Fully refurbished in December 2021 with new bedding, linen, furniture, smart TVs, free wifi and all kitchen equipment and appliances and located in a quiet street at quaint Elliott Heads village. 100 metre walk to the sensational sandy Elliott River, patrolled surf beach and surf-side fish and chip shop.

Fantastic bowling club with a free bus if you want a tipple and terrific food. Lighthouse is located only 20 minutes from the bustling centre of Bundaberg, which has an airport. Your pets will love the fully fenced yard and if you love your pets inside, snuggled up on the couch with you; this is the dream holiday beach house.

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.

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!

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. Brendan is a responsive host. Easy to communicate with & welcoming. Extra bonus that our dog was able to join us inside, he really does think he is a wee human.

Very well presented, styled and kitted out beach cottage. Easy walking distance to everything Elliott Heads has to offer. Nice easy walk for a surf in the morning and afternoon! Great deck, for relaxing. Brendan was a great host. Very responsive (not that we had any issues). Highly recommend this place when you're ready for an Elliott Heads break.

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.”

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.

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!!!!
