Fun and spacious island getaway

If you're looking for a place to stay at south stradbroke, this is the place. Much cheaper prices for groups than booking directly through the resort whilst also being very spacious and accommodating. The host generously supplied a few bicycles free of charge to assist in movement around the island. The check in process was easy and the communication was more than sufficient.

Great place for a relaxed family holiday

The property is a little tired, but clean and comfortable and has quite a flexible configuration to fit all sorts of family assortments. It is on three levels with lots of outdoor veranda space, luckily all of which is protected with mozzie screens. The cooking facilities are a little basic with a hob (only 3 gas rings work), microwave, and air fryer, but with some preplanning they are workable for most recipes. Outside there is a good BBQ. We ordered our groceries online to collect at Woolworths in Runaway Bay, then took a water taxi from Runaway Bay to the island. This was a good idea as the shop on the island is very basic and the restaurant requires reservations and is expensive. We were also 7 people including kids, so it was cheaper than taking the resort ferry. Being on the island really requires a bike. The ecolodge is about 15-20 minutes walk from the main resort, or about 5 mins by bike. Our main complaint about the property was that the decent bikes which were provided were all locked up with very strong combination locks which we were never given the codes for (despite asking several times). Luckily we managed to cobble together 4 bikes because we took a bike tool, an inner tube and a puncture kit (bolt cutters might be more useful). This is a necessity as the bikes are in bad shape. Alternatively they can be rented on the island for $30 per person per day. Bikes also allow exploring along the beach tracks and up to Tipplers which is worth a visit (about 3 Kms) for lunch. A good holiday with plenty to do, despite many of the resort activities no longer being available. The pools, beaches, mini golf, kayaks (for a price), lots of biking trails, tennis, basketball and games room are all still active. We can recommend this property for a relaxed family holiday.

Great weekend away

Had a blast over on south Stradbroke. Ryan’s place was perfect for myself and my mates, enough beds for us all. Be mindful that it’s a bit of a walk from the resort facilities to the cabin, especially when carrying luggage and esky’s on check in/out. Hiring some bikes for all other times is the way to go.

Enjoyable trip

Renting this property was an easy process. The host was lovely to deal with and quick to respond to messages. The property is what was expected. Mainland was accessible when needed. Bar and cafe close by for convenience. Family and friends enjoyed the trip and location.

Great low key family holiday

Little bit run down, toilets both need maintenance but a small complaint, really good family holiday with lots to see and do. Weekend there is a lot more happening, recommend hiring bikes to get around.

Great little getaway for large group stay

Everything you need in a holiday cabin. Property managers easy to communicate and quick to respond to any queries. A little rundown but serves its purpose. So quiet and peaceful there!

Family catch up

This eco cabin was great! A short 10 minutes walk away from everything. The wildlife was amazing with hand feeding of kangaroos and goannas keeping the kids entertained for hours. The unit had loads of extras with movies, books, games and was in a quiet area where the kids could safely ride their bikes. The only recommendation for travellers is make sure to take insert spray as being in a rainforest there are plenty of mosquitos outside that just about carry you away. It is great that the balconies are fully screened so you can sit outside without a hassle.

The eco cabin was well appointed and cozy!!

Overall experience of our first visit to South Stradbroke was average. The place has great potential and the concept is great however the set is really run down and if nothing is being done soon the place will close!!

Great location, everything provided

We did love our stay here and it was a great location. We had access to everything we needed for our stay. Couple of minor things in regards to cleanliness but overall very happy. Owner was great to book through and had no issues in regards to this.
