About this property
The Crab Pot at Tuan - Huge Family Home
The Crab Pot is a double storey large family house with 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and full kitchen upstairs PLUS one separate bedroom with en-suite in a granny flat type setup downstairs making it perfect for large groups, multiple families or three generations. The lounge room, master bedroom and granny flat have air conditioning and the other bedrooms have pedestal fans. A large kitchen overlooks the outdoor deck which has ocean views.
Tuan is a very quiet fishing town with plenty of wildlife surrounding the house. We always have kangaroos, birds, ducks and more hanging around to look at. Please don’t get too close they’re wild animals.
The Crab Pot at Tuan is a family friendly boating adventure waiting to happen. Got a boat? Love fishing? Crabbing? Towing the kids around on the tube? Then this is the place for you!
Tuan has a pontoon, double lane, all tide deep water boat ramp and is just a quick boat trip out to K'Gari (Fraser Island). Down the front (a stones throw away) there is a kids playground and a sandy beach to swim and play at.
In Boonooroo (5 min drive) there is a golf club that serves wonderful food on a Saturday night (you must book by Thursday) and a bowls club that serves meals on Friday and Saturdays. Please note there are no shops in town, the closest is Maryborough (15 min drive).
Along with our other wildlife we do get quite a few mozzies and midgies which are worse at different times of the year. We provide coils and bug spray but advise you bring your own as well and cover up particularly at dusk.
There is plenty of on site parking for your cars and boats on the grass or driveway.

We would love to welcome you to The Crab Pot. We have spent time creating the perfect family holiday home with memories from our own childhoods and what we enjoyed about going on family holidays and hope to bring that to our own children now as well.
The Crab Pot is a huge family home big enough to house a couple of families. Overlooking the Great Sandy Straights in a quiet little fishing town, if you're a boating family its a fantastic spot for a quiet getaway, The house is an older house, we are slowly doing up but trying to keep some older character of the 'holiday house' feel from when we were kids.
