The space:

We're excited to share our amazing rural acreage retreat with you. The absolute beauty, calmness, stylishness and abundance of bird and wildlife is what drew us to this property, and we know you will enjoy it immensely too!

About the home:

"Moorina Retreat" offers a stylish, softly retro, nostalgic style, yet with modern convenience, and will have you instantly feeling comfortably at home. Here you can enjoy the peacefulness of nature and come back to relax after a day exploring the Moreton Bay Region and the Sunshine Coast.

Accommodation for up to 2 couples or 4 adults (sharing) in 2 air-conditioned bedrooms with king size beds which each lead out onto a private west facing deck with elevated views into the trees and the abundant birdlife – the perfect morning coffee spot.

Relax in a supremely comfortable air-conditioned Lounge area and games room with pool table with various lounging and seating arrangements, an indoor bar and leading onto a private deck and the main home’s deck (with a folding screen for added privacy).

The entertainers deck offers a spectacular view with outdoor lounging, dining seating and a fabulous Kamado Joe BBQ and overlooks the September to May heated to 27-degree Celsius saltwater pool and Bali-style day bed, all of which are available for you to enjoy.

Fully equipped kitchen:

Combination oven microwave
Induction hob with vented extraction
Butler's sink
Filtered water
Full size dishwasher
Nespresso Gran Lattissima capsule coffee machine
Toaster
Kettle
Air fryer
Ample quality crockery and cutlery.
Spices, oils, salt & pepper are. provided

There is a shower room with basin and toilet, as well as an additional separate full toilet and vanity.

Parking:
Ample open secure parking for 2 cars, next to the house and close to the apartment. We also have a larger open parking area should you have a caravan/trailer/boat in tow which is about 100m away from the apartment. If using this, then we’ll happily help cart luggage and supplies down the driveway with our electric buggy.

Internet access -
The property has Starlink (Tesla) satellite wi-fi throughout. Speeds vary but usually up to 250 mbps depending on the number of overhead satellites.

Guest access
We welcome weekend breaks, checking in on Thursday's or Friday's and because we know how annoying it is to check out early on a Sunday, we invite you to stay later with an up to 6pm checkout!

The apartment has its own access from the rear fenced courtyard, or via the expansive front deck - you have access to the entire apartment and all amenities on the property.

Other things to note
We will provide a hamper consisting of a few food staples such as eggs, pastries, bread, breakfast cereals, tea bags, coffee pods, milk and sugar to help you settle in on your first morning.

Things to note as we like to be fully transparent:

This 1,054 sq ft (98m2) large self-contained apartment is attached to the main house.

Our little Maltese poodles Custard, Cookie and Candy, are very friendly, well behaved, and live mostly indoors in our home. They wouldn't ordinarily interact with you unless you want to say hello to them. If you are uncomfortable with dogs, then please let us know ahead of your stay and we'll l make sure they don't bother you.

We are an acreage on the mountain/bush, so as is normal here in Queensland you may encounter the occasional sighting of our much-loved Carpet Python and the odd other snake - very rare though. All doors and windows have insect screens, and the home is extremely secure from any critters.

Best VRBO ever
This was an absolute perfect home. Set in paradise in the woods with beautiful landscaping, heated pool and hot tub...we did not want to leave. The house itself is beautifully decorated. The hosts have not forgotten a thing...high end soft cotton bamboo linens (which were ironed!), a selection of pillows, any personal item you could think of (in case you forgot something), food for snacks and breakfast and the newest coffee maker. And so clean! Set off the beaten path in an absolutely stunning location, we saw kangaroos, wallabies and so many birds...you could hear the birds in the morning. The hosts live next door and were so attentive. This is by far the nicest VRBO we have ever rented on our world travels. Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us!

Best getaway yet
If your after a quiet country stay this is the place. Everything about the place was carefully thought-out, it was beautifully presented and the attention to details left us wanting for nothing. From the selection of sleeping pillows to the appliances and little gift basket it was clear the owner provided an experience they would want to. Packs of kangaroos or wallabies roaming around and a huge selection of birds, it's perfect to just get out of the city. It's also not so far that you can't drive and go out for breakfast or dinner. I can't say enough nice things about the place, the owners are so nice and really seem to go out of their way to make sure we had a great time. Thank you again Brendon and Cliff

About the host

Hosted by Brendon

Host profile image
My husband I love travelling and we are kind, caring and considerate guests and hosts.

We love nothing more than to ensure that we treat your home with respect, love and kindness, always leaving it at least in the condition way we found it and we like to think that our home will be treated the same way.

We are incredibly proud of our beautiful, tranquil, slice of paradise and can't wait to share it with you! I give my guests space but am available when needed. As per the photo on the listing, your stylish, self-contained and spacious house-sized apartment is attached to our home, so we will be available if you should need us.

We have three little white, hypo-allergenic Maltese dogs, who live indoor on our side of the property, but they are very friendly and won't mind a cuddle from you, but you are equally welcome not to interact with them at all.

They don't generally bark or make a noise but may get excited when you arrive for the first time.

Why they chose this property

Moorina Retreat is a one-of-a-kind, beautiful and stylish home on the foothills of the fabulous Mount Mee just 45 minutes north of Brisbane towards the Sunshine Coast.

We love the tranquil environment, the beautiful views over the property, the interaction with nature (Wallabies, bird life etc.). We went out of our way to create wonderful amenities for guests to enjoy, like the year-round 27-degree hearted resort-style pool, the Bali daybed (yes, made in Bali too!) with Bail-style fan - think of it as a relaxing haven to get away from everyday stresses yet it is so close to the city and many other surrounding towns.
