Welcome to a Queenslander-inspired cottage, where a stroll through the leafy front gate and up timber steps leads into a home layered with character, charm, and laid-back tropical style. Inside, the living area invites you to stretch out on velvet seating layered over a vintage rug, flick through a book, or unwind with a film on the smart TV, all surrounded by expressive artwork.

The kitchen is compact yet fully equipped, blending retro character with modern practicality. A gas stove, oven, microwave and dishwasher make daily routines a pleasure. Nearby, the dining area feels intimate yet expressive, with a mid-century timber table set over woven rugs and framed by bold decoration items, the perfect backdrop for shared meals. After dining, wander along a stone path through the lush backyard to your private pool, ideal for a refreshing dip. Tucked nearby, a covered patio with cushioned seating offers a relaxed setting for easy conversation, surrounded by tropical greenery.

Beyond, the two queen bedrooms are serene retreats, thoughtfully styled with soft linen, calming tones and leafy outlooks, perfect for restful nights. The two bathrooms share a relaxed feel, one with a combined soaking tub and shower, the other with a shower and toilet beside the laundry. A full washer and dryer setup is neatly tucked behind the living area, ideal for longer stays.

When it’s time to catch up on work, a dedicated workspace with a timber desk, artisan lamp, ergonomic chair and Marshall speaker offers a focused yet inspiring environment. Stay cool with split-system air conditioning and ceiling fans in the bedrooms, living and dining areas. Off-street parking is available for two cars in the private driveway.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
