A Whitsundays escape lifestyle is up for sale through Deborah Cullen and Richard Royle of Cullen Royle, in conjunction with Pat O'Driscoll of Knight Frank Rockhampton
Situated in the Great Barrier Reef Queensland, Australia, this private island home delivers the ultimate in seclusion and a remote hideaway where your closest neighbours are sea turtles, schools of dolphin and tropical birds.
Victor Island, a 20-minute boat ride from Hay Point Marina or a six-minute helicopter ride from Mackay Airport, is for sale for the bargain price of $4.95 million. Unlike most islands in the Whitsundays, this one is just 2km from the mainland and has only one house on it.

“In 2021 we are blessed with the opportunity to work remotely and enjoy the natural landscapes and village life of our regional towns. This is the opportunity to make footprints on the beach that are only your own, all for the price of a suburban home in Sydney or Melbourne… how could you resist?”
“Victor Island provides the opportunity for a very special retreat lifestyle while still being connected to mainland Australia. It even has NBN!”

For them, the privacy aspect was a huge drawcard. “Most people don’t even know we exist,” Mr Sullivan said. “It’s so totally private… you can fly into Mackay Airport, hop on a helicopter, land in the backyard in six minutes and no one knows you’re here.
