Step out your front door, cross the quiet esplanade, & within seconds you’ll be at the kids playground or the boat ramp jetty. Within minutes you’ll be at the idyllic swimming coves near the river mouth, or the wide expanse of Kawana surf beach, or the Point Cartwright lighthouse with views from Bribie to Noosa. Within days you'll be planning to come back.

Great Location, well stocked and very spacious house. Backyard was able to be closed with driveway gate so our dog could play and run free in the backyard, which was really lovely as well.

Location is fantastic, right in the river, 50m to the boat ramp, walk to beach and coffee shop, short drive to the pub. Big house and lots of room for 7 adults and two puppies. Only small criticism is, I did not feel the house was cleaned properly prior to our arrival, as there was sand in the rugs, on the floor, on the sofa and in the bedding. It is the beach, I get it that sand is insidious and it gets everywhere, but there should not be sand in the sheets. That being said, I would 100% go back here again.

House has all the comforts you need, its got the nice retro vibe with good quality linen and towels. Kitchen stocked with basic like oil, gladwrap etc which was handy. Lovely location watching boats going past and a nice quite area but only a very shirt drive to shops and Mooloolaba. We didnt catch the ferry but would be handy if we stayed longer.

Awesome accommodation!!!

This property was great. The location is excellent - you can get to wherever you want quickly and easily. The river is just across the road so great to go for walks or grab a line and spend a few lazy hours fishing.Would recommend this property and we will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful stay at this lovely beach house

The home was clean, welcoming and very well stocked with everything from pantry items to plenty of towels, board games, outdoor chairs etc. The beds were super comfortable. Communication and information was great. Location was perfect, out the front door and across the street to the park and scenic walking paths overlooking the seaway. We brought our two small dogs along and they loved it as much as we did. Highly recommend for a peaceful and comfortable getaway.

Enjoyable and Relaxing

We have a wonderful 5 days staying here. The home is comfortable and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. We just wanted to relax and this was perfect for sitting and watching the world go by. The local cafe is great and we were made to feel very welcome like locals. Even though it was Christmas holidays it wasn't as busy as the rest of the coast. A true gem and we have already booked our next holiday here.

Just Perfect!

We spent one week here over Christmas and really felt at home. Our hosts the Holme family made us feel welcome with a generous basket of treats for our family including the four-legged ones. The location doesn't get much better and we are already looking at dates for our return visit. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Would definitely book this property again. Perfect location. A little corner of paradise. We paddled, surfed, swam, walked the dogs and had great coffee at the local cafe. House is nicely decorated and everything you need supplied - all the smallest details thought of. Host was very easy to liaise with and very accommodating. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
