Luxury ocean property “ La Flotte” in North Qld
"La Flotte" is an Award Winning Luxury Ocean Front Home - set in the idyllic tropical village of Machans Beach.
We are just north of Cairns, in a unique coastal destination situated between The Great Barrier Reef and Rain Forest. The space We are delighted that you have chosen our beach house - “La Flotte" - for your well-earned vacation. We just know that you will fall in love with our special spot in Tropical North Queensland.
Through time spent travelling as a family, we discovered two locations, in opposing hemispheres that we were drawn to. Machans Beach, the sleepy beachside fishing village in Tropical North Queensland - and La Flotte, a UNESCO World Heritage seaside village on the French Atlantic island of Il De Re'.
We can't be in two places at once - so we have brought some of La Flotte to our house in Machans Beach. Much of the decor, furniture, fittings, linen and artwork have travelled halfway around the world, to find their home at Machans Beach. We hope you enjoy them!
Perhaps most fitting of all though, is the constant fleet of vessels, by day and by night, out on the horizon of the Coral Sea to keep you company during your stay here. We know them as La Flotte - or - The Fleet.
La Flotte was completed in 2015!

I took my partner here for a romantic getaway. The house is perfectly suited for couples and families alike. We woke in the morning to see uninterrupted sunset views then walked along the esplanade spotting dolphins. The SMEG appliances add a nice touch for a great iced coffee after the walk.
The local restaurant/hotel is a stone’s throw away and is ideal for lunches and dinner if we decided not to cook. There is also another cafe run by a lovely Scotsman and a general store for all the essentials.
We rented a car through Uber Carshare to see other sights including Port Douglas.
We didn’t bring our 4 children, but will be back next school holidays as the house has games, separate bed and bathrooms and a pool that is easily supervised on the deck.
Sylvia, the host, provided a helpful summary allowing easy keyless access to the property.
We can’t wait to return!
