About this property

The Light House Cottage

Welcome to The Light House.

The Light House is the closest house to the working Burnett Heads Light house.
Views of the ocean or harbour from every window in the house.
Discover the pristine coastline of Burnett Heads and Mon Repos, with intriguing turtles, whales and the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.

This well-maintained home is the typical Queenslander with closed in verandahs (sleep-outs), and a large, central lounge.

It was the old pilot stations' house, moved with logs to this prime location back in the 30's.

There are 4 bedrooms and a 2-way bathroom, with a claw-foot bath and seperate shower. The toilet is separate.

The 2 queen, and 2 single beds are very comfortable, as is the leather lounge suite.

Ceiling fans are throughout, and sea breezes are too pleasant to bother with air-con.

The fully fenced yard is large enough to park your boat and car, and keep your dog happy and secure.

Outdoor pets welcome and pets may sleep in the laundry at night.

Lockable single shed.

Great fishing and swimming from the rock walls and private beach.

Excellent boating and fishing in river or out to the reef.

A short 700m walk to local Supermarket, shops, PO, pub and club.

Playgrounds and skate bowl in adjacent parks for the kids.

Great home with character
Such a great house in a great location. House was lovely and clean and hosts were a pleasure to speak to. Some aircon in the bedrooms would be a massive bonus for the hotter months but when we were there the fans were just fine. The laundry is a great place for the dogs to sleep and the fully fenced yard with shade is perfect for them while we went out for the day. Only negative thing is they wouldn't let us buy the place haha. Will definitely stay again

PLEASANT COASTAL COTTAGE
The Lighthouse house is a spacious modernised old Queensland cottage. Comfortable bedding and furniture. Dog friendly with pet allowed outside in fenced yard & internal laundry. On hot and sunny & humid days inside of the house is like a sauna. So air cond in lounge area at least is needed for these days. As per listing remember to bring your own bed sheets and pillow cases. Good overall
