Moreton Island was awesome. House was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. BBQ was perfect for cooking dinner and the kids loved the marshmallows cooked in the fire pit.
What a lovely place to stay. Had the best time on Moreton and the house was a big part of that. The photos don’t do the place justice as it’s so much better in person. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Thanks for your kind words. You are welcome back any time.
We had a great time at Umptys. One member of our group arrived a day early, the host Sean was very accomodating and extended our booking with no issue, check in and out was easy, the house was big enough to accommodate us all and the location was perfect, close to the beach, gutter bar ans 4WD tracks, we would definitely book again
Great, neat as a pin with a stack of utensils for the stay
Great location
Weather was dodgy but had a great time
Sean the owner was great with flexibility
Our trip was amazing and was great to have a really nice home base to come home to each night, sitting by the large fireplace each night was awesome. The house had a real beach side feel and was cozy we felt like it was like being at home, the neighbours are great and very friendly.
We would definitely do a return trip the house was perfect for us
Umpys humpy was so homely. It had everything you could want and need. Loved the outdoor kitchen and the deck was great for all the gatherings around good food and great company. Would definitely go back.

Thanks for the feedback Alisha. I have spoken to our caretaker to address the “bunk room” issue. Hope to see you again in the near future.
Great location, away from the crowds further north.
Lovely large kitchen, well appointed and functional. Wonderful dining area on the covered deck. All of the sleeping options were clean and tidy. The wall fans in the main house bedrooms were fantastic. Would certainly consider staying there again.

4 families all went to Kooringal booking 3 houses between them....Umpy's Humpy had the best gathering space (deck & outdoor fireplace) of all....kids aged 9 -21 all loved it....having seperate "dormroom' with the bunkbeds and extra mattresses was perfect
