Old-world rustic charm Queenslander, 30 km North of Mackay on Bruce Highway

Our house is a high-set 'Queenslander' with old-world rustic charm. The house is at Kuttabul, on a 1000 sq meter block. Kuttabul is about 30 Km North of Mackay. I love looking up at the night sky at the amazing massive stars shining brightly at Kuttabul. I love how most of the rooms in the house have 3-meter-high ceilings and timber floors. It is an uncluttered space with minimum furniture, so it's quite spacey. Guests have access to a private living room, kitchen, and sunroom (with a small table and 4 chairs for dining). The master bedroom has a view of Mt Blackwood. It has a comfortable double bed, bedside table and lamp, a large built-in wardrobe, and a renovated ensuite with shower, handbasin, and toilet. When three or four guests have booked to stay, there is a second bedroom with an inflated queen-size double-height mattress and one single-bed mattress on the floor. Guests who stay in the second bedroom will need to bring their sheets, pillows, and blankets as only the master bedroom has bedding provided. The second bedroom should not be used when only two guests are staying. The living room has a large timber TV cabinet with a new 32" TV and a comfortable old 2-seater couch where you can sit back, relax, and watch TV or look out the window and watch our neighbor's horse chewing the grass. The TV cabinet also has two computer nooks, consisting of sturdy shelves at desk height where you can sit and set up your laptop. Unfortunately, there is no WIFI yet but we are working on setting it up as soon as possible. The sunroom has a small table and two director chairs where you can eat your meals and enjoy the pleasant view of palms in the large front yard with Mt Blackwood in the distance. The kitchen is quite large, complete with an electric stove top and oven and plenty of bench space and cupboards. You will find saucepans, a frying pan, cutlery, and crockery enough for four people. There is a 'bar' fridge with a small freezer space. The second bathroom is locked and should not be used. Guests will have access to the large yard with a lovely view of hills, trees, and a sugar cane plantation. The floorboards have a few scratches, and there's a bit of chipped paint on some of the walls, so, it's more like an old farmhouse than a polished shiny palace. It is a two-storey house but our guests will only have access to the top level. The first level is currently unoccupied. The house is set back about 40 meters from the Bruce Highway (one lane each way) so you will hear cars and the occasional truck passing by. There is a small grocery store and petrol station about 100 m from the house. The store also sells sandwiches and hot fast food etc.. Marian shopping center is just a 10-minute drive South. Mackay City is about a 30 Km drive South. Beautiful Cape Hillsborough and Seaforth beaches are about a 30-minute drive from Kuttabul.
BY THE WAY, the review our first and only 'guest' left was untrue and exaggerated. He stayed for just a few hours whereas we have lived there for several years so we know our place much better than him. He made untrue and exaggerated negative comments about our house, Specifically that it was not clean. We cleaned our house before his stay (no one had stayed there after we cleaned it). He stayed Saturday night and left Sunday morning. We have a witness that our house was clean. Our cleaner arrived to do routine cleaning and to change bedding etc. Sunday afternoon. She said it was clean when she arrived after they left. The bed had brand new bedding on it as these guests were our first guests after we signed up with STAYZ. Also, we lived in this house for many years and there is NOT a continuous noise from trucks all night. None of our tenants have complained about truck noise. Our house is approx. 50 meters back from the road. Most likely less than 5 trucks pass by on a Saturday night and most trucks would pass before 9 pm and in the morning after 7 am. Very few in the middle of the night. So this complaint was untrue or grossly exaggerated.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Travelled with partner
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Water was turned off and no response from owners on how to fix it until many hours later. Stairs unsafe - one very rotten and hand rail very loose and wobbly. Shower water pressure so low it was actually ridiculously hard to get wet and wash your body, let alone your hair. Garden very unkept. Not rustic but old and mismatched decor.
