A beautiful, old, cosy home to rest and relax

My family and I needed a mid-term break to rest a little and this place was perfect for that. It's so homely and in a great little spot right near the Main Street and only a short drive to the swimming spot at the dam. Perfect!

We loved the home, its layout, doorways left and right, the contents and yard. The back covered area was a focal point for us to relax and enjoy the areas serenity and especially birdlife. Less than a minute to the shops with a great coffee, treats an IGA and local towns for a wider experience. This Queenslander style house is quirky and cool, a great kitchen and our Labrador loved the yard and deck. The bed was super comfortable with plenty of room. Would be great for families or couples.

Nat was a gem. She was super friendly and checked in often without being overbearing. The house was cute and cozy. The location is fantastic, being within walking distance to the IGA and the bakery.

Easy family holiday

With IGA so close, and the house well equipped, it was easy to relax, knowing that our needs could be well met. We used the local Chinese and pizza places, and the nearby hospital at Caloundra had a good outpatient service. Nice and quiet for sleeping, spaces for family to be together or chill out apart, this property ticks many boxes for parents organising children of all ages.
