This home was built back in 2005 and since over the last 21 years has been a holiday home to many thousands of guests and their families and friends with not one guest, family or friend ever falling or slipping on said stairs except your guest/s. There is also a concrete driveway which guests can use for access to the house front door.
Have stayed at Dolce Villa with 15-16 friends numerous times since 2024 and the house is perfect for relaxing with a large group of family and friends. Great view over the ocean and wrecks, we saw whales 4 days in a row from the spa on the balcony, and the arrangements couldn’t have been easier with moreton island accommodation services.

Awesome house!
This house was everything we had hoped for.
The views were amazing and facilities were great within the house also.
We had a very comfortable and easy stay at this property and everyone was very impressed by the house. The owners are very responsive when contacted. The only difficulty is the access down to tangalooma or the beach for the more elderly. It is a steep walk down ,so I think there is an option to hire a buggy if needed. Overall it was a wonderful place to stay.

Nice stay
Our stay at Dolce Villa was nice. Great views and deck. We really enjoyed ourselves. Just a couple of things could be improved. Firstly information on how to operate the dishwasher and washing machines would be helpful. Also the BBQ is in very poor condition and was not cleaned properly. But all in all a nice stay.
Thank you
We stayed in this house a fair few times and it is a great place however, the house is lacking a bit of maintenance and items that used to be here. E.g. Clothesline not there, Smoke alarms going off at night and don't seem to be inter connected. Probably some bugs in there but ceiling is too high to get to, No batteries in TV controllers, Fan on deck not working, window in bottom bedroom can't close.
Overal still one to recommend but owners should invest a little bit to keep at a high level of quality.

Amazing view
This property has an amazing balcony with a perfect view even a blind to stop the sun in the afternoons magic
However the kitchen needs a good clean out and the inside of the house needs a good paint job also had to wash all the mattress proctors when we checked in
A buggy would have been greatly appreciated if it was supplied as the 4WD track was one of the worst ones we’ve been on
We had a great stay but definitely needs some TLC
Great house, great location, when we called up about a couple of the downlights not working the maintenance person was there extremely promptly and was very friendly and nice to deal with. There is plenty of space, and the house has a very good layout. The views from the deck are amazing and there is ample on street parking particularly good if you have lots of 4wds, boats etc. One of the things letting the house down is that there is no air-conditioning. Whilst this would probably be fine most of the year as it is quite open and breezy it was particularly hot and humid when we stayed and a couple of the nights were quite unbearable. There is some pedestal fans which work however unfortunately most of the ceiling fans don't work properly. The other concern was that most of the windows can be opened all the way without any safety screen or restrictors which are actually required by law to prevent kids falling out of windows. At one point we noticed two of the four year olds trying to climb out the window onto the roof. This then ended up being a constant concern the rest of the time we were there. It looked like some restrictors may have once been there and have perished or perhaps the house was built before the laws got put in place and was never updated. There was also a broken pendant light in the kitchen as well as heavily buckled timber flooring from water damage. I think it would be worthwhile having some tradesmen spend a couple of weeks on the house just to sort a handful of issues and bring this house back to its former glory. It's an amazing house in and amazing spot, and everyone we've dealt with throughout the process has been great to deal with. It's just a shame that unfortunately the house hasn't been as well maintained as it could be. Overall we still had a great experience.
Loved staying at Dolce Villa. Perfect for a big family or group of friends. I would definitely recommend hiring a golf buggy if you don’t have a 4wd as it’s a big walk up the hill.
We love this house on Moreton Island. We stayed for 5 nights at Easter 2021. The house is a great size and easily slept our 6 adults and 6 children. It has a really well appointed kitchen and plenty of relaxation space. I highly recommend staying here.
