Great location can even see a glimpse of the ocean from the front deck. Bit going on in the front yard with old machines and some gardening work but was pre warned and really wasn't that big of a deal. Would definitely come again.

2 day vacay

Overall the property was great. Front steps not really user friendly. Could do with a railing. The short drive to beach was really good. Would stay again.

Great base to enjoy the best of Straddie

This property was perfect for our family of 3. It had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and it is in a peaceful and convenient location with the added bonus of being able to buy fresh seafood right next door. We are regular visitors to Straddie, it was the first time we have stayed in this area and we would absolutely stay again. Thankyou!

Great couple accommodation

We have stayed here twice and we’re going back for a third time. It’s not beach front but it’s just down the hill. Everything we needed was there and our Labrador enjoyed his stay. No complaints and Mal and Carolyn are very welcomingz

Straddie stay

This is the second time we have stayed here so we were already familiar with th property. Everything we needed was supplied.The bedrooms are a bit tight to move in but otherwise ok.maybe a wall fan in the bunk room? Gets a bit hot when door closed.The addition of the new outside deck giving a water view was great.

Clean, bright and spacious for the 3 of us. Beds were comfy and there were loads of games and DVDs for the hours not spent at the beach. It had everything we needed for storage. Really well-stocked utensils cupboards and drawers. perfect!

Slice of paradise

My family and I stayed for 3 nights and it was great. We didn't take a car so we walked to cylinder etc and Starfish was v close so much so my 6yo walk to/back to the beach. The kitchen is well set up, really appreciated having filtered cold water ready for our arrival. Having a washing machine with laundry powder was a god send too. Great selection of DVDs too. I am already looking for dates to comes back to stay.

Simple & clean

Lovely location but bring everything you need-including pepper gladwrap/foil (large container of salt found)! Outdoor area rather bleak. Books on Minjerribah and local history would also be a welcome addition to the stay. Next door fish outlet fabulous!

Our home away from home

Overall a great place to stay. Beds were really comfortable. Kitchen supplied with lots of utensils to cook, almost like being home. Dishwasher was a plus. Do bring your own coffee, tea, sugar, shampoo, conditioner and soap though.becauce they were not supplied..BBQ on the little deck was a really handy adition. No internet but like most of Straddie. Hard to find a good connection spot. Download maps, food places and places of interest before you come. Penty of dvds and family games in the house so that was very good. Really nicely set up little house. We will definitely be back when at Straddie again.

We had a nice stay at Starfish. It was a peaceful location and the bed was comfortable. Lack of Wi-fi was a little inconvenient but my fault for not checking availability of this first. I wouldn’t recommend this accommodation for family with toddlers as they would probably fall off the patio but there’s heaps of games and DVD’s to help keep older kids entertained when not at the beach etc

Nice enough

Adequate. Poor telephone and mobile coverage. Had a disused tractor in pieces in the front yard. But it did make the place easy to find. My dog was allowed with a dog cage out the back, so that was a big plus.

Perfect for small family with small dog

Lovely small pet friendly house. Everything there what we need and convenient location. Just no phone reception ( with optus ) when we needed to serch next day plan was bit hard. But including the budget it's a perfect house to stay.
