About this property

Absolute Water Front with Private Pontoon for Fishing, Boating and Crabbing!

Enjoy plenty of space at this family home away from home. This house has a private pontoon with deep water mooring for your own boat of any size. 10 people can be accommodated, and your furry friends are welcome. All linen and essentials are provided.

Escape the work life and take advantage of the natural environment: for outdoor entertainment, there are kayaks (with paddles and lifejackets), bikes, crab pots, a cosy fire pit, and for any rainy days there are board games and plenty books.

There is free WIFI at the property.

There is a Chrome Cast TV, which can stream Netflix or Apple, as well as show terrestrial channels.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you can think of including a coffee machine, toastie maker, full oven, electric fry pan and airfryer. There is also a 8-burner BBQ on the deck overlooking the water.

There are 4 bedrooms: one bedroom is downstairs and contains 2 single beds.

There are shops on Russell, a good Supa IGA, butcher, baker and bottle shop as well as a few cafes. The bowls club does nice food and has a courtesy bus.

There is a reliable taxi service - 0408 - 78-55-55.

Access to the island is either by own watercraft, vehicle ferry (1hr from Redland Bay) (see Sealink website > SEQ) or passenger ferry (20-30 mins from Redland Bay).

If you want to use it as a base to explore further afield in SEQ, once back on the mainland, it is only 40 mins drive to Theme Parks on the Gold Coast.

Caution: we advise you not to sit directly under the coconut tree, as the coconuts can fall down!

Please ask if you need early check in or late check out: we can sometimes accommodate this.

About the host

Hosted by ANDREA GANNON

Host profile image
I am English but been in Australia for 23 years. I love travel, and having a home away from home to stay in. I enjoy getting things right for guests, and meeting like-minded people. We are a family team - older children work in our business and help with holiday rentals.

Why they chose this property

We love the bay islands, for their serenity. The islands feel like they are a thousand miles away from the mainland, but actually only 30 mins. We are boaties and hikers so we love the nature.

What makes this property unique

Our property has a private pontoon, so you can moor your own boat or just fish whilst sipping your drinks from your own back garden.
