I rarely write a review but this is an exceptional stay. The house was perfect in every way for our family of four. Spotlessly clean, every amenity available, great coffee machine, BBQ annd utensils are in excellent condition, and clean comfy beds. So convenient for our day trips to Lady Elliott Island and K’gari. Great spot for fish n chips nearby etc. Quick walk to the beach for a morning swim. Stay here!

What a very pleasant surprise this cottage was. Better than pics on website. Very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and bathrooms were well presented. Back verandah has view of back yards, lovely outdoor chairs and BBQ. Neighbourhood is very quiet. Good location with access to beach. Would highly recommend. We will be back.

Had a great stay, desperately needs some sensor activated outdoor lighting at rear, cannot see a thing when you come back at night making back steps etc a little unsafe. For boaters an external power outlet would be greatly appreciated, running an extension lead from the main bedroom was not ideal.This prob all exists in the shed, however no access.No sink in the kitchen is certainly different lol.Overall the property is great, suited us to a tee. Will most likely be back in August 26
