The house is really comfortable and extremely welcoming. The hosts went out of their way to make our stay fantastic. It is in a beautiful, quiet location with water views and kangaroos come into the back yard in the afternoons. Will definitely stay again next year!

We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful home! We wish we could have stayed longer. Our hosts were very kind and their communication was excellent. The house is very roomy and has so many gorgeous touches. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we got to enjoy a stunning sunset on the back deck. You won't regret staying here, and next time we're holidaying in the area, we'd love to stay again. Thanks again! :)

Our 4 night break - 4 adults

An impressive property with lovely open plan living areas, large deck and beautiful views. The hosts went out of their way to make sure every little detail was covered. There were so many extras such as breakfast supplies for the first two mornings, a welcome white and red wine plus beers for our first night. Lunch ham and cheese etc too. The kitchen and laundry were extremely well equipped. The residence was beautifully clean with quality towels, sheets etc. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Simon and Boz.

Peaceful and picturesque

This is a stylish and thoughtfully appointed property which blends beautifully with its quiet scenic location. It's not far from Hervey Bay, and we enjoyed having a break from the hustle and bustle of South East Queensland. The hosts were helpful and friendly. We would have loved to have stayed for longer, just soaking up the gorgeous outlook.

Perfect pause before K’gari

Beautiful quiet setting away from crowds and so close to K’gari access. The home is beautifully appointed and hosts incredibly helpful. The perfect place to pause before heading over to the island or coming back.
