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.

Starfish was lovely! The location was great, the cabin was cozy, and fully stocked. The bunk beds were a little creaky which didn't make for a great sleep, but the beautiful beaches made up for it. The lack of wifi at Starfish was a little challenging as our phones had really week reception at the cabin, but again, nice if you're looking to disconnect. Overall, would absolutely stay there again!

Such a cute little self contained unit with a well appointed kitchen, BBQ, comfortable beds and a beautiful front deck perfect for morning coffee. There is NO WIFI but a few TV channels and a large selection of DVDs to choose from.

Starfish on Straddie is a beautiful, comfortable holiday home, just the right size for a family with two adults and two young children. The kids loved all the board games and DVD's. Carolyn and Mal are wonderful hosts and they are great with communication. We love that the property is pet-friendly and it is perfect for small dogs. The only recommendation we can give is that the fence at the back be extended above the rock wall so that medium dogs such as our 15kg boy won't be able to jump up and escape. Overall, a great experience and we will definitely visit Starfish on Straddie again!

We had a nice stay at Starfish. It was a peaceful location and the bed was comfortable. Lack of Wi-fi was a little inconvenient but my fault for not checking availability of this first. I wouldn’t recommend this accommodation for family with toddlers as they would probably fall off the patio but there’s heaps of games and DVD’s to help keep older kids entertained when not at the beach etc

Great location can even see a glimpse of the ocean from the front deck. Bit going on in the front yard with old machines and some gardening work but was pre warned and really wasn't that big of a deal. Would definitely come again.

Nice enough

Adequate. Poor telephone and mobile coverage. Had a disused tractor in pieces in the front yard. But it did make the place easy to find. My dog was allowed with a dog cage out the back, so that was a big plus.

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.
