Great house
Was a double birthday celebration. Had a great time. But one lot of beds are in a hall way and not a proper bedroom. So that was a bit disappointing. As we had 11 people and 5 couples and a single. Photo is a bit misleading about it being in a seperate room.

Fabulous Fins where Fishing is a Plus
We are a group of 5-6 (5 this year) who spend a week fishing Fraser each year. We had stayed at Eurong, Cathedrals and Happy Valley in past years, this was our first stay at Fins. We all found the accommodation and amenities provided at Fins to be first class, very comfortable and well equipped, plenty of room for each of us to have a room and some separation. The kitchens were great, especially the upstairs one where we all tended to congregate at meals times and in the lounge afterwards, in front of the digital TV. There was plenty of fridge and freezer capacity and nothing wanting in the cupboards and drawers. Great, great, great!!! Thanks to the owner for the quality and attention to detail.

Great relaxing week on Fraser
The house is great! We all really enjoyed our week here and looking to book again next year. The appliances and utilities are all in good condition. The new upstairs BBQ (Weber Genesis) was fantastic!!! Thank you to the building maintenance couple in Bob and Dee who were easy to talk to, great for knowledge and really welcomed us.

F%+king EPIC
My wife and I stayed at FINNS for our honeymoon. We hired the whole house for just the two of us! It was amazing. Perfect location on the island. Happy Valley was such a vibe, a stroll to the local pub and all the neighbours just lovely. The house, yard and amenities all in great condition. Would highly recommend this property. Bob were amazing to deal with. And have the place in top shape. The brand new Webber was a stand out.

Perfect house for a Fraser getaway
We had a wonderful stay at Fins. Great location and the house has everything you need. Loved that everyone had a bathroom… very spacious ! My only feedback would be that the top BBQ doesn’t really heat up and definitely needs some attention… but we had a baby Q so it wasn’t a problem for us🤗 Thanks and we’ll be back!
