Great house for family and beautifully presented
Children loved the pool and short walk to beach. The house was very comfortable and great for three generations The only slight drawbacks were that the TV in kitchen/ dining area was very temperamental . Sometimes worked really well and at other times came up with message saying no signal review antennae which upset the cricket fans amongst us. However we were not often at home or wanting to turn Tv on so no real problem.The other issue was that the downstairs bedroom was not air conditioned and on hot nights needed to have fan on full . Thank you for a great holiday

Great spot for your next staycation
We were unlucky to have the worst beach weather (wet & wild all week), but we really enjoyed being cooped up together in this house. Great location, lovely pool & deck area with bushy outlook and the sound of crashing waves to fall asleep. Plenty of space for lounging & playing games. And if the sun was shining ….

This location was perfect for our few days away. We easily drove to Coolum for a walk and lunch. There are some nice paths for walking and a quick walk to get to the beach. The house is utterly gorgeous and was very well stocked with everything we needed such as kitchen appliances & utensils.

This house is incredible! First of all it’s stunning and As soon as we entered we could just feel the weight of the world slip off our shoulders and let the holiday begin! It’s so quiet and peaceful, the backdrop of nature and the sounds of the waves makes you feel like your in your own little oasis. Will definitely return!

We had a great weekend and this property was well equipped to house our group of 8. The proximity to the beach was great , however the pool was an added bonus. We had one unforeseeable issue with air con, otherwise a perfect weekend in a great house! Highly recommend and we will be rebooking!

Stunning house in great location
We loved this place! A beautiful house and pool, yes, but also very tranquil. I loved the outlook onto the paperbarks and hearing the ocean so close by. Going to the beach along the boardwalk through the conservation area and walking back with lovely views of Mt Coolum was a treat. Would love stay there again.
