About this property

Indoor/outdoor pet-friendly beach house next to world-class beach and river.

Welcome to the best pet friendly beach house experience in the Elliott Heads area. Bring your K9 best friends for a fabulous beach holiday (they are welcome inside and out). Huge ocean-facing deck. Fully refurbished in December 2021 with new bedding, linen, furniture, smart TVs, free wifi and all kitchen equipment and appliances and located in a quiet street at quaint Elliott Heads village. 100 metre walk to the sensational sandy Elliott River, patrolled surf beach and surf-side fish and chip shop. Lighthouse is a dream location for your summer vacation or winter getaway. We are known for our world-class conditions for kite-surfing and renowned pristine waters where you can whale watch from the headland, snorkel over reef just off the beach and reel in cracker fish from the shore. Lighthouse is four houses down from the riverside walkway which runs along the beach north through nearby villages. Perfect for a long leisurely walk, bike riding and rollerblading. Fantastic bowling club with a free bus if you want a tipple and terrific food. Lighthouse is located only 20 minutes from the bustling centre of Bundaberg, which has an airport. Your pets will love the fully fenced yard and if you love your pets inside, snuggled up on the couch with you; this is the dream holiday beach house. Free high-speed NBN WiFi included for all the family. Everything is here for the perfect holiday in the quietest street in dream Elliott Heads. Just pack your towels and you're ready to go.

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.

Great home close to the beach

Well appointed home, that has everything you need. Also located very close to the beach which was amazing. Great verandah to sit out on. The beach was dog-friendly on-leash so our dogs loved it, also a great yard for them to run in.

It truly is the best place to stay. We had a family group of 12 stay for 5 nights. It was perfect. Everyone had their own room & bathroom, a huge kitchen & dinning room. Amazing views of Lake Arenal from every room in the house. We all loved the indoor pool, ping pong, pool table, and foosball. The absolute best part of our stay was Patrick & his wife Alisa. We had a full, homemade breakfast every morning. It was fabulous. That was so nice to be able to just wake up and leave no dishes no cooking nothing. Each morning was a different breakfast and just as amazing as the day before. Thank you for taking care of us. Every activity and restaurant you suggested was perfect. We loved our stay.

The Perfect Getaway

We had such an amazing stay at this beach house in Elliott Heads! It was perfect for our little family — including our two puppies, who absolutely loved the space to roam and relax. The house was super comfortable, well-equipped, and just a short stroll to the beach (which made all the difference with kids and dogs in tow!). We had everything we needed, and the communication from the owner was spot on, friendly, helpful, and easy. As someone who loves to cook while away we weren’t short of all the essential equipment as well as an epic BBQ. It was such a peaceful, relaxing getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

Charming Pet Friendly Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at this pet-friendly cottage! It was perfectly appointed, cosy, and felt like a charming home away from home. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making it the ideal retreat for both us and our furry companion. The host was incredibly responsive and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our stay. A genuine thank you for sharing such a beautiful holiday home—we look forward to returning!

A perfect stay for our family! Comfortable house and facilities. The yard and back deck was great for our dogs. Enough room for us to bring the boat and paddle boards. A very short walk to the beach but longer walkways to various lookouts. We saw whales from the submarine lookout, explored the rock pools, swam at the patrolled beach and went paddling in the more protected area. Great spot!

Lovely little shack that accommodated my family perfectly for our 4 might stay over Easter. Perfectly located a short walking distance from the best beach on the Bundaberg coastline and very convenient for launching a boat to go fishing. I loved the stay so much I have started looking around for similar properties in the area to purchase as a holiday home.

Great beach getaway house

Extremely comfortable and well presented house in a great location. The house is well furnished, with an open deck and private backyard. Only a couple of minutes walk to both the beach and river. A tip: bring some insect repellant if you're planning to be outside.

A welcome sea breeze

A comfortable and cute cottage with a great outdoor deck that captures the sea breeze on the hot summer days. The cottage provided all the necessities for a laid back summer holiday. A/C and fans in all the rooms making it comfortable. Walking distance to a patrolled beach and the rock pools. A comfortable home for a family get together lounging and dining on the back deck. A very pleasant say.
