About this property

Your own stretch of wilderness river only 15 mins from Hastings St, incl kayaks

Your own totally private stretch of the Noosa river system in four acres of wilderness bush, five minutes to Noosaville. Long river frontages on two sides, state park with a patch of rain forest on the third side and long bush drive on the fourth side. A covered deck high in the trees overlooks the river. Kookaburras and magpies sit on the deck rail and mullet jump in the river below. Kangaroos are valued residents on the lawns.
The house is open-plan with a "die-for" deck in the trees looking down on the river. Parents unwind on the deck while children adventure below! Fish, crab and kayak directly from the house, in a very private and wilderness like setting. Children love the kayaks (we provide 7, two of which are dedicated fishing kayaks, and life jackets) These provide a wilderness-like paddling experience. Paddle down the river to Lake Cooroibah, and try some estuary fishing. Or take a tinny (outboard) from the house down the river to Tewantin or Noosa for breakfast (we provide the kayaks, you provide the tinny).
Comfortable lounges on the ultra-large tree level deck look down on river reflections. Breakfast with the fish jumping and the birds singing (but please don't feed the friendly kookaburras!). Kangaroos, kookaburras, water monitors and bush turkeys reside in the adjacent national park. A family of 'roos is resident in the gardens, and the kookaburras sit on the balcony rail watching the progress of your meal out of the corner of their eyes!
The house and deck are fully accessible without ascending steps and the shower in the main bathroom is wheel chair friendly.
There are sweeping lawns down to the river and towering original growth eucalypts. Paperbarks line the river bank.
Sit around the firepit by the river cooking snags under the stars and listening to the mullet splashing. Maybe the kids have a line in the river (fishing gear provided).
Then, in case you are thinking that life couldn't get much better, it is just seven minutes to the amazing choice of restaurants along the Noosa River on Gympie Terrace (Noosaville), 15 minutes (off peak) to Hastings Street fashion shopping, renowned restaurants and Noosa's iconic main beach and surfing.
Enjoy truly memorable day trips to Fraser Island in 4WD buses, or take your own 4wd up the North Shore beach to Fraser Island, with a fish in the surf on the way. The Tewantin car ferry across the Noosa River to the North Sore is five minutes away.
Other nearby attractions include the beautiful Noosa River Everglades by launch, Aussie World, UnderWater World and internationally-renowned Australia Zoo. Eumundi markets are nearby (Wednesday and Saturday) as is Noosa's equally popular Sunday morning market. Noosa has a network of scenic walking trails in the Noosa National Park (15 minutes away) and the Cooloolah National Park (along the North Sore and fifteen minutes away).
Minimum booking is two days.
A separate and privately located granny flat on the same 4 acres can also be added for $120/night (off season price) plus cleaning. This boosts adult accommodation to 8. The granny flat is light, spacious and airy and lets you holiday with your friends/relatives, but with separate and more private living spaces. It comprises three rooms with en suite, stove, air fryer, dishwasher, tv, washing machine and its own huge deck overlooking another branch of the river. This is popular with friends wanting to holiday together but keep their own private living space or parents retreat.

Cooriobah

Had a lovely stay, could of stayed longer. Very quiet. The house was well equiped with all you need, unlike some other properties. Had a plumbing issue which was fixed immediately the day I called. Good service.Got to meet one of the very obliging owners. Because the area had received unprecented rain over the past month and for a couple of days while we were there, the grassed areas were a bit soggy, which was unavoidable, but would be better in the dry. Plenty of parking on the gravel driveway for two cars and the boat.

A Wonderful stay by the river

This is my second time renting from the wonderful Carolyn and Jeff. Their place is truly amazing! The house is spacious, well-maintained, and beautifully organised. I absolutely love it, and my friends do too. It’s also a perfect spot for a peaceful and quiet getaway. I especially loved having the river right in front of the house and being able to kayak all the way to Lake Cooroibah. I didn’t want to get out of the water!

Hardly a reason to leave once there. It feels so peaceful and secluded with plenty to do on the property. If you do want to duck out, woolies is 10 minutes away and the beach isn’t far either. 2nd stay for us and we had just a great of a time.

Perfect getaway location

Wow, wow, wow.... we absolutely loved this property which is set in a beautiful location away from all the the tourist-bustle, yet is only a short drive from the Tewantin shops. Our hosts were very quick to resolve a minor issue we encountered with the DVD player, and the property had all the comforts you'd possibly want. We would happily stay here again.

Relaxing second time visiting, the property enabled us all to enjoy much needed rest and relaxation together. Love the bush and river views and all that is provided for a very comfortable stay. Noosa Harbour Fish Market provided 3kg of delicious prawns and oysters & Scottys Pizza dished out great pizza for footy night. Apollonian Hotel always a favourite spot to enjoy a coldie. Noosa Oceanrider highly recommend for some added family fun. Appreciate being here again!

Ultimate weekend getaway!

My family and I stayed for 2 nights to celebrate my 50th birthday. What a stunning, private and tranquil holiday home. You don't need to even leave! We filled our day with kayaking, swimming, fishing and just enjoying a good book and a glass of wine as you cast your eyes over the river from your balcony. We will definately be back...for a longer stay next time

Relaxing river stay

We had an amazing time. The house had everything you could ask for a river stay. The kayaks, fishing rods and crab pots were great fun and we enjoyed toasting marshmallows over the fire pit (firewood was supplied) on the rivers edge. The outlook off the deck is to die for. The showers were one of the best and the kitchen was well equipped.Definitely recommend for families. I wish we could have stayed longer.!

Such a beautiful property with stunning bush and river views. Heaps of inclusions from the kayaks and firewood to everything you could need inside the house.

About the host

Hosted by Geoff and Carolyn Dixon

Host profile image
We live in Canberra and our house on the Noosa river system is our future retirement paradise! This will be when our nine Canberra based grandchildren have finally flown the nest. In the meantime this unique 4 acres is loved by our beautiful guests for its tranquil bush, pristine kayaking, riverside camp fires and natural life. We are former sheep farmers and ,much as we enjoy the bustle of Noosa, it is so nice to return in the evenings to the real and tranquil Noosa bush

Why they chose this property

This 4 acre bush property is very popular with families. Parents unwind on the deck above the river watching kids do what only kids do in four acres of bush beside a river - kayaking, swimming, crabbing and fishing (everything provided). Everyone loves the campfire by the river!
Yet this totally private stretch of river on 4 bush acres is only 5 minutes from newly bustling Tewantin, 10 minutes from ever swinging Noosaville and 15 minutes from internationally exclusive Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach. Purrrfect!

What makes this property unique

A unique combination of an Australian bush holiday and a Noosa lifestyle holiday in just one package (great for families).
The serenity and privacy of living beside your very own stretch of Australian tree-lined river.
Seamless transition between the buzz and glamour of the Noosa area and the birdsong and serenity of the Australian bush.
