Imagine waking up in the morning to the sound of singing birds, with the sunlight streaming into your bedroom window.
Looking out your bedroom window, through the trees you can see the sun glinting on a calm ocean, lapping at a white sandy beach that lies just 50 metres from the back of the house. You can smell the fresh sea air, and perhaps hear the gentle rolling of the waves. You look down and see the secluded path from your backyard leading to the beach just 50 paces away, beckoning; and all at once the frantic pace of your normally hectic and busy life seems like a million miles away. Welcome to BEACHFRONT REST!

Great property for extended family to share with easy access to beach and all the facilities we needed. Kids had a wonderful time on the beach. Easy drive to Hervey Bay and surrounds. Great cafes x 2 walking distance from house.

Our accommodation was well set up and had everything we needed. The young adults and teenagers enjoyed using the table tennis table. We love the quiet and tranquility of beautiful Toogoom.
We wanted a quiet catch up for a group of old friends - wonderful and relaxing - good kitchen facilities and plenty of seating indoor and out. Very comfortable

Lovely property and location - perfect for our family and puppy. House was exactly as described, beautiful kitchen and plenty of room for all including our 4 month old puppy. So close to beach. Thanks heaps
The house, whilst dated, was very well fitted out and had everything you could possible need. The location couldn't be better and having direct beach access was great. Hugh communicated promptly and clearly leading up to our arrival and the whole check-in process was easy.
I would recommend this property for anyone looking to have a nice relaxing holiday in Toogoom.
We had an incredible stay. House was incredibly clean with lots of thoughtful extras.
It is so nice to go away and not have to bring linen. Great space for kids and adults.
Our dog was welcomed and had a fabulous stay as well.
Hugh is very responsive to messages and any issues. We are already booked again.
Wow wow..where do I start......, the house was great, the location excellent, all the extras that made our stay so special was a lovely surprise so overall our stay was much much more than I ever imagined. Thank you Hugh, I will certainly be recommending to my friends.

Hugh’s Property is so lovely, comfy beds and there was enough space for everyone! We saw turtles whilst SUP’ing in the inlet. We all had lots of fun with the ping pong table and all the added extra’s. Was so easy with all the supplies in the kitchen. Overall, highly recommend for big groups who want to take a time out!

This is our 8th year holidaying in Toogoom and our 3rd stay at Beach Rest. We couldn’t love it more. Host and manager are very responsive and considerate.The extra aircons a welcome addition on those extreme hot days. The clearing of the back area gives you now such a lovely view of the creek and beyond. The renovated bathroom and kitchen make everything seem so bright and airy. It’s such a good place for all generations from small kids, teens, young adults to the grown ups. Sleep, swim, walk, fish, eat and repeat. Thank you again Hugh, Sue and Gail.

Beachfront Rest
The house was great. Unfortunately the weather turned nasry after first couple of days which turned the beach water into mangrove tea colour. So swimming was only for the brave. Otherwise it was a very enjoyable stay.

Hi Peter,
Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Pity to hear the weather was so wet for some of the time.
Hugh was wonderful to deal with. A lovely home. The area so peaceful, right on the beach. The home itself caters to large families. A great layout letting people relax and have opportunities to chill out in their own space. Great rumpus games areas. Everything one could need and more. A bonus having linen supplied. All the appliances and implements required for a great stay. All soaps supplied. Making a very easy and comfortable stay. We will be back
