Our home is in a quite area with a park 1min from the door the golf club is a 3min drive, local shops are a 8 min walk, shopping centre 6 min drive, the marina is a 10min drive, northern beaches are 12min drive the city is 15min drive in peak hour. September - October In Mackay the weather is mild to warm ideal for water sports the new aquatic fun park is only a 5 min walk from the house. But just in-case you need it the house is air conditioned. Our cat is a little spoilt but spend her day in the garden and sleeps in the house of a night. We prefer that if you are a smoker you do not smoke in the house. Regards Bill
