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.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Straddie stay

This is the second time we have stayed here so we were already familiar with th property. Everything we needed was supplied.The bedrooms are a bit tight to move in but otherwise ok.maybe a wall fan in the bunk room? Gets a bit hot when door closed.The addition of the new outside deck giving a water view was great.

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.

Another great stay at Starfish

We had a wonderful week at Starfish after Easter. We keep coming back because of the excellent location, the clean, comfortable and cosy little house with lots of board games and DVDs for the kids, and the hospitality from Carolyn and Mal. The new deck with its ocean view through the trees is an added bonus. We’ll be back again!

High allergy alert

On entering the property everything is as pictured online except not as clean. There is noone to greet you. Just keys left in a basket. The smell of an old dusty and musty house hits you when you walk in. On further inspection there were ants and spiders seen in places. The cushions on the chairs at the dining table had mould on them which caused itchiness when sitting on them and the dusty musty smell gave me asthma attacks so i had to take ventolin for the 4 night stay. There needs to be some maintenance done to the property like fixing the roof panels and replace the bbq which was dirty and had missing parts so wasnt usable. The pegs for the clothes line were old and broke when trying to use them. The fridge had dents in the door, the bottom of the oven cupboard needs attention as it looks like something happened and its just been painted over and the lounge had some faint kids drawing marks on them. The location was fantastic but you do need a car to get around. Comfortable bed. Close to the beach. Washing machine and bathroom was very good. Communication with owners was very good.
