Very nice and cosy cabin. Goats, sheep and cows were fun to feed with bread provided. Yes, 10 mins to the beach. Cabin had everything. Kitchen stuff, bedding, toiletries. Bed is very comfortable. Big fire spot with benches. Lovely view over the pond. Lots of birds live there. We loved it and will definitely be back.

Great place to stay if travelling with your dog. Big, safe fenced area with the lilypond/ dam. Cows in the paddock nearby and heaps of bird life on the water. 2 pelicans even arrived to feed. Not far into Coolum to wonderful Stumers Creek off leash dog beach. Property looks like an old farm shed but very comfortable and cosy inside. Stayed 3 nights and had a great sleep every night.

It was our second stay here and we had a wonderful time. The cabin has everything you need and the property is beautiful. Douglas was attentive to any questions we had. Unfortunately we had to cut our time short due to illness which was disappointing but my partner and I and our French bulldog had a very relaxing time.

Very relaxing experience for both us and our dogs. Far enough away from town to get the country feel, but close enough to access the whole of the Sunshine Coast. Coolum Beach still the best dog friendly beach we have been to. We had a great relaxing time.

The dog loved it!....and so did we.Marilyn, covering for Douglas, was very welcoming.The dam is only 2 metres from the front door, and it is teaming with Birdlife and beautiful lilypillies.Within 10 min, you have fantastic dog friendly restaurants at Coolum, and the Stummer Creek dog "off the leash" area is the best I've seen!Only negative is the clunky Stayz system.
