About this property

Relaxing Waterfront Home with Beach Vibe

Beachhaven is located on South Stradbroke Island Waters on South Stradbroke Island on the gorgeous Gold Coast.
Waterfront Address is 12 Kookaburra Court, South Stradbroke

It is only accessible by boat, making it totally unique and a wonderful paradise with a 22km sandy beach a 2km walk away or bike ride from your front door.

This home has recently been fully repainted inside & outside and styled with a gorgeous relaxed beach vibe. Think linen curtains, rattan, cane and shiplap cladding.
You'll instantly relax in this space and the perfect place to create holiday memories.

There are two lounge areas, one upstairs and one downstairs plus a separate media room, including spacious upstairs and downstairs deck areas. The perfect place to have a quiet drink, snooze or read a book.

Downstairs deck includes a BBQ
Take the tinny and try a spot of fishing or crabbing. (15hp so a QLD boat license is required)

Louvre windows make it breezy and having a huge deck both upstairs and downstairs overlooking the sandy beach canal, is a great way to watch the family on the kayaks, swimming in the canal or playing on the canal beach.
Stay includes use of bikes, kayaks and SUP.

Tipplers cafe is a 5 min boat trip or a 15-20 min bike ride.
Couran Cove Resort is also a short 5 minute bike ride away and is accessible via boat, bike or walking.
Come and enjoy everything South Straddie and Beachhaven has to offer.

To make the most of your holiday we invite guests to come as early as 10am. After all who wants to check in late and leave early?

South Stradbroke Island Waters is a quiet island holiday home environment.
This stay suits a family and is not for parties of any kind.

If you've booked by error with the intention of a party please contact us and we will refund you.

Mat was an outstanding host, from his prompt responses to the personal touches left for our arrival, he truly thought of everything and made our stay so relaxing. The house itself is stunning and beautifully decorated, the fact it came with added activities such as kayaks and SUPs was such a bonus.

Holiday bliss with everything you could need!

We stayed for three nights and didn’t want to leave! The home owners were so easy to communicate with and were so accommodating with an early check in/later check out for us. The furniture and styling in the house is beautiful and it has everything you could possibly need down to activities, games, cooking extras and welcome goodies! We will definitely be back ♥️😃

Would definitely recommend Mat (very helpful host) and his house at South Straddie. We had an awesome stay - the house is perfect for large groups with 3 separate living areas, beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, heaps of kitchen equipment, bikes (those fat wheel bikes were so good), kayaks and SUP. We went out for a late afternoon kayak and had a pod of dolphins playing around us and swimming right under our kayaks at the entrace to the canal.

This is our first time renting our beach house.
Our family and friends absolutely love spending time here, and we do too.
Sadly we can’t be there this Easter so thought we’d share with others to enjoy.
