LARGE ENTERTAINMENT AND DINING AREAS
Both the verandah and dining tables cater for 10.

EXTENSIVE LIBRARY OF GAMES AND BOOKS
As a holiday home, furnished to support broad family demographics, it contains a large library of games, beach toys and books to entertain both young and old on the days you are not exploring the island.

There is also a library of reference books on K'gari (Fraser Island) and the surrounds, along with books to help identify local birds and fish, for those thirsty to learn more about the Island.

BEDROOMS
The master bedroom is located on the second floor. It has an ensuite and separate sitting room complete with a lounge suite, table and chairs, fridge and tea and coffee making facilities.

The main downstairs bedroom has a queen bed, lots of cupboards, and plenty of room to accommodate a porta cot (provided along with change mat, high chair and baby gate) or additional bed.

There is second queen bedroom downstairs, plus two rooms each with a set of double bunks. There is a spare mattress under each of the sets of bunks in case your guests are not sharing the queen beds.

SHEARWATER
Shearwater is well equipped to cater for up to 10 guests, including kitchen and baking equipment and basic supplies.

The house is off grid, powered solar energy, with a back up generator that automatically starts when the battery power is low. The solar energy powers the two fridge/freezers, dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine and milk frother, electric toaster, kettle, microwave, slow cooker and rice cooker, handheld mixer and blender

The barbecue and stove top run on gas, with instant Rinnai gas hot water supplying the house.



As the house is isolated, with no access to regular cleaners, we ask that you leave the house as you found it, cleaning the house on exit. More information is available on the Shearwaterfraserisland site.

HAPPY VALLEY
Shearwater is at Happy Valley, a small township half way up the east coast of the island protected by a dingo proof fence. Drive up into the Valley, and the house is just past the Retreat on the road to Lake Garrawongera. Fuel (both diesel and petrol), a limited range of food, alcohol and souvenirs can be purchased from the Retreat. Along with the shop, the Retreat also has a Bistro and bar operating 7 days a week, and is just a 1 minute walk from the house so an easy alternative to cooking every night.

GETTING TO K'GARI
The beach is the main road on K'Gari, so a four wheel drive vehicle is essential for visiting Shearwater. Vehicular ferries run from both River Heads, Hervey Bay and Inskip Point, north of Rainbow Beach.
