Great spot for young families with the big yard and large entertaining area Be prepared for midges. Two fire pits helped with that. Outdoor shower was the best! Felt like I was back in Bali

Great family house

House was great for what we needed for our stay on Moreton island. Great location allowed us to explore the island. Outdoor space and tyre swing a real bonus for the kids!

Great Family getaway

We stayed as 2 families with young kids (4-5years) and we all had the best time. Perfect size for us. Good outdoor area and KOORINGAL was a great location. Missed the BBQ for cooking but we were told about this before our trip and was understandably hard to fix because of the cyclone slowing down the process. Definitely would recommend for a group of our size (4 adults and 3 kids).

Comfortable

Found the property quite comfortable for adults however probably not The best house for children. The bathroom isn’t located inside the main part of the house which is hard with kids. Overall enjoyed our stay

Hi Ashleigh, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay! I am sorry you found the bathroom an inconvenience with your children. The house is designed island style and is divided by a breezway which allows the house to stay cool in summer. We hope to host you again sometime in the future! Kind Regards, Natasha Gargan

Get rid of BBQ

All good. The BBQ is in a very dangerous state. There is a hol;e in the gas burner line that kept catching on fire. Had to turn it off and cook in open fire.

Feedback

Hi there, Really beautiful area. thanks for letting us stay. Just so you know, the door lock is not there? The door latch itself is fine, but the metal bracket it hooks into is missing. We closed the door and put the key back into the secure lock, but the door itself isnt locked? Please check. thanks Dan

Hi Dan, I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for letting me know about the sliding door. We lock it internally using the deadbolt and then exit through the front door. I would appreciate any feedback you have to ensure your next stay is 5 stars! Many thanks, Kind Regards, Natasha Gargan

Well equipped traditional beach cottage close to great fishing beaches on both sides of the island

We had an amazing time here - caught some wonderful Taylor and Flathead and enjoyed a few cold drinks and light food at the Gutter Bar - the beach cottage is very well equipped and we made good use of the kitchen facilities and the BBQ - being solar driven, sometimes there is not enough hot water for everyone, so first in best dressed - this did not spoil our trip at all. Would definitely recommend this place for a big family as value for money not suited to smaller groups. Great location and Natasha was on the ball with communications in relation to check in and how to get to the property. When taking your own linen, just need fitted sheets and a light doonah cover as doonahs are provided. Take lots of insect repellant for the sand flies on the beach. Had an excellent time.

Hi Linda, I'm so glad that you had a great time and enjoyed our beach house and the fishing! Thanks for the heads up about the hot water, we will look in to turning the gas up on the hot water system. We look forward to hosting you again!
