About this property

Traditional holiday home on Coochiemudlo Island

Enjoy Coochie with up to a max of two dogs for just $15 each/night, just clean up prior to leaving. There is a secure fenced area for your favourite pet who also has off leash access to main beach.
Standard booking is up to 5 beds. Bookings are available for an additional cost per person per night to a total of 7 people. There are 2 Queen beds and a bunk consisting of double and single.
Easy walk to Coochie Resort if you are attending a wedding or want to eat out.
Recent reno to wet areas now offers you two toilets and two wash areas with access directly from new outside shower through laundry, great for family coordination and coming back from beach. Rest of house has comfortable lived in feel that still needs a bit of a paint and kitchen cabinets doors not perfect. Most guests feel at home like we do when we visit and it can be locked up for a while so if a stray cob web freaks you out don't book. We do get a cleaner to do another quick pass prior to entry and pest treatment always up to date.
The 600 m2 block next door is part of the property offering so feel free to play cricket etc.
Coochiemudlo Island (Coochie) is waiting to entertain you with it's 4km of white sandy beaches uniquely positioned North, South and East and all within walking distance from this pet friendly holiday home. Check the wind direction and pick a beach for the day – awesome!

Low traffic concreted road at front - great for kids on scooters and plenty of space to park a boat if you bring one. BBQ is s/steel hood on secured deck with fan overhead.
You and your pooches will love the outdoor shower to wash sand off.

Hard to believe that all this is less than 40km drive from Brisbane or Gold Coast and a smooth 8 min ferry ride from Victoria Point. Ferry leaving the modern terminal every 30mins starting from 5:15am weekdays and 6:30am on weekends and runs until 11:00pm each night. Adult fare $10 return. Check last photo for timetable.
The vehicle barge costs $60 return bookings are essential so do it early to secure your prefered time through Amity Trader during office hours of 8am-4pm.
The barge will also take walk on fares if you have a trolley of stuff it is easier. Easier if you have a trolley with esky.

Birthday celebration
Great house for groups, well equipped kitchen, good outdoor area. Felt relaxed as house was well lived in. A little worse for wear in some respects. Quirky decor and comfy lounges. Air con in all rooms. The bath rooms needed a good clean, bbq also not clean. Unfortunately the wifi didn't work. My son is a computer technician, so it was definitely the case. We hotspot to his phone to watch anything. All in all a nice experience. wasn't clean

Place was great one block to beach and ferry. Island is beautiful and very arty great place for kids to hang out and explore. Property was great everything you could need and was not run down very comfortable. Only thing is no wifi which is annoying when bad reception so couldn’t stream any shows for kids - especially when wifi box sitting on coffee table flashing but locked that was fun trying to explain to kids over & over!! Also communication regarding bedding we lug 5 sets of doonas, sheets, towels over by trolleys on ferry and there is a whole cupboard saying please wash after use. But was a great place would book again

Good location and comfortable
The house was comfortable and in walking distance to everything. It was well stocked. The only thing we were a bit disappointed with was the grassed area wasn’t fenced for the dogs. We had a great long weekend and the dogs loved their walks and lots of swimming.

Comfortable dog friendly house
We enjoyed our stay. It is a great place just to chill out and relax. Unfortunately we could not get oven to work so christmas dinner required some creative thinking. Appreciate being able to take our dogs, but probably a little overpriced.

Perfect getaway
Very laid back, with lots of holiday-home comforts. We were two couples and two singles and we had plenty of room to spread out. We self-catered and the kitchen was well equipped for our needs. We loved being close to everything, but were pleased we also brought a vehicle for transporting people and luggage to and from the ferry and around the island. We would have liked someone to meet us, but we figured out the key-holder, the microwave, the bioblitzer and perhaps not the wi-fi in due course. Thanks for having us, and we hope we can do the same again down the track.

We absolutely loved our stay!
Staying at the beach house on Coochie was wonderful. The house is older, but the bathrooms are renovated, the bedrooms and beds are very comfortable and the loungeroom was welcoming with very comfy couches. The kitchen is dated, though well stocked and easy to use.. The house is very centrally located and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the island, playing board games and watching DVDS. Our Dog was living her best life being on holidays with us. Just beware there are times of the year that the birds (such as Curlews) are nesting so dogs must remin on leash at all times! It was a wonderful weekend away! We will definitely stay again!

Relaxing Quiet house with everything that was needed.
This was a catch up with my sisters. There was plenty of room for us to relax and enjoy the games left for use. The weather was rainy but we still had time to walk around and see the island. Very convenient location. Air conditioner was useful on very cold nights. We had an amazing time and home to return soon.

Peace and tranquility
We were very happy with this booking and will come back again in the future. The property is in a quiet street but only a short walk to the jetty, café and beach. The house was easily accessible for an elderly member of our group. Everything you could think of was provided, even a great selection of board games. We also loved the quirky metal animals in the house and garden. We had a peaceful, stress-free family Christmas here and loved it!

Wonderful location to spend a 4day weekend with family. Celebrating Mums 90th birthday, the house was perfect as it was furnished with everything we needed. Kitchen came with everything we needed to host 10 people for lunch on the Saturday. Coochimudlo is a great little island with friendly locals and you can be as busy or laid back as you want. Property owner & the agent were both very friendly and provided great communication making our stay memorable.

About the host

Hosted by Ole Florager

Host profile image
Wife used to work as PE teacher at Victoria Point School and brought kids to Coochie for excursions to see the educational sights and nature walk through wetlands and to Red Rock where the island got is name.
We had three kids and brought them here and loved it so we decided to buy a home.

Why they chose this property

Liked Coochie so much with the easy access from Brisbane by car we can be unpacked and on the beach in one hour. Ferry and bus service are synchronised if you don't travel by car. The house is just far enough away from the party zone during holiday season to be able to relax but close enough to easily walk to beaches. This island and home with the extra block next door was the place to buy as our retirement place... our castle with a moat around it!

What makes this property unique

Coochie has the choice of three beaches North, South and East to get out of the wind.
House has outdoor shower with direct access to indoor en-suite and laundry wet area with fridge. The bird life is extraordinary and awesome to relax with a never to be built out view across road to nature reserve. Concrete street with no gutters is a unique bonus for parking large boat or kids to skate and scooter. Space to play or turn boat around on the paddock next door.
