holloways Main Beach. Can recommend Strait on the Beach cafe for breakfast or lunch.
Machans Store is good for general items inc. post office, fuel, convenience store (approx 200m away)
Quiet area & nice neighbours
Bin days are Friday's - later in day generally (Every second Friday for recycling)
Door Dash seems to have best food delivery options in our opinion
Generally less than $25 Uber to get into cairns nightlife district (ie casino)
Barron River boat ramp 1km (3 mins drive) away. Access to the reef via boat through river mouth on right tide height.
Native bee hives on property.
They will not sting you (they have no sting) & play a very big part in our healthy environment.
