About this property

Casa Mariposa—A Secluded Tropical Sanctuary

  • Summary:

    Escape to your own tropical sanctuary in the Whitsundays, surrounded by lush gardens, native wildlife and mountain views. Spend sunny days barbecuing alfresco by the private pool, or unwind with a soak in the outdoor clawfoot bathtub. Inside, air conditioning and two ensuites offer comfort, while a pool table, table tennis and fire pit bring extra fun. Set across more than an acre of greenery, this peaceful retreat offers a tranquil escape less than a 15-minute drive from Airlie Beach.



    The Space:

    Discover a secluded hideaway set across more than an acre of lush gardens, where butterflies, birdsong and mountain scenery create a beautiful backdrop for your Whitsunday getaway. Inside, the airy open-plan lounge offers a comfortable spot to unwind, with air conditioning and bifold doors opening onto the undercover balcony. The fully equipped kitchen features a handy servery and breakfast bar seating, making it easy to prepare meals and entertain while enjoying the indoor-outdoor flow.



    Outdoor living takes centre stage, with a sparkling private pool surrounded by tropical greenery. The undercover poolside bar features a BBQ, sink and seating, perfect for leisurely lunches and refreshing drinks between swims. The expansive covered deck offers another BBQ, a generous dining table, comfortable sofas and additional seating, all overlooking the beautiful mountain scenery. Challenge your companions to a game of pool or settle in for a long afternoon enjoying the fresh air. Beyond the entertaining areas, the lush gardens offer peaceful corners for morning yoga, quiet moments among nature or leisurely strolls. Enjoy a soothing soak in the outdoor clawfoot bathtub, gather around the backyard fire pit beneath the stars or bring out the table tennis for some friendly competition.



    The primary suite offers a particularly memorable escape, with a super king four-poster bed, private ensuite and a beautiful outdoor clawfoot bathtub. Surrounded by tropical greenery, it's a peaceful spot to enjoy a leisurely soak beneath the open sky. The second bedroom features a king bed and its own ensuite, offering privacy and comfort for everyone.



    A full laundry, Wi-Fi and on-site parking add everyday convenience, making it easy to settle in and enjoy an extended tropical escape.



    Guest Access:

    During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!



    The Neighborhood:

    Tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Riordanvale, this tropical retreat offers a quieter side of the Whitsundays, surrounded by rolling hills, lush vegetation and native wildlife. Enjoy the serenity of the hinterland while remaining within driving distance of Cannonvale's supermarkets, cafés and everyday conveniences.



    Head into Airlie Beach for waterfront restaurants, boutique shopping and the famous lagoon, or explore the scenic Bicentennial Walkway. For an unforgettable day out, join a sailing or snorkelling adventure to the Whitsunday Islands and Great Barrier Reef. A car is recommended for exploring the region.



    Getting Around:

    A car is recommended for exploring Riordanvale and the wider Whitsundays, as public transport is limited in this peaceful hinterland setting. Free on-site parking makes coming and going easy, with Airlie Beach less than a 15-minute drive away. Whitsunday Coast Airport (Proserpine) is approximately 30–35 minutes away by car, while nearby Cannonvale offers supermarkets, cafés and everyday essentials.

Home away from home

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Dear Debbie,Our rental was great but a few little things happened along the way like loosing power and then having to weirdly resolve it ourselves whilst waiting for someone to be sent out. The property rental was efficient but no real offer of compensation was given for the inconvenience or apology really at all but honestly a fantastic house with everything you needed to enjoy your stay.

Casa Mariposa beautiful location and home

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Casa Mariposa as a holiday home was better than we anticipated. Unfortunate the pool was unable to be used due to maintenance issues. Part of the reason we wanted to stay at this home was to use the pool and its outdoor entertaining area. We were contacted by the management company a day prior to our stay to inform us that the pool was not useable and they have had issues getting people to repair it and they offered for us to stay at alternative apartment accommodation in Airlie Beach. We were still wanting the retreat like accommodation of Casa Mariposa instead of apartment accommodation. Disappointing as we had booked this accommodation in advance and it looked as if the pool had not been in use or maintained for sometime. However, when we had issues with wifi connection, the property management company delivered another modem which was appreciated. Also great service in returning my daughter’s water bottle in the post that she had left on our departure. We would love to return to Casa Mariposa when the pool is in working order sometime in the future.
