Valletta
Valletta is a beautiful family beach home. Originally brought to the island via barge, this 1890s Queenslander offers large open living spaces, original features, and modern comforts for guests to enjoy. Valletta is elevated over a quiet street, surrounded by tropical gardens and National Park. Louvres and screened decking bring this close, as you listen to the waves, feel the breeze, and identify bird sounds. The gorgeous Alma Bay and the best Pub on Maggie is a short 5min walk down the hill.
