THIS island home has a resort-style design and a private tropical sanctuary in the backyard.
Owners Wendy and Neil Robinson bought 37 Eden Cres, Woorim 25 years ago and in that time have turned the property into a haven.
“We loved the open-plan design and the atrium in the centre of the home,” Mrs Robinson said.
“It’s such a beautiful Queensland home.”
Mrs Robinson said when they first moved in, the property had virtually no garden and just some landscaping around the inground swimming pool.
“We’ve created the gardens over the past 25 years,” she said.
“We mainly have tropical plants. We love bromeliads and we have lots of palms.”

The result is a private backyard full of lush greenery.
“It’s a beautiful feeling when you sit out there at night in the gazebo with the candles going,” Mrs Robinson said.
“We feel like we don’t have any neighbours.”
The well-designed home is built around a central atrium with a living and dining area on one side, a family room opposite and the kitchen at the top of a courtyard.
The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite while the two remaining bedrooms have built-in wardrobes.
The home also has a laundry and double garage.
The Robinsons have updated the home over the years, including renovating the kitchen and bathrooms.
“It’s great home for entertaining, we’ve had so many great nights here,” Mrs Robinson said.
“Neil and I are both golfers and this is also a great place to come home to after a game. It’s so quiet and relaxing.”
The home is three minutes from the Bribie Island Golf Club and a five-minute walk from the beach.
The property is on the market through Sheri Binzer of Bribie Island Real Estate.
