Fact File
What to wear?
As you will transfer from Mission Beach by boat you'll need to wade through shallow waters and assist with luggage/groceries from/to the beach, boat and is suggested that you have shoes that are easily removed, and maybe a change of clothes eg shorts. In winter the evenings can be cool so please pack some warm clothes.
What to pack?
Basically as little as possible. A few casual clothes and one pair of shoes, maybe some sandals or bring towels and linen as the house is fully stocked. Do bring some of your favourite books, magazines, hat, camera, sunscreen, toothpaste, Ipod etc. If possible do not bring lots of little bags, but a duffle style bag that is easy to manage. Consider packing a small back pack and reef shoes for outdoor exploration.

We loved our time at Bedarra Beach House regardless of the wet weather during our week. The ammenities available in the house were perfect and we spent the majority of our time on the deck relaxing reading books, listening to music and looking out over the bay towards Dunk Island. The house is a total getaway place that is very well appointed and you feel like you are thousands of miles from normal everyday life. The caretaker, Shaun, made our stay very comfortable and was very helpful in regards to the house and activities we could do on the island. Thank you John & Anne for providing such a great place for couples to getaway to. We will definitely be back at some stage thank you.
Best,
John & Jacqui Oulton

From the moment Jason pointed out our place in paradise as we stepped off the boat onto Bedarra Island, we knew we had come to somewhere special. Heading up the winding path, we came to our secret hideaway for the next seven days. The Beach House is a beautiful home, set high among the tropical trees and overlooking the Coral Sea. The Beach House is very comfortable and has many wonderful features and artefacts. The design is perfect and we felt very comfortable there, reading, resting and relaxing. Without Anne and John, Bec and Jason, Shirley and Wayne, Chris, celebrating our Golden Wedding and a 70th birthday would not have had that extra bit of magic. Thank you to you all

This house and location are divine. The surrounds are postcard picture perfect.
My husband and I just celebrated our honeymoon at this house, and we can't stop talking about it. Its a beautiful hidden little gem, and one for the bucket list. Truly felt like we had our own private island. The house is so well equipped with everything and more. You can't help but relax, unwind and enjoy the serenity!
Can highly recommend and we plan to return in the future! Thank you Anne & John for opening up this little treasure and sharing your piece of paradise

A beautifully maintained treetop home with everything we needed with views to Dunk from every aspect of the house. Arrived to our groceries packed away our luggage awaiting. We could start relaxing immediately. I couldnt recommend it highly enough. The house is stunning and Bedarra is breathtaking. We enjoyed snorkelling, kayaking, swimming and walking. With drinks on the deck each evening. We will be back.
