Lizard Lodge - architect designed country retreat

The open plan lounge, dining and kitchen opens onto the big wraparound deck with outdoor dining setting and BBQ, perfect relaxing as the sun goes down. The pot belly stove ( BYO firewood) will keep the house toasty on those cold winter nights and for lounging in front of the TV. Unfortunately, there is no Wifi at the property.

Tucked away amongst the trees
The tranquility is perfect! Tucked away from people, unwanted traffic of any type, the property offers that ambiance. Lots of vegetation and with that comes the noises of fauna: early morning birds, frogs ....lot's of wildlife if you like and enjoy it. Located far away from the nearest beach, lots of mosquitos ( wetlands around ) and frogs. Need to be careful at night not to step of the lovely hoppers. Sheets and beds were clean but everything else not so clean. The living area and the kitchen had a lot of dust, spider webs, cabinets not clean also. The living area furniture and the deck furniture is very old and unkept. Needs a good clean as well. No A/C in the main living area. No where to hide inside from the devouring mosquitoes in the evenings. Very hot inside. It has ceiling fans but they don't do the cooling on hot days and evenings. Quite uncomfortable! The price is not justified.I would not book again this property.

Perfect family getaway
We loved this property. Just as advertised. We enjoyed outdoor fires, breakfast on the deck among trees and wildlife and the kids being older enjoyed their own space. It is close to a number of beaches, Coolum, Peregian & Noosa. Location is perfect. We recommend for a family getaway.

Nice place but could be better
Lovely place 10 mins drive to shopping centres and beaches but could do without bugs mosquitoes & other unwanted insects, We stayed for 10days half the time was raining we had no clothes dryer to dry our clothes, the indoor clothes line was pretty small for 10 adults Probably needed better communication with cleaners etc & host We had no gas on the bbq bottle had to go and buy a new bottle and no where to put out rubbish first couple of days because the council bins weren’t emptied.Needed thorough overall cleaning inside as some inside corner walls had cobwebs

Peaceful rustic retreat
We loved staying on this property. The alternative style was lovely and we really felt relaxed staying here. A nice private, quiet property, you feel like sitting in the bush. A 10 min drive to a lovely beach. We will consider booking again !

Spacious and relaxing
Lizard Lodge has a very open and relaxing feel. We enjoyed the spacious deck and separateness of the main house from the bedrooms. Unfortunately we stayed during a week of wet weather which also meant masses of insects. It was very difficult to keeping them outside.

Great location
We loved the bush location while still being so close to the beach, & we loved the outdoor fire experience, it felt a bit like camping! Unfortunately the property was not cleaned to standard & we had a few maintenance issues. I do suggest a comfier couch & also making it clearer in the listing that there is zero security in the property & that the rooms open to the outside, as this may not suit all families.

Bush retreat
We stayed here with our two grandchildren 7 and 8 for an emotional recharge. The kids loved the adventure of exploring this interesting property. They were too scared to stay in the bunk room on their own though and there was a fair bit of bed swapping. We loved the natural environment. If you like the bush and no visible neighbours you will love it.

Wonderful stay with friends
Our family stayed here recently with 2 other families with small children and we loved it! Fire pit & pot belly stove for the chilly nights and great outdoor entertaining area when its warm. We all loved the outdoor shower. Its close enough to the beach and the shops but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. I highly recommend this property.
