About this property

The Light House Cottage

Welcome to The Light House.

The Light House is the closest house to the working Burnett Heads Light house.
Views of the ocean or harbour from every window in the house.
Discover the pristine coastline of Burnett Heads and Mon Repos, with intriguing turtles, whales and the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.

This well-maintained home is the typical Queenslander with closed in verandahs (sleep-outs), and a large, central lounge.

It was the old pilot stations' house, moved with logs to this prime location back in the 30's.

There are 4 bedrooms and a 2-way bathroom, with a claw-foot bath and seperate shower. The toilet is separate.

The 2 queen, and 2 single beds are very comfortable, as is the leather lounge suite.

Ceiling fans are throughout, and sea breezes are too pleasant to bother with air-con.

The fully fenced yard is large enough to park your boat and car, and keep your dog happy and secure.

Outdoor pets welcome and pets may sleep in the laundry at night.

Lockable single shed.

Great fishing and swimming from the rock walls and private beach.

Excellent boating and fishing in river or out to the reef.

A short 700m walk to local Supermarket, shops, PO, pub and club.

Playgrounds and skate bowl in adjacent parks for the kids.

Nice property. Was very clean. The air flow was lacking so it was a bit warm at night. I would say an air conditioner is needed. Also, it would have been nice if some coffee pods were available at the property for the coffee maker that was provided. Also, WiFi is certainly needed at property rentals, especially when traveling international.On a plus side, property had easy access to beach trails and scuba diving adventures.

The house was perfect for us. Everything we needed. Great ocean breeze. Very close to marina and town. Highly recommend.For some reason Stayz survey asked about our national parks experience. I gave it 5 stars even though there wasn't one because I want to give this property a 5 star overall rating.

Terrific Stay

Everything you could want, spacious, beautiful views, fully equipped kitchen. Only no internet or dryer (my fault, didn’t check but wasn’t a big deal. A great stay and we wish we could have stayed longer, perhaps another time’
