Thankyou for a lovely holiday
My stay was perfect to the point I extended two extra days
My dogs loved the large yard and had their own fun
Will book again if I return to the area
The property is fabulous, spotlessly clean, the hosts have thought of everything, wonderful location, would definately stay again and loved that it was dog friendly.
My son and I enjoyed a lovely few days staying at this beautiful little oasis in Yeppoon. The property is really comfortable and the owners, Alister and Sheena do everything possible to make their guests feel right at home. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy your beautiful property!
The cottage is on a fantastic property. Big garden which was great for the dog. The location is excellent, close to the two shopping malls and not far to the beach. The decor was really smart, everything well set out and immaculately clean.

The property was better than we expected- tucked away and private, very clean, and lovely little touches to get our stay underway in the nicest way! The weather wasn’t great for our visit but the house was so comfy that we were happy just to hang out there. Thank you!
This house is so cute and comfy. The beds are so comfortable and we loved all the little extras the host left us.
We really enjoyed sitting out and listening to the birds in the morning. It’s so quiet and a little off the main beach area, yet very close to everything.
We were on a 3 week road trip in Australia and this was our favorite place! We would recommend it to anyone staying in the Yeppoon area.

All the hard work is worth it when we get reviews like yours. Thank you so much. You guys were awesome guests and deserve 5 stars yourselves. Until next time, safe travels.

12 Hughes street was perfect for our family of 4. Everything was supplied in the house from food and drinks to toiletries and even some lovely touches like a bottle of champagne and nibbles. Our dogs had the use of a big backyard. Location was perfect. Very neat and tidy home that is obviously well looked after . We would love to book this home again when visiting Yeppoon.
What a wonderful property. Everything you could require and more! The property is tranquil and private and yet close to everything. The property has been beautifully renovated and has all the amenities that you would need for your stay.
Great to be able to take our pup with us also and she loved sitting on the deck watching the bird life as did we with a glass of bubbles kindly provided by our hosts.
When back in the area we will definitely be staying again.

Justine & Richard were great guests. They looked after our property and left it in perfect condition. We put a lot of effort into providing a clean, relaxing home away from home and reviews like theirs make the effort worth while. It was a real treat to host them and we would not hesitate to host them again.
Regards
Alister & Sheena
Everything had been thought about. From the gift basket including a bottle of bubbles on arrival to fresh milk and assorted extras in the fridge.
The cleanliness of the property was second to none however the homeliness was not compromised. Most of all we were blown away by the peace and tranquility of our surroundings. We plan to be back next year.

What an absolute wonderful place. Alister & Sheena are wonderful hosts.You couldn't ask for anything else to have a wonderful stay. The welcome basket was wonderful. Chips to have with the Prosecco. Marshmallows & pineapple to toast on the fire pit. We can't speak highly enough of the cottage. Hopefully we will be back again. We hope that everyone looks after this wonderful place so we can continue to bring our furbabies along on holidays Thank you, Alister & Sheena.

Amazing guests from start to finish! Thank you for the 5 star review and for being 5 star guests. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Hughes Hideaway and thanks also for leaving everything in such good condition. We can't wait to welcome you back soon!
We had the most amazing stay at the cottage.
It is exactly as described and photographed.
The area is very quiet, but still very close to everything in the town, with Coles just down the road.
Our dog especially loved the very large yard, which she spent a lot of time sniffing around.
All the little extras that were in place were an added bonus, and we appreciated them immensely.
The bed and bedding were luxurious, and the bedroom large enough for the dog bed as well.
The cottage was meticulously clean.
We wish we could have stayed longer.
