The slow monday | Modern Beach Shack | W/ Pool

Located in a sleepy little beach town that time forgot. Where ancient palms shade your path and prehistoric creatures still roam the land. The slow monday sits on the edge of protected forest (a cassowary corridor) just a stroll from the beach. A modern take on the classic Australian beach shack, the house is designed for the Queensland tropics. There are two pavilions, one for living and the other for sleeping, all with large glass sliding doors that open up to let the environment in.

Other things to note The house backs onto a public walking and bike track that winds through a protected cassowary corridor, taking you just 750m through the rainforest to the beach. From time to time, walkers and cyclists pass behind the property and can see into the backyard. Based on previous guest feedback, and our own preference, we’ve chosen not to fully screen the back fence. This allows for an unobstructed view of the stunning rainforest and wildlife, including the occasional cassowary. For the lucky guests who see one, it’s an unforgettable experience! If you’re excited by the idea of waking up surrounded by rainforest, walking through the cassowary corridor to the beach and potentially spotting a cassowary while having breakfast, then we think you’ll love staying here. It isn’t perfect in every way, but the things that make it a little less private are also what make the setting so special. The house itself embraces that connection to the outdoors, with two separate buildings, one for the living/kitchen/powderoom and the other for the full bathroom (bath) and bedroom, there is a walkway and deck connecting the living space with the bedroom and bathroom.
