Fraser Island Classic Beach House - 1 minute to the beach
Key Features:
1. Two level house with an open tropical beach architectural style to catch the sea breeze
2. Large deck, upstairs verandah and private balcony off main bedroom to catch the sea breeze.
3. Fully enclosed large yard.
4. Silent 24/7 solar power (no generator noise at night).
5. Five minute walk or one minute drive to Eastern Beach.
6. Bar, store, fuel and restaurant located straight across the road at the Fraser Island Wilderness Retreat. This is the closest home to facilities at the Retreat.
Beach House Style
Fraser Island Holiday Home is a self contained tropical style beach home centrally located at Happy Valley on World Heritage Listed Fraser Island. The open design captures the sea breezes. The home features expansive timber decking, french doors and expansive enclosed lawn area safe for children . Extensive use is made of polished Fraser Island Satinay hardwood flooring. Hear the surf roar as you fall asleep and the birds chirp as you wake up!
Number of Guests
The home is suited to 2-3 families wishing to share (perhaps 1 upstairs and 1 down). It sleeps up to 12 people comfortably in 9 beds across 5 bedrooms. There are kitchen and bathroom facilities upstairs and down, including 2 toilets.
The person who makes the booking must also be a guest and provide contact details. All guests must sleep in a bed. Tents, swags, and fire pits are not permitted. The home does not cater to 'schoolies' i.e. large school leaver groups.
Layout
The bedroom configuration is:
Bedroom 1 - queen bed (upstairs) - sleeps 2
Bedroom 2 - queen bed (upstairs) - sleeps 2
Bedroom 3 - single bunk (upstairs) - sleeps 2
Bedroom 4 - 2 single bunks (downstairs) - sleeps 4
Bedroom 5 - double bed sleeps 2.
Solar Power
The home uses a silent, eco-friendly solar power system. Please do not overload with additional appliances such as hair dryers or car fridges. Showers and cooking facilities are gas fueled.
Facilities
Facilities include Satellite TV, washing machine, gas BBQ, large dining table and ample street parking in a quiet cul-de-sac.
What to Bring
Guests should plan to bring their own food and toiletries. A store, restaurant, bar and fuel are all available in Happy Valley if you do forget anything. Guests also need to bring their own linen (sheets & towels only). Other bedding such as pillows cases, pillows, mattress protectors, doonas and blankets are all provided. The nearby Fraser Island Wilderness Retreat hires linen by prior arrangement.
Location
The holiday home is situated in the beautiful little village community settlement of Happy Valley, about 1/2 way up the Great Eastern Beach of Fraser Island. There is a 200m boardwalk to the famed Eastern Beach. Happy Valley is enclosed by a dingo fence to ensure the safety and security of small children. The yard surrounding the home is also fully enclosed
Noise
Out of respect for others guests are asked to please reduce noise after 10 pm with 'lights out' by 11 pm. The home is primarily designed to accommodate families rather than students, parties or fishing groups. Wedding groups are welcome.
Management
The holiday home is maintained to a high standard by people who live in Happy Valley. They are easily contactable and readily available should guests need anything. Fraser Island Holiday Home is a self clean ('leave it as you find it') property. Cleaning products are provided. Guests should dispose of any household rubbish at the nearby rubbish tip on departure (due west).
Activities
A large wall map is provided upstairs to help you plan your daily adventures. Popular activities on Fraser Island include fishing, swimming, sun-baking, four wheel beach driving, sightseeing, fresh water lakes, rain forest viewing, trekking, bird watching, scenic flights, whale watching & (byo) canoeing. Nearby attractions include Lakes Wabby and Garawongerra, the Maheno Ship Wreck, Eli Creek, Rainbow Gorge and the spectacular palms in Yidney Scrub rainforest. Happy Valley is the starting point for the epic 90 km long 'Great Walk' through the 'Valley of the Giants' and terminating at Dilli Village.
Booking
It is a requirement that the person making a booking must be a resident guest, not acting for a third party.

The minimum stay at Fraser Island Holiday Home is 3 nights.
