A perfect authentic beach-cottage getaway that is wonderfully dog friendly. The large outdoor deck was a great spot to catch the breezes and hear the ocean.The beds are delightfully comfortable, the rooms are quiet (as are the neighbours) and you can easily stroll to the beach in minutes. Brendan is very responsive and attentive. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans (there was even a slow-cooker and electric wok!) - the knives were sharp. What more can I say - a huge thank you for having us in your wonderful beach cottage Brendan, thank you.Everything was just pretty perfect all round! We will be back for sure.

We loved our weekend getaway at Elliot Heads, the house was just perfect it had a beautiful beachy feel and had everything we needed. Absolutely fantastic location with walking distance to the beach and cafe which had the best ice creams for our Grandkids who live in Bundaberg. Would definitely recommend to friends as it really was the perfect place to stay.

What an amazing staycation my husband and our bulldog Lucy had. Our most important requirement was our dog can make the home hers, and that she did. It is a clean, tidy lovely home. The host has been so accommodating to all our needs. Close to the beach and a bowls club. Both Mike and Lucy had a great time just relaxing on the deck. Lucy was allowed on the furniture which didn't take her long to kick back and snore. We will definitely re book another holiday here. Thank you for such a relaxing, comfortable, clean, tidy home. Definitely worth the stay.

We had such a wonderful time here in Elliot heads, such a beautiful home in a serene location. The house had everything you need to feel at home. Best fridge/freezer ever, lots of room and unlimited cold water and ice for the summer heat, aswell as the aircon was cool and crisp. There is a huge backyard with lots of places to sit on the verandah and enjoy the views and ocean breeze. Our British bulldog Pablo loved having such a big backyard to run around in, and was spoilt being aloud on the (covered) couch. He did not want to leave by the end of our stay. LolWonderful host with amazing communication and care for the guest/s including the 4 legged kind. Thankyou so much for having us; it was definitely one of our favourite holidays ever! I highly recommend Brendans home to anyone looking to stay in Elliot heads.
