The Black Pelican Family Home - Sunsetters Beach

This beautifully renovated and rebuilt Island-style home is designed for two families, offering luxurious, open-plan indoor/outdoor living. The kitchen and living area flow onto a large deck with stunning Moreton Bay views. A separate bungalow features two double bedrooms and a laundry/bathroom connected by a breezeway, plus a bunk room with four beds.

The property boasts wrap-around decks with direct access to a large lawn, gardens, and native bushland views. Despite its privacy, it's just a 50-meter walk to Sunsetters Beach and 250 meters from the famous Gutter Bar.

Tastefully decorated and equipped with modern conveniences, the home’s design is perfect for Island living, with an ideal aspect over private lawns and Moreton Bay beaches. It’s secluded yet located in one of the village's best areas, close to a sandy beach perfect for children.

Key features include a modern kitchen, outdoor stainless steel fish-cleaning bench, two outdoor showers, and a solar power system with a backup generator. The house is just 250 meters from the Gutter Bar and a short walk to Sunsetters Beach, with easy access to Moreton Island’s pristine beaches and national parks.

Please note: This property is exclusively for family holidays or romantic getaways—no large parties, events, or group rentals.

We stayed for 5 nights. The property is wonderful - perfect island chic. Great location to explore Moreton. We couldn’t have hoped for a better stay.

We loved the Black Pelican and Moreton Island.
The house was terrific, it all that we could have asked for and more. Loved the open plan living space and the proximity to the water and the Gutter Bar made for a fantastic Easter stay.

Kooringal Moreton Island
We had a great week on Moreton and this house was perfect for our family of 6. Loved the kitchen space flowing out to the deck. Having never stayed at Kooringal before we had to watch the tides a bit more than other stays on the island to plan our activities. Bed linen is provided but no towels so make sure you pack 2 per person.
