If you are time poor but seek the best a coastal residence has to offer then this Bark designed residence should be for you. Simply arrive and the resident manager will have everything ready for you - beds made, fridge stocked. With uninterrupted ocean views, and situated in the award winning Sunrise Estate of 1770, this is one of the few places on the East coast of Australia where you will be made to feel as though you are miles from one another, unable to view anything but coastal landscape, the ocean and towering trees. The complete holiday escape is available here as you enjoy some of Queensland's best fishing, crabbing, swimming, diving and surfing, as you contemplate a short boat trip to the barrier reef. Residents have access to one of the natural wonders of the world, taking a one and a half hour boat cruise to the Capricorn Section of the Great Barrier Reef and snorkel through some of earth's most striking coral reefs. The relative remoteness of Sunrise at 1770 from large populated areas has meant the area's natural assets have remained largely untouched. Yet 2 jet airports are within an easily accessible 1hr 40 minute drive.
Sunrise at 1770 rests along four kilometres of beachfront land. National Park and Nature Reserves adjoin the "Sunrise" gated community on all sides, with residents having access to any one of six surf beaches where they can choose to swim, surf or wander along the beach's pure white sands. The community's seemingly infinite coastal beaches, protected wetlands, estuaries, dry woodlands and rainforest, rich fishing grounds and uncrowded surf breaks set the scene for the complete relaxed lifestyle.
Two ocean side clubs form the epicentre of "Sunrise's" social gatherings, allowing residents to gaze into the turquoise waters etching the coastline. Club facilities include two twenty-five metre pools, children's shaded pool, tennis courts, changing and storage facilities, outdoor dining and barbeque facilities and direct beach access, guaranteeing that the "Sunrise" community is exactly that... a community.
