About this property

Stunning Beach House, Glamping Tent and Outdoor Movies - Dicky Beach

Spoil your friends and family with a stay at the most unbeatable holiday location on the Sunshine Coast. You will fall in love with the historic charm of this newly renovated, grand beachside home, located just metres from the patrolled beach. Keep everyone in your extended family happy with a 4 bedroom house upstairs (sleeps 8), 2 bedroom self contained apartment downstairs (sleeps 4) and a luxurious, airconditioned glamping tent in the backyard (sleeps 4). The property provides ample room to spread out, comfortably accommodating up to 16 guests.

At Dicky Beach Original your dog is considered family too. Your fur baby will be in doggy holiday heaven with all the local dog friendly cafes, big backyard and off leash beach a 5 minute walk away.

Relax with your loved ones in the tropical gardens or take a few steps down the laneway beside the house to enjoy a freshly made barista coffee, bakery treat or alfresco meal at one of the many cafes, restaurants and bars along the popular Dicky Beach esplanade.

The perfect day at the beach is just a 90 second walk away. Grab the gazebo, boogie boards, beach towels, picnic blanket and beach toys to make the most of the Sunshine Coast's amazing beach weather!

Upon returning from the beach, wash off under your outdoor beach shower, then soak in a luxurious bubble bath. IGA is just 30m away and is ideal to buy supplies for dinner or walk a few more metres to the butcher for some top quality cuts to entertain your family with a bbq overlooking the waves from your top deck.

Alternatively, send someone out to grab take-away fish and chips, pizza, Thai, Japanese or book in for a delicious meal at the Dicky Beach Surf Club just across the road. Enjoy a few beverages at dinner and stop off at BWS for a few more as there is no need to drive anywhere once you've arrived.

Relax around the fire pit while the kids play table tennis and fight over where they'll be sleeping!

Retreat to your luxuriously appointed boho glamping tent or choose from one of 6 beautifully decorated bedrooms and sink into the crisp, white sheets of your comfortable bed.

Explore the stunning coastal pathway, walk to Currimundi Lake for breakfast and a swim, explore the nearby playgrounds and skate park or head to Australia Zoo, Aussie World or the famous Glasshouse Mountains.

Amazing Holiday Home for Families!

We had an amazing weekend away at Dicky Beach Original Beach House. It was the perfect setting for our extended family to catch up, and everyone had their own space to retreat to when needed. The hosts have truly thought of everything. It is a home away from home. We stayed in winter so enjoyed an evening by the fire, which was so easy to use. The glamping tent is a highlight - it is so special. We will definitely be back!

Perfect for our large family group

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at this lovely home with our large extended family. Both upstairs and downstairs accommodation are beautifully presented and very well equipped with everything needed for our stay. Our grandchildren loved the experience of sleeping and hanging out in the glamping tent. The outdoor theatre set up was also a great hit. Our hosts were very welcoming and responsive to our requests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic!

We had a fantastic 7-night stay! The house was perfect for our large family (18 people) and 2 dogs and we had the best week - first time ever we had all been together . Location is very handy for everything - beach, shops, cafes and restaurants. House itself kept everyone occupied with its facilities and entertainment options - table tennis, fire pit, two good sized kitchens, televisions, games and more. Chris and Sam were great hosts - communication was clear and responsive. Thank you again! We’ll be recommending to others and hope to be back x

A relaxing weekend in the perfect location

The Dicky Beach Original Beach House was the perfect location for a weekend away with friends. The hosts were extremely hospitable and helpful, providing snacks on arrival and the comfiest robes. The house was extremely clean, tidy and beautifully presented. Everything we needed was right there and you never needed to leave. When you did, it was a two minute walk to the beautiful beach or the local shops and cafes. The glamping tent was amazing and it was great to sit out the back by the fire and have a BBQ. I would definitely recommend booking the Dicky Beach Original Beach House and hope to visit again!

The perfect spot for an extended family or friends vacation. The house is immaculately presented and cleaned. Everything you need and multiple lounging, eating and relaxing areas gave everyone the room to spread out or mingle as they wished. The location is unbeatable in a lovely quiet, family area with almost everything you need a 30 second walk away. The beach is only about 3 mins away and patrolled area only 250m away.. Hosts could not have been more helpful and always responded immediately to any communications. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The perfect stay

This is such a beautifully appointed home in the perfect location. From the moment I stepped into the house, it was apparent that the hosts are very passionate about what they do. From the giant stunning balcony from which I could see glimpses of the ocean while enjoying breakfast in the sunshine, to the relaxing baths and luxury products provided, everything was absolutely perfect. The furniture was comfortable and stylish. The home retains a wonderful colonial charm, while boasting all of the modern appliances you would hope for. Highly recommended. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Gorgeous beach house for the whole family

This beautiful home away from home was absolutely perfect in every way. From its gorgeous spacious clean rooms with comfortable beds inside, to its myriad of lovely outdoor areas, it couldn't be faulted. We had breakfasts, lunches, drinks and dinners on the lovely deck with its huge table and lots of chairs for everyone. The barbecue was a dream. We also loved the outdoor cinema and well-stocked firepit and the cosy seating area shaded by the gorgeous yellow Allamanda vine. We all had fun with table tennis, but never quite got to use the provided bikes or even the super cool glamping tent. The property is also in a great position with lots of shops and cafes nearby as well as the beach and a lovely walking trail along its front. Sam was also very responsive, friendly and helpful at all times. We had the most wonderful 3 nights there with our family of 7 adults, 1 baby and 2 doggies. We would love to return.

Perfect Beach Stay In A Beautiful Home With Thoughtful Hosts

Before I even began our visit I knew I'd made the right choice to book a surprise family trip to this home at Dicky Beach for my wife's birthday. Hosts Sam & Chris were lovely, very approachable, responsive & welcoming & went the extra mile even arranging a Happy Birthday banner to greet us as we entered the home.As soon as my family arrived there were delighted smiles all round. My teenager was super impressed with the glamping tent & ping pong table & my dog was equally impressed with a fully fenced yard & the nice walk to & around Dicky Beach. My wife & I just thought everything about the property was perfect.The home itself is a beautifully presented queenslander with all the mod cons & carefully thought out renovations to ensure everybody is more than comfortable. Lots of room, lots of local options for dinner at home in this beautiful space or quick trip to the Surf Club, or local eateries. We found the home so beautiful just to be in that if we most enjoyed eating on the deck where we could catch a sea breeze & enjoy the view.In short, lovely hosts, beautiful home & perfect location. 10/10
