Peaceful Island Escape
This house on South Stradbroke Island is a complete getaway with no shops or supplies nearby. About 3.5km walk through bushland or 5km along the beach to Tippler's Resort which has cafe and basic supplies. Extremely well equipped and well laid out. Very comfortable beds and furnishing. Sauna and dipping pool, amazing sunsets, swim or kayak (kayaks provided) in the canal or walk or ride (bikes provided) to Tipplers and beyond to glorious beaches. Excellent berthing facility.

Our second stay at this property. Even better than the first!
We utilised the property for a weekend meeting of the National Board of Apex Australia. 9 adults had excellent accomodation and plenty of spaces for meetings and social fellowship with all enjoying the spa in the cooler evenings. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with ease of catering for this number.

South Stradbroke Islander-a boaties delight.
Boaties delight, this is a superbly well-presented and well-equipped and very comfortable large family holiday house. In quiet and peaceful surroundings. Perfect getaway from hustle and bustle on mainland. We enjoyed the walks along the beach, and the kayaking and swimming in the canal. Short boat rides to The Bedroom. Heaps of activities for our large family of 3 generations ranging from 12yr old to 77yr old. We love the absence of shops and general feeling of calm.

Fantastic property, Phil (owner) and Claudia (manager) great people. Couple of "party" houses either side of us over weekend brought mood down (relentless drinking and colourful language - not great for kids). Not too bad when we were inside, but did detract from the "vibe". But the property and people who own / manage it were great, can't fault that.

Relaxing island holiday
This property was perfect for our purposes. We had three families of 4 and had plenty of space and activities for us all (kids 12-16 years). The bikes were a big hit, as were the kayaks. It was fantastic to have the pool option too. Jay was super-responsive to all our queries and was a great host. The kitchen had every gadget we could possibly need (except a rolling pin!), and having two dishwashers made our lives so much easier. The house decor was starting to look a bit tired but rumour has it there may be a refresh in the coming months.

Felt like home
There was excitement from the whole family the moment we landed on that pontoon as the house looked amazing from the water. The interior was very well presented and in immaculate condition. Felt like we were at a luxury tropical retreat especially how the master bedroom was decorated, encapsulating a calming Bali sanctuary feel. The whole family had a ball and we definitely took advantage of the amenities available from the outdoor bar fridges for fun beverages, bikes, kayaks, fishing & the pool. The house had everything we needed and so it felt like a home away from home. Lastly, we're thankful for the hospitality from management. They were very welcoming & professional, even going as far providing us with a cup of flour because we had run out haha. We look forward to returning. Thank you Jay!!
