About this property

Your own stretch of wilderness river only 15 mins from Hastings St, incl kayaks

Your own totally private river in four acres of wilderness bush, five minutes to Noosaville. During "covid" full cancellation refund guaranteed until arrival date. Long river frontages on two sides, state park on the third side and long bush drive on the fourth side. A covered deck high in the trees overlooks the river. Kookaburras and magpies sit on the deck rail and mullet jump in the river below.
The house is open-plan with a "die-for" deck in the trees looking down on the river. Parents unwind on the deck while children adventure below! Swim, fish and kayak directly from the house, in a very private and wilderness like setting. Children love the kayaks (we provide 7, two of which are dedicated fishing kayaks, and life jackets) These provide a wilderness-like paddling experience. Paddle down the river to Lake Cooroibah, and try some estuary fishing. Or take a tinny (outboard) from the house down the river to Tewantin or Noosa for breakfast (we provide the kayaks, you provide the tinny).
Comfortable lounges on the ultra-large tree level deck look down on river reflections. Breakfast with the fish jumping and the birds singing (but please don't feed the friendly kookaburras!). Kangaroos, kookaburras, water monitors and bush turkeys reside in the adjacent national park. The 'roos graze around the house in the morning and evening, and the kookaburras sit on the balcony rail watching the progress of your meal out of the corner of their eyes!
The house and deck are fully accessible without ascending steps and the shower in the main bathroom is wheel chair friendly.
There are sweeping lawn down to the river and towering original growth eucalypts. Paperbarks line the river bank.
Sit around a fire by the river cooking snags, under the stars and listening to the mullet splashing. Maybe the kids have a line in the river (fishing gear provided). Buy Australian green prawns from Woollies deli counter (not much more expensive than frozen bait from the servo) to absolutely guarantee bites.
Then, in case you are thinking that life couldn't get much better, it is just seven minutes to the amazing choice of restaurants along the Noosa River on Gympie Terrace (Noosaville), 15 minutes to Hastings Street fashion shopping, renowned restaurants and Noosa's iconic main beach and surfing.
Enjoy truly memorable day trips to Fraser Island in 4WD buses, or take your own 4wd up the North Shore beach to Fraser Island, with a fish in the surf on the way. The Tewantin car ferry across the Noosa River to the North Sore is five minutes away.
Other nearby attractions include the beautiful Noosa River Everglades by fast launch, Aussie World, UnderWater World and internationally-renowned Australia Zoo. Eumundi markets are nearby (Wednesday and Saturday) as is Noosa's equally popular Sunday morning market. Noosa has a network of scenic walking trails in the Noosa National Park (15 minutes away) and the Cooloolah National Park (along the North Sore and fifteen minutes away).
Minimum booking is two days.
A separate and privately located granny flat on the same 4 acres can also be added for $100/night (off season price) plus cleaning. This boosts adult accommodation to 8. The granny flat is light, spacious and airy and lets you holiday with your friends/relatives, but with separate and more private living spaces. It comprises three rooms with en suite, stove, dishwasher, tv and a huge deck overlooking another branch of the river. This is popular with friends wanting to holiday together but keep their own private living space or parents retreat.

Hardly a reason to leave once there. It feels so peaceful and secluded with plenty to do on the property. If you do want to duck out, woolies is 10 minutes away and the beach isn’t far either. 2nd stay for us and we had just a great of a time.

Family stay
This was our 2nd stay at the house. We love coming back. We booked the house and the granny flat for our extended family. We caught breams, cods, cat fish and crabs from the river. We didn't want to leave after 4 days of fun and fishing!

Perfect getaway location
Wow, wow, wow.... we absolutely loved this property which is set in a beautiful location away from all the the tourist-bustle, yet is only a short drive from the Tewantin shops. Our hosts were very quick to resolve a minor issue we encountered with the DVD player, and the property had all the comforts you'd possibly want. We would happily stay here again.

Off The Grid Break
Relaxing second time visiting, the property enabled us all to enjoy much needed rest and relaxation together. Love the bush and river views and all that is provided for a very comfortable stay. Noosa Harbour Fish Market provided 3kg of delicious prawns and oysters & Scottys Pizza dished out great pizza for footy night. Apollonian Hotel always a favourite spot to enjoy a coldie. Noosa Oceanrider highly recommend for some added family fun. Appreciate being here again!

Ultimate weekend getaway!
My family and I stayed for 2 nights to celebrate my 50th birthday. What a stunning, private and tranquil holiday home. You don't need to even leave! We filled our day with kayaking, swimming, fishing and just enjoying a good book and a glass of wine as you cast your eyes over the river from your balcony. We will definately be back...for a longer stay next time

Relaxing river stay
We had an amazing time. The house had everything you could ask for a river stay. The kayaks, fishing rods and crab pots were great fun and we enjoyed toasting marshmallows over the fire pit (firewood was supplied) on the rivers edge. The outlook off the deck is to die for. The showers were one of the best and the kitchen was well equipped.Definitely recommend for families. I wish we could have stayed longer.!

Relaxing Sunshine Coast hideaway escape
Such a beautiful property with stunning bush and river views. Heaps of inclusions from the kayaks and firewood to everything you could need inside the house. You feel like you are isolated from the world but still so close to everything you could need. This property was the perfect place to relax with loved ones while preparing for our wedding. We will definitely be back. Thanks so much Carolyn and Geoff.

Kayaking holiday
This spacious, comfortable house with huge deck overlooking a private creek was the perfect place for me and my adult/teen kids to relax and have the best fun! There is a deep waterhole with swinging rope just around the bend in kayaks (all provided) and a large firepit with wood ready to go for an evening outdoors. We will definitely be booking again. Loved this place!!

Nice little get away
Took my husband ( who has mobility problems) and 92 year old father, beds were comfortable, views amazing, we enjoyed the kangaroos popping by. Lots of bugs outside at night so after our predinner drinks we sat inside. A relative made damper and used the fire pit, and we were able to drive to it with permission from the easy going owners staying nearby. Noosa marina and shops only 7 mins away, overall very relaxing and pleasant, oh and our little dog just loved exploring.

Family short holiday
The natural surrounding was so beautiful. We all felt totally relaxed the minute we arrived. We could fish and watch the kids kayak and swim because the house was so close to the river. The place was clean and had plenty of room for everyone. We stayed for 3 nights but we could have easily stayed for a week or more. Will be definitely be back!

Unique and Tranquil
This is our third stay at this special place with its acres of land and unique position on its own creek. Going to sleep with kangaroos hopping in adjacent bushland and waking to birdsong is wonderful. The house is well equipped and well-suited for dogs. We love kayaking on the river. And Noosa is just a short drive away.

About the host

Hosted by Geoff and Carolyn Dixon

Host profile image
We live in Canberra and our house on the Noosa river system is our future retirement paradise! This will be when our nine Canberra based grandchildren have finally flown the nest. In the meantime this unique 4 acres is loved by our beautiful guests for its tranquil bush, pristine kayaking, riverside camp fires and natural life. We are former sheep farmers and ,much as we enjoy the bustle of Noosa, it is so nice to return in the evenings to the real and tranquil Noosa biosphere

Why they chose this property

This 4 acre bush property is very popular with families. Parents unwind on the deck above the river watching kids do what only kids do in four acres of bush beside a river - kayaking, swimming, crabbing and fishing (everything provided). Everyone loves the campfire by the river!
Yet this totally private stretch of river on 4 bush acres is only 5 minutes from newly bustling Tewantin, 10 minutes from ever swinging Noosaville and 15 minutes from internationally exclusive Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach. Purrrfect!

What makes this property unique

A unique combination of an Australian bush holiday and a Noosa lifestyle holiday in just one package (great for families).
The serenity and privacy of living beside your very own stretch of Australian tree-lined river.
Seamless transition between the buzz and glamour of the Noosa area and the birdsong and serenity of the Australian bush.
