My kids and i very much enjoyed our stay at Brendans beach house. Everything was neat and tidy. Nice size rooms with good airconditioning and comfortable beds. Large deck out the back with bbq was good when we had visiting family members. House is positioned a sreet away from patroled beach and was only a few minutes walk to a beautifull dog friendly beach.The area has a quite layed back feel to it wich we all loved. And what made our holiday so special was that our french bulldog could sit on the couch next to us inside like he does at home. I would recomend this to anyone that wants to holiday with your dog.

We had a beautiful relaxing break at Brendan’s place. Beach access is as close as walking 3 houses up, the beds are comfortable, there is a great deck out the back and Brendan is a wonderful communicator and generous host.This place had everything we needed for us and our poodle with a lot of great walks and other beaches a very quick drive away as well. Especially appreciative that our poodle was allowed inside and we will definitely be back. Thanks Brendan

Great home close to the beach

Well appointed home, that has everything you need. Also located very close to the beach which was amazing. Great verandah to sit out on. The beach was dog-friendly on-leash so our dogs loved it, also a great yard for them to run in.

A perfect stay for our family! Comfortable house and facilities. The yard and back deck was great for our dogs. Enough room for us to bring the boat and paddle boards. A very short walk to the beach but longer walkways to various lookouts. We saw whales from the submarine lookout, explored the rock pools, swam at the patrolled beach and went paddling in the more protected area. Great spot!

A welcome sea breeze

A comfortable and cute cottage with a great outdoor deck that captures the sea breeze on the hot summer days. The cottage provided all the necessities for a laid back summer holiday. A/C and fans in all the rooms making it comfortable. Walking distance to a patrolled beach and the rock pools. A comfortable home for a family get together lounging and dining on the back deck. A very pleasant say.

Disgraceful the host has a screw loose

“I am utterly dismayed and compelled to share a stark warning about my recent experience with this property’s host. It was an absolute nightmare! The host’s behavior crossed all bounds of decency, bombarding me with a relentless torrent of messages, day and night, each one more unsettling and intrusive than the last. This unrelenting harassment cast a dark shadow over my entire stay, turning what should have been a peaceful retreat into a distressing ordeal. I implore you to heed my advice: avoid this property at all costs, lest you find yourself trapped in a similar, harrowing saga.”

Host Brendan has made it very easy to stay. He has thought of everything. This place is a home away from home. Brendan answers queries promptly and check in was a simple process This property allows you to have your pets inside but you will spend your days on the awesome back deck listening to the ocean and soaking up the sun. There is a bar fridge on the deck so drinks easy to procure. There is the most fantastic walking area at river mouth - acres of sand to explore and it’s a one minute walk away. The house is clean and beds are extremely comfortable. This is our third stay at this property and I highly recommend it.

Absolutely fantastic location with walking distance to the beach and cafe which had the best ice creams for our Grandkids who live in Bundaberg. Would definitely recommend to friends as it really was the perfect place to stay.

The best dog friendly place we’ve ever stayed at!

From the moment we walked in the door, we loved this place! Everything you could need and more to have a nice comfortable stay for you and your dog/s! Us humans enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen, smart TV, beautiful balcony where we ate all of our meals and the convenience of a fully equipped laundry. But the most important guest (our dog,) was impressed by the huge grassy back yard, the comfy couch he was allowed to snooze on and the short walk to the beach.

The Perfect Getaway

We had such an amazing stay at this beach house in Elliott Heads! It was perfect for our little family — including our two puppies, who absolutely loved the space to roam and relax. The house was super comfortable, well-equipped, and just a short stroll to the beach (which made all the difference with kids and dogs in tow!). We had everything we needed, and the communication from the owner was spot on, friendly, helpful, and easy. As someone who loves to cook while away we weren’t short of all the essential equipment as well as an epic BBQ. It was such a peaceful, relaxing getaway. We’ll definitely be back!
