STARFISH ON STRADDIE

"Starfish" is a comfortable 1 bedroom plus bunk room cottage, close to natural bushland and only 1 kilometre from the beach (Please scroll down to bottom of first page to see exact location on local map)

Starfish has everything you need for a stress free beach holiday.

Winter brings the majestic Humpback Whales on their annual migration to Hervey Bay. A short drive to lookouts and from May to August, you will see them heading north. From August to November they return to their summer home in the Antarctic waters. Other whales can also frequent the crystal clear waters off North Stradbroke Island.



Cottage features

Quiet, peaceful location
Close to natural bush land
Low level, meaning easy luggage loading
Full kitchen facilities including: refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, electric frying pan, utensils, crockery
1 Queen size bed in bedroom
Single bunk beds in bunk room (small sized room)
Air Conditioning
Cosy BBQ area
Native birds in area
Wildlife in close proximity regularly
Gated enclosure for a pet. (Strictly only 1 dog permitted)

Island features

Pristine beaches
Beautiful headland gorge walk, including sightseeing
Picture yourself barefoot on a pristine beach, not a care in the world. Sun glistening through crystal clear blue water, dolphins surfing the waves. Seagulls, terns and oyster catches go about their day on the beach too. You may spot a kite or eagle gliding above the dunes.
This is a small taste of what is awaiting you. To experience all North Stradbroke Island has to offer, a pleasant trip across Moreton Bay is necessary. Regular vehicular ferries and passenger boats depart from Cleveland, a bay side area, south east of Brisbane. Ferry and passenger boat trips depart daily from 5am, until late, depending on day of week. More about that later, but it must be said that this relaxing trip will de-stress and unwind you in preparation for your stay in paradise.
A 15 minute drive from Dunwich, were the ferry and boat terminals are, is Starfish.

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.

Ideal for small family & pet friendly too

Spotlessly clean, quiet location, comfortable beds and all facilities you need for a comfortable stay and your pet can stay too, couldn't ask for more. Super fresh fish available from your friendly hosts next door too. Can walk to the beach and pub if you're physically fit (about 2.5K with hills) so you can enjoy a drink or two with a meal and walk home safely burning off some calories as a bonus.

Beach shack

We had everything we needed and had a great time at Starfish. It was more spacious than anticipated and comfortable for 4 adults. The decor is dated in the style of a 1980's beach shack which felt homey. Things may not be the most modern but everything is functional and comfortable and within our budget. Despite being on the same block as the owner's home it felt private. Would like to return.
