Take a day out Beach Driving

At low tide take advantage of beach driving Rainbow Beach, check out the beautiful coloured sands, and at the point enjoy the nature made lake one side or surf the other for a different day out. From here you can take the Leisha track to the other side of Double Island Point, heading south. Not far south from here, your can take the Freshwater 4WD Track which brings you out 5kms out of Rainbow Beach on the main road in. The freshwater track is an alternative when the tides don't suit or are too high at Rainbow Beach, or simply to spend the day at the point, and travel home on the Freshwater track. Be certain to check with locals the state of the track as sometimes it can have deep sand. Otherwise, a great alternative to the beach, a nice scenic rainforest track.

Relax

Rainbow Beach is a relaxing small township, where you can wind down very quickly. Take a good book, and alternate between the beach and the private back yard on a sunlounger with a bush outlook.

Great stay. Good location
We loved our stay. Could walk into town. House is very well equipped and clean. We didn’t realise until we received our check in notification that you needed to bring your own batch towels and bed sheets and pillow cases. So if you are not local it’s not very convenient.

Brilliant - as usual!
Absolutely loved our stay here! We've been coming every year for many years now and it's always so relaxing. While Rainbow Beach itself is becoming more busy, it's still lovely and quiet and relaxing at this property! Backing onto the bushland really can't be beaten! The owners are lovely, communication is great and every year they have done something to improve/update the place, can't fault it! Highly recommend!

This holiday home was great! Close to all amenities and an easy walking distance to everything. Dog friendly was a huge bonus, and our pooch was happy in the yard when he wasn’t with us. Only down side, I didn’t bring sheets and had trouble getting them. Otherwise fab all round!

Perfect Rainbow Beach Getaway
We stayed three nights and wish we had booked for longer. The Swans Nest is well equipped all around. Beds are very comfortable. Great outdoor area bordering onto bushland. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and beach. Quiet neighborhood. We and the dog had a great time and we are looking forward to another stay in the future.

The Swans Nest
This was a perfect little unit for our weekend getaway. The unit was clean and comfortable and was equipped with all that we needed for the weekend. Being pet-friendly we were able to take our border collie and were confident that she was always safe with the secure yard. It was very affordably priced and the owner/managers were always helpful with any communication. It was close enough to the centre of Rainbow Beach to walk to shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

Short stay at Rainbow Beach
"beach house" Well presented but with aircon. Lots pots pans spices. Had everything we needed. Outside showers at the front and one enclosed at the back. Handy to get all the sand off from the beach. Couple walks in the short time we were there. Sand blow reasonably hard. Great views on the Inskip Point walk and good paths through the native forest. All in all great house to stay at.

Absolutely marvellous
The Swans Nest Beach House was absolutely marvellous! It was squeaky clean, wonderfully roomy, and the location couldn't have been better. It's super close to all the conveniences, yet it's tucked away in the midst of nature, giving us that peaceful holiday feeling. We absolutely adored the outdoor shower, and the availability of bikes was brilliant! We are definitely planning to come back for another stay!

A little gem!
Great couple of nights in Rainbow Beach with our doggo. So clean! Very comfortable bed, awesome shower and a secure fully fenced backyard for kids and dogs. There is no wifi and the mobile signal wasn’t great, so rid yourself of any work computering emergencies before you get there! Other than that, definitely recommended!

Diving holiday with dogs
Very nice. Fence was high and dog proof. Tiles looked like they came from an Italian mansion, the bathroom looked spectacular. Great shower with loads of hot water Stove could be better though. There was a BBQ but we didn't see it in the brochure otherwise we would have brought BBQ stuff. We will try and stay there again.

A great little weekend getaway. Could easily stay longer. Great if you have a dog. Well fenced. Our dog was a little old and blind and not confident on the few steps off the deck but most would cope. Well supplied with essential stuff. Would recommend

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the comfort of home away from home, an easy property to live in for small families, couples, 2 x couples so 4 adults, as well as your welcome furry friend. We as owners enjoy the beach with our french bulldog x pug, can walk for miles up the beach to have it to ourselves, not over crowded like coastal towns nearer to Brisbane, retaining that more remote untouched beach village appeal. Driving on the beach to double island point is a special excursion, and a beautiful spot to lay rest and enjoy the beauty and swimming for a few hours, dependent of the tides. Resting at the property has a unique national park bushland outlook, no neighbour one side. Enjoy the benefits of the large back deck area, and separate outdoor beach bathroom.
