About this property

Moreton Island Beach house at Bulwer ‘Miss De’ Barge’

This holiday beach house is very basic, but has all the essentials you will need. If you like being at one with nature and having a peaceful, natural break or even stay for a longer time. There are no bitumen roads on the island except for sand, so you will need a 4wd or arrangements can be made for you to be picked up and taken back to the barge. It is a 30 second walk to a wonderful, beautiful beach through an open track, and a 5 minute walk to the only shop at Bulwer Castaways.
This beach house is very simple, but easy, and great for families.

For guests after 4 people, it is $20 per head per night.

Perfect little beach shack

We recently had our second stay at ‘Mister Barge’ and loved it just as much as our first stay. The property is perfect for a Moreton Island getaway and has a fantastic location. With a perfect little beach out front and little wreck to explore within walking distance. Well equipped for a sunset BBQ and even a fire pit! We love this place and will hopefully visit again next year.

Lovely house in a lovely location. Lots of pots, plates etc needed clean prior to use. Two burners on stove not working making food preparation a little more difficult. Take extra drinking water then you think you need.

Perfect Location

House is beautiful and clean, very easy to walk to the beach to enjoy the wonderful sunsets and swims. Close to everything and communication with owner was second to none. Very informative and helpful in how the house operates, what we need to bring as well as letting us know about some unexpected conditions of the island to be aware of just before our trip. I would highly recommend this beautiful home for a family to spend some real quality time together ❤️

Great little beach 'shack'

We had a great time at this place. The description of the place was accurate and was located brilliantly in Bulwer - right behind the dunes (<1 minute walk to the beach) and a few minutes walk from the shops. It is a basic setup but had everything we needed and would be good for large families. The host was fantastic to deal with and really friendly. Only a minor little issue at check in, when the place wasn't quite ready in time. Otherwise a really enjoyable stay

Rustic Beach Shack

Large one level house, with numerous indoor and outdoor eating areas. Very laid back. Would be great for a group of guys fishing as very close to the shop and the beaches. A second shower would be handy. Lots of hot water to wash off the salt. Thanks, Clare.

Great little holiday house

Simple nice house for exploring Moreton Island. 50m walk through the dune vegetation to the beach. We mainly surfed and fished along the northern coast of the island and the house was perfect for this. Clare was fantastic to deal with. We will be back

What a magic spot! We absolutely loved our time at Bulwer staying in this little beach shack. Simple but perfect with everything you need and an absolutely awesome location.
