We absolutely loved our stay at John and Anne’s place. The bedrooms are generous, the beds are comfy, the kitchen is well equipped. It’s a perfect family holiday home. We really appreciated the privacy of a quiet residential area, and it meant that we had the beach practically to ourselves. Would love to be back! Highly recommend!

Comfortable and large beach house

Beautiful, modern three double, two bathroom with plunge pool this house is just across the road from Wongaling Beach. With a large lounge, kitchen and separate dining room this house has front and rear decks. Could see the sea from the lounge, dining and main bedroom areas (and listen to the waves at night). Great beach for little kids with shallow wave area and wide easy walking foreshore. We found a kid's playground a few hundred metres to the right and a great fish and chip shop. Stinger nets access would need transport but in non stinger season swimming is just a stone's throw away.

Beautiful location

Roomy, clean, comfortable, beautifully furnished, all the creature comforts provided, big beds, large bathrooms & laundry, lots of towels, plenty of room for a family of 5. Kitchen well stocked with crockery etc, dining table & outdoor areas large and comfortable to use. Great location with a view of Dunk Island out the front, easy access to the beach. You can hear the ocean at night. Airconditioned and also ceiling fans so easy to stay cool, lots of louvre windows. A very beach house feel and so easy to relax in and tune out from the world. Easy 5 minute car trip into Mission Beach and same to South Mission Beach. Also great spot for jumping on bikes and exploring the area.

Beautiful house in great location!

This house is in a wonderful location - straight across from beach, with Miller's Bar & Grill and a Thai restaurant a block or so away, as well as the main supermarket and other restaurants and shops quite close. Lovely short walk along the beach or footpath to playgrounds. The house itself is so comfortable, clean and has beautiful decor. Beds are comfy, rooms are large and living area is open plan, with everything you need in the kitchen! Even tea & coffee provided for your first night (or first few, depending on how much you drink!!). Fridge is great with ice & water dispenser, which was so lovely in Summer! Little plunge pool was lovely for our baby - about chest depth on adult and quite warm (beach is so close if you wanted colder water!). Ensuite is huge, with great rainshower, and second bathroom has a bath. BBQ, deck and sun lounges very relaxing! Would highly recommend! Owners very easy to contact and great to deal with, as well as the booking agent!

Fantastic house in great location

We totally enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious, comfortable, clean, and looks great. I would very highly recommend this as a place to stay. It was our favourite in our whole trip and we wish we could have stayed longer. The beach is right outside, and the water taxi to dunk island just two minute's walk away. Perfect for us as a family with three children. Thanks again for your hospitality!

Beautiful home

The house is beautiful, we stayed for 5 nights and were a group of 3 couples. The photos don't quite do it justice - the rooms are spacious, the kitchen is well equipped and the location was unbeatable. I would highly recommend this property
