About this house rental
Large and comfortable Coastal Queenslander, styled for a relaxed vacation for the quiet we all desire. No earplugs required unless you want to deaden the sound of silence! We have carefully restored this tired old vintage to a youthful house that has an energy to invoke the most dormant talent in you.
We have a full spacious kitchen, seperate dining, lounge room that connects to the super comfy verandah, 3 bedrooms, great laundry, seperate powder room and bathroom. The yards are spacious, and the back deck invites you out for sunbathing, a cold beer, and the spectacular night sky, so bring your telescope.
The house is situated between a wonderful lake that is home to some rare birds and wildlife and the beach which is a fantastic wildlife and beach combing location, as well as the kiteboarding you can do on such a flat open bay with no boat traffic to negate. We are pet friendly, but ask you to be a responsible pet owner. The home is fully fenced, but has many young plants to be conscious of. The restaurant up the road 'Goodies' and 'The Salty Squid' are dog friendly, so you can include your pets in your holiday here.
For whale, scuba, fishing and Fraser island enthusiasts, tours can be booked in Hervey Bay, which is only 20min away.
convenience stores are from 5 minutes away to major shopping complex 15 min.
Off-road cycling tracks are behind the lake near the community hall.
Wetland walking tracks are close by too.

The house was beautiful, very clean and cosy, had everything we needed. Very convenient to stay with pets. The whole village is very quiet and people are friendly.

This property surpassed all of our expectations! It is the only restored home on the street amongst many more modern-looking houses. When we drove up and were looking for the address, I crossed my fingers and thought, "Let that house be ours..." and it was! Sonya has outdone herself. Susie, the neighbor/housekeeper, told us that Sonya is "very hands-on and did a lot of the restoration herself." If you like retro places with tons of charm, this is the place for you! I was worried about staying so far from Hervey Bay, but in all honesty, I wasn't that impressed with Hervey, and I was happy we stayed in Toogoon instead! The best part is the beach, which is a short 5-minute walk from the property. All I can say is, "OMG!" Never in my life have I seen a beach that compares to this one! It was spectacular. Even my photos don't do it justice. It stretched for miles in all directions, and there was hardly a soul to be seen but me. It isn't often a place is THIS perfect. Thanks for making your beautiful home available to us, Sonya. We hope to return one day soon.

My husband and I took our dog away for a long weekend of beach time and relaxation, which is exactly what we got here. :)
Only 2 blocks away from the beach, we were able to visit multiple times a day.
The front porch was our favourite spot to enjoy the breeze with our pup after a day of sun.
The interior of the house is simple and rustic, with everything you need for a comfortable short stay.
There are plenty of places to visit locally and just a short drive away for some activities or food and drinks out, but the cooking facilities also made it easy to stay in.
We had a great vacation and are already trying to find time in our schedule to come back for another long weekend!
