Great home close to the beach

Well appointed home, that has everything you need. Also located very close to the beach which was amazing. Great verandah to sit out on. The beach was dog-friendly on-leash so our dogs loved it, also a great yard for them to run in.

The Perfect Getaway

We had such an amazing stay at this beach house in Elliott Heads! It was perfect for our little family — including our two puppies, who absolutely loved the space to roam and relax. The house was super comfortable, well-equipped, and just a short stroll to the beach (which made all the difference with kids and dogs in tow!). We had everything we needed, and the communication from the owner was spot on, friendly, helpful, and easy. As someone who loves to cook while away we weren’t short of all the essential equipment as well as an epic BBQ. It was such a peaceful, relaxing getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

Charming Pet Friendly Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at this pet-friendly cottage! It was perfectly appointed, cosy, and felt like a charming home away from home. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making it the ideal retreat for both us and our furry companion. The host was incredibly responsive and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our stay. A genuine thank you for sharing such a beautiful holiday home—we look forward to returning!

A perfect stay for our family! Comfortable house and facilities. The yard and back deck was great for our dogs. Enough room for us to bring the boat and paddle boards. A very short walk to the beach but longer walkways to various lookouts. We saw whales from the submarine lookout, explored the rock pools, swam at the patrolled beach and went paddling in the more protected area. Great spot!

Lovely little shack that accommodated my family perfectly for our 4 might stay over Easter. Perfectly located a short walking distance from the best beach on the Bundaberg coastline and very convenient for launching a boat to go fishing. I loved the stay so much I have started looking around for similar properties in the area to purchase as a holiday home.

Perfect location! Walking distance to beach, cafe & convenience store. Comfortable home with extras catered for ie board games, dog bowls, condiments. Easy place to relax & enjoy Elliott Heads.

Great beach getaway house

Extremely comfortable and well presented house in a great location. The house is well furnished, with an open deck and private backyard. Only a couple of minutes walk to both the beach and river. A tip: bring some insect repellant if you're planning to be outside.

A welcome sea breeze

A comfortable and cute cottage with a great outdoor deck that captures the sea breeze on the hot summer days. The cottage provided all the necessities for a laid back summer holiday. A/C and fans in all the rooms making it comfortable. Walking distance to a patrolled beach and the rock pools. A comfortable home for a family get together lounging and dining on the back deck. A very pleasant say.

The Beach House First Time Air B&B

Everything you could need was there from a potato masher,oil, salt and a cricket set. Beautiful Beach House in a beautiful community. Best spot for kids, beach is right there and huge space for sport and games all visible from the back veranda. Big comfy beds with luxury linen, huge yard for the dogs including balls to throw and beds, everyone felt right at home, so we could just soak up family and make memories. We will be back soon!!!!

Perfect home away from home

What a beautiful home to stay in. The location is ideal being so close to the beautiful Elliott Heads beach and river. We love the decor and comfy beds and furnishings. Being able to bring our dog meant we could fully relax knowing our fur baby was safe and happy with us. The patio is lovely to sit on and enjoy a BBQ or read a book. We loved the rock pools as well. Rain, hail or shine, this is a perfect place to stay. We enjoyed venturing out sightseeing and discovering the many beautiful beaches and national parks nearby. Shopping was a breeze with Bundaberg being so close and convenient. We will definitely be back. Our host Brendan was more than obliging, going above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable and trouble free stay. We will definitely be back and hope it is sooner rather than later.

Disgraceful the host has a screw loose

“I am utterly dismayed and compelled to share a stark warning about my recent experience with this property’s host. It was an absolute nightmare! The host’s behavior crossed all bounds of decency, bombarding me with a relentless torrent of messages, day and night, each one more unsettling and intrusive than the last. This unrelenting harassment cast a dark shadow over my entire stay, turning what should have been a peaceful retreat into a distressing ordeal. I implore you to heed my advice: avoid this property at all costs, lest you find yourself trapped in a similar, harrowing saga.”
