About this property
Saltwater, Kooringal
"Saltwater" is a charming Pacific style airy beach house situated in a cool and leafy garden.
The house is located one street back from the famous "Gutter" and is only 50metres from the water.
The house sleeps 10 people comfortably - it has a master bedroom with an ensuite, a room with a double bed, a bunk room (2 bunks) and a kids' room (2 single beds).
There are two bathrooms plus an outdoor shower; a clean and modern kitchen; 3 televisions; DVD players; an outdoor BBQ; large decks; a washing machine; fridge and chest freezer; beach umbrellas, chairs and kids' toys; linen.
The house also has a large deck with day beds and comfortable chairs.
Everything you need for a relaxing family holiday at the beach.
Things to do
"Saltwater" is a short walk to the "Gutter". The kids can enjoy beachcombing in the sting ray holes and hunt for soldier crabs at low tide or swim in the shallows at high tide. And for the parents, it is the perfect place to watch the sun set and have a few 'sunsetters' while the kids play.
The ocean and surf side of Moreton Island is only a five minute drive from Kooringal. You can climb sand dunes, visit the Mirrapools or go snorkelling at the Tangalooma Wrecks.
If you are feeling more adventurous, you can head North for the day and visit the Champagne pools, the Blue Hole and the Lighthouse. Or even climb Mount Tempest.
You can fish from Reeders Point (only 5 minutes from the house) and the ocean beach or go squid fishing in the gutter (boats can be launched from near the house if you have a 'tinny').
National park - 4WD only
Moreton Island is a national park. There are no sealed roads - this means that there is 4WD access only. You will need a permit for your vehicle, which can be obtained from the barge operator. No pets are allowed.
"Saltwater" is off-grid. Electricity in the house is supplied by solar power. We have good solar batteries and a generator - although you need to be mindful of how much electricity you use. The water is rain water from a tank.
We have a friendly property manager who can help if you have any problems.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Donna McCart
Our family loves the ocean and being near it. We have owned the house for over thirty years and it has changed and grown with our family. We spend as much time at Moreton Island as we can - not as much time as we would like with school age children and sporting commitments on week-ends. When school finishes, we are usually on the first barge over to the Island. Our kids are all Kooringal Kids, having grown up in the township, and they love the Island as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
Kooringal is a magic place. And our house is magic too! Everyone who stays there simply loves it. It isn't swanky but it has a soul - from the many happy times spent there.
