About this property

The Moreton House - located at Kooringal, Mulgumpin (Moreton Island).

The Moreton House is a two bedroom beach house best suited to one or two couples. It has a clean modern feel, and is decorated with contemporary Australian art. The expansive front deck, back verandah and open plan living space elegantly afford comfortable relaxation. The northern orientation ensures plenty of light and air flow, and two sets of stacking doors is all that separates you from the native garden with its spectacular paperbarks. The house is situated in the township of Kooringal, and is a minutes walk from the pristine waters of Days Gutter, the only all-weather anchorage on Mulgumpin (Moreton Island). Days Gutter is home to turtles, dolphins and dugong. The island is 98 per cent national park with miles of empty beaches, freshwater perched lakes, magnificent walks and drives, bird watching, whale watching in season, and good fishing, squidding and crabbing. Or you can do as little as you please in the plentiful comforts of the house. Mulgumpin (Moreton Island) is 37km long and 10km at its widest point for convenient exploration. Mount Tempest, at 280 m high is the highest permanent sand dune in the world. The Quandamooka people are the traditional owners of Mulgumpin (Moreton Island). As there are no sealed roads on the island, you'll need a 4x4 to access the island.
Features; fully screened; plumbed barbecue; stereo/MP3 player; digital TV with DVD player; fireplace - if you wish to use the fireplace, you'll need to bring your own timber - hardwood only; ceiling fans to bedrooms; modern cook top and oven; full size fridge/freezer; full complement of cutlery, crockery and cookware; large shower cubicle; separate toilet; two high quality queen size beds; a choice of pillows; wardrobe spaces. Linen is not supplied. There is no laundry. As the Moreton House runs entirely on solar, you won't be able to use a blow dryer, curling wand or any appliance that generates heat, as you would flatten the battery.

Thank you to our hosts. The house was stunning. Even more so than pictures can capture. Gorgeous outlook, beautiful and green outside and plenty of space to do as much or as little as you like. Not a chance i will stay on the other side of the island again! Felt completely at home. Can't wait to get back

Very comfortable stay!
We loved our stay at this property! Perfect for kids with so much room to play outdoors and places to adventure. Our kids loved exploring the beach at low tide to find all the wonderful sea creatures. We stayed a week and came home relaxed with memories made forever. House very well equipped and owners a pleasure to deal with and incredibly helpful :) We’ll be back!!!

The Moreton House is quiet, peaceful & had everything we needed for a great weekend away.
We had a wonderful weekend at The Moreton House, Kooringal. The barge was cancelled due to the cyclone weather conditions & we had to change our weekend. Tom went out of his way to help. The house is well situated, well equiped & also lovely & clean. We would highly recommend this property, hopefully we will get another opportunity to go back. Thank you Tom. Julia

Perfect Moreton beach house
We stayed here for a week over Christmas-New Year with our two children. The house was in a perfect location, close walk to the beach and The Gutter bar. We haven’t been to Moreton for over 20years and we were amazed how nothing has changed. We love the Kooringal end of Moreton where the house is located as it is more relaxed and you feel like a local. The Moreton house was the perfect size for our family or would suit 2 couples well. The house was very clean and well equipped. The house was bright and airy and we particularly liked the modern decor. Our only suggestion would be a fan in the main living area. And perhaps access to a hose to wash car down at the end of the day. All in all we had a great stay and will be back.

wonderful christmas
I spent five days over the Christmas period at The Moreton House with my family and we enjoyed it so much. I can't recommend this house enough!!! We were so impressed with relaxing vibes when we walked into the house. It was very peaceful, the house was extremely clean, well equipped and beautifully designed. It was so lovely of the cleaner to leave a fresh bunch of herbs for cooking with a lovely note. We didn't feel like leaving the house. Luckily we took a lot of insect repellent as at this time of a year there was lots of mozzies and sand flies so we could comfortably enjoy our time in the beautiful front yard. We would love to come back to The Moreton House in a future.

Amazing escape from the grind!
Moreton Island is an amazing place and what made it even better was the 1st class house we were able to stay in! The Moreton House was perfect to come home to after days on he beach. I will book The Moreton House again if we ever visit Moreton Island again.
