ON HOLIDAY EVERY DAY

The entire 10th floor of the waterfront Harbour Lights is up for sale, with six apartments offering sophisticated, marina precinct living

LIVING like every day is a holiday will soon be possible as a suite of apartments in one of Cairns’ premier complexes enters the market.

The whole 10th floor at the glamorous 12-floor Harbour Lights south tower is up for grabs and there is nothing stopping one buyer from owning it all.

Six apartments, which were formerly managed by hospitality company Accor for holiday letting are now for sale, including five one-bedroom apartments and one dual-key twobedroom apartment.

Among the six units listed, there are recently renovated properties on offer and they range between $399,000 and $599,000.

Office agent Renee Straguszi-Smith who said the south tower had never been marketed for residential living before.

“People have always thought it wasn’t achievable to live at Harbour Lights,” she said.

“Now we have the opportunity to live at the prestigious waterfront address without breaking the bank.”

At the top-end of the price bracket is the dualkey, fully furnished property listed for $599,000. However, Ms Straguszi-Smith said the “jewel in the crown” was room 1003, which had been refurbished to present the opportunities a Harbour Lights apartment offered and was listed for $425,000.

“It’s a 75sq m one-bedroom apartment that has been stunningly refurbished with a coastal chic vibe by Koru Homewares,” she said.

“So we’re trying to strike that perfect balance between cosiness and sophistication.

“You want to walk through the door and instantly feel like you’re on holidays, but you’re living there.

“All the other units have been fitted out by Indesign International with custom-made carpet and furnishings that reflect the reef and other natural elements of the region.

“They feature full length balconies, water views, loads of natural light and year-round sea breezes.”

She said there was no reason one buyer couldn’t snap up the whole floor, and the apartments would likely appeal to a wide range of buyers.

“We’ve had a lot of people inquire about Harbour Lights in the past.

“We’re really appealing to buyers from all walks of life, so people from the Tablelands looking for that convenient city retreat, fly-in flyout workers or people who work in the mines, retirees or people looking to downsize.

“It will be popular for people living in Melbourne and Sydney seeking that winter holiday home.

“They are very well-priced, easy to maintain and perfectly located in our vibrant marina restaurant precinct which includes awardwinning eateries.

“The units make great investments, too. There are plenty of property management options from the onsite hotel operator Accor, to holiday letting or long-term renting.”

There are open home sessions on Saturday and Sunday from 2-2.45pm.
