Picture a Saturday morning.
You take the short walk down to the boardwalk while the day's still cool. The sand's quiet just you, the Coral Sea, and 1.8km of beach most people never find, because they're all up the highway fighting for a park at Palm Cove.
That's the trade Holloways Beach offers. Close enough to Cairns for the convenience, far enough to feel like life finally took a breath. Quiet streets.
Local cafes. Weekend markets. The kind of suburb that's still relaxed, residential, and real the one the tourists drive straight past.
130 Wistaria Street is the home that fits it.
You feel it the moment you pull in. The pool sits right out the front, glinting behind the fence not hidden away, part of the welcome. Beside it, the covered entertaining area is already set for the barbecue, the cold drink, the friends who stay longer than they planned.
The yard's fully fenced and landscaped, so the kids and the dog can run riot while you stay in your chair. This is where your weekends are going to happen.
Step inside and it's cool, open, and styled ready to move into. The whole house is air-conditioned not one room, all of it so when the wet sets in and it's sticky out, you don't think about it once. Open-plan living and dining flows off a kitchen with stainless steel appliances and real bench space, the spot the whole family ends up anyway.
Three large bedrooms to spread the family out. A separate study for work, homework, or whatever the world wants from you online.
And at the end of a long one? Two bathrooms with a spa in the ensuite that's yours alone.
Then there's the shed. And this is no garden box it's a 9m x 4m powered cave, room enough for the boat, the trailer, the tools, and whatever project you've been dreaming up but never had the space to start. The ramp into Richters Creek is just up at Acacia Street, so the boat's wet in minutes.
The pool, the beach, the slow weekends they're not a renovation away or a postcode out of reach. They're here, styled and waiting for your family to make them yours.
Come and see it before someone else does.

Why Holloways Beach?
- One of Cairns' most relaxed northern beach suburbs roughly 11.2km north of the CBD, tucked between Machans Beach and Yorkeys Knob.
- It's the coastal lifestyle that's getting harder to find. Quiet sandy shores, foreshore parklands, and walking and cycling paths that run for kilometres. A stinger-resistant swimming enclosure near the beach midpoint. Real cafes and restaurants with locals in them, not tour groups. A convenience store, a community hall, boat ramp access at Acacia Street, and the big shop sorted at Smithfield up the road.
- Families land well here too Machans Beach State School and Caravonica State School for the little ones, Smithfield State High and Cairns State High for the older kids.
- Less tourist-heavy than the beaches further north. Quieter than the city. Connected, but calm.
