It was our second stay here and we had a wonderful time. The cabin has everything you need and the property is beautiful. Douglas was attentive to any questions we had. Unfortunately we had to cut our time short due to illness which was disappointing but my partner and I and our French bulldog had a very relaxing time.

The dog loved it!....and so did we.Marilyn, covering for Douglas, was very welcoming.The dam is only 2 metres from the front door, and it is teaming with Birdlife and beautiful lilypillies.Within 10 min, you have fantastic dog friendly restaurants at Coolum, and the Stummer Creek dog "off the leash" area is the best I've seen!Only negative is the clunky Stayz system.

Very relaxing experience for both us and our dogs. Far enough away from town to get the country feel, but close enough to access the whole of the Sunshine Coast. Coolum Beach still the best dog friendly beach we have been to. We had a great relaxing time.

This property had beautiful views. The dam with its flowering water lilies, the paddocks filled with cattle, goats and sheep made for a lovely, relaxing getaway. We wished we could have stayed longer. Being pet friendly, Maple loved getting away with us too.

The cabin is even better in person then in the photos. The absolute perfect spot to sit back and relax. The views were absolutely beautiful of the pond and the cows and goats. Very peaceful and quiet location. We loved it so much we wanted to stay another night but it was already booked. We can’t wait to come back.
