About this property

Awesomely Unique & Fun Beach House with Self Contained Unit

Are you BORED OF BEIGE houses?
Want to SAY NO TO NEUTRALS ?
Are you KEEN FOR COLOUR?
And FANCY A FUN house?

Then you've come to the right place!

UNIQUE is an understatement!
Our MAGIC house has a FANTASTIC VIBE and guarantees a MEMORABLE stay.

All linen, bath towels and beach towels provided, and a complementary late checkout offered when available.

It's a gorgeous specimen of an old fibro beach shack that we have enjoyed enlarging and improving over the last 20 years. And we are happy to share the love, so you can enjoy an authentic beach holiday too.

Situated on Tooway Lake, in between beautiful Dicky Beach and world famous Moffat Beach. Both beaches are a short 300 metre stroll, with no main roads to cross. Both are surf beaches, Dicky Beach is patrolled all year round by the Lifesavers, and both beaches have great surfing breaks. Both beaches have rock pools for frolicking, snorkelling and fishing. Both beaches have cafes, restaurants and shops, and Dicky Beach has a Surf Club. You need not go anywhere else on your holiday! If you do want to venture out, Caloundra is just over the hill, and has a plethora of beaches, waterways and places to eat out and shop. Australia Zoo and the Big Kart Track are only 20 minutes drive. Mooloolaba is also 20 mins, Maleny is an hour inland and Noosa an hour north.

Our house needs to be seen to be believed. It's bright blue with colourful aquatic themed stained glass windows throughout. You are greeted with beautiful front doors that open into a spacious and relaxing house, that has a lot of artwork, a lot of colour, a lot of timber and a lot of character.

On the entry level there is a lounge room with 65 inch TV with Netflix, Binge and Disney, a kitchen with all the mod cons, out to a huge back deck with timber slab furniture and Weber BBQ. To the right is a music room with pianola and double sofa bed, a large office with two big timber desk work stations, a kids play area with a 2 storey tree, yes tree, with loads of books, games and jigsaws, around a bit further to a bathroom and laundry, and a beautiful private bedroom with double bed and a single lounge/day bed with single trundle, and massive french doors opening onto the deck.

Upstairs are two big private bedrooms, the master bedroom has a queen size bed, a bath and double shower all with views out to the lake and wildlife reserve, and the second bedroom has a queen size bed and single day bed, with leafy views and the sound of the surf in the distance.

Underneath the house is a gorgeous self-contained unit with a king size bed, single sofa bed with single trundle, kitchenette, large patio with outdoor dining table and double day bed. The bathroom floor is an underwater mosaiced masterpiece!

We are garden lovers and love earthing out, so there are is a huge variety of plants in gardens and pots, not a blade of grass on the property. The heated pool and front deck area is fabulous. Fences are donned with more mosaic artwork and other cool/zany art.

All bed linen provided, good quality, sheets are 1000 thread count.
All bath towels, hand towels and face washers provided.
All beach towels provided.

In the kitchen, full use of all the crockery, utensils, appliances etc. plus all the everyday condiments like salt n pepper, sauces, oils etc, plus cooking items like glad wrap, foil, baking paper etc. and cleaning products like washing detergent, laundry detergent and wipes, plus toilet paper are all included.

Here’s a summary of sleeping arrangements:
Upstairs of house: QB in master bedroom, QB & SB daybed in second bedroom.
Downstairs of house: DB in open area
Downstairs bedroom: DB and 2 x SB in open rooms.
Unit under house: KB in bedroom, and 2 x SB in lounge, outside DB daybed.
Sleeps 14 easily.

Discounts apply if you don't want the self-contained unit and are happy for the owners to stay in it.

Two night minimum throughout the year and usually a 4 night minimum during peak periods. We are open to enquiries for overnighters or longer stays, just ask.

Strict No Party rule, particularly no Bucks or Hens celebrations, or disguised attempts. This is a quiet neighbourhood, in a residential area, so no late nights, no loud noise, no disrespectful behaviour. (Sorry, but two disrespectful groups have ruined it!) Thank you for respecting us and our neighbours.

Any questions, please ask.

Thanks,
Wayne, Susie, Charlee & Blair

Family reunion and wedding.
We stayed 8 nights in this amazing house for a family reunion and to prepare for our wedding. It was such a privilege to have Susan and Wayne open their door to share not just this incredible home, but to also share with us their treasured family memories. The location is perfect as its just a short stroll to Dicky Beach, Moffitt beach and many local shops and eateries. We highly recommend the house to anyone..

Hidden Gem!
from the excellent communication with Susie and ease of check to the many trinkets all the house, this house is a fun stay away! Every inch of this house has character! The kids had a blast with the selection of toys that are available to share. The beach was walking distance. Thanks for a great stay.

Awesome! Home away from Home...
Fab contained home, plenty space with beautiful artwork throughout to admire. Self contained unit downstairs with the outdoor bed option, (for nana nap in the day) was fab for our Dad to get away from us all - families/children upstairs the other 2 levels. Mention of no privacy with the share of ensuite open shower/toilet with the 2 bedrooms upstairs, made it hard for my adult children family to use. Also the neighbors are close, but we kept to the highlighted rules, we had to have a Happy birthday dance and enjoy family time on the deck. A lovely huge arty funky neat home!! (and pool!!) A welcoming and good communication with the Property owner was fab too!!

Fantastic for families!
A wonderfully colourful & eclectic home with chilled vibes! A great place for extended families to stay together, very open plan layout for sleeping which is great for the kids. A separate toilet other than in bathrooms would be good if groups of friends were to stay ( just for privacy & convenience if others are using the showers). Wonderful communication with host Susan! Would highly recommend this gorgeous property :)

Big House with Backpacker Feel
There's an amazing collection of interesting art and statuettes giving the entire house a somewhat tropical/BALI vibe. The little kids enjoyed the pool. Communications with the Host was also super. Good location and a short walk from the Tooway Creek and the beaches.

Loved our stay in the 'blue house'
We stayed here for 4 nights over the Easter long weekend and unfortunately it rained from when we arrived to when we left. But the kids found soooo much to do in the house to keep occupied. Games, puzzles, the pianola, soccer game, it was amazing what the hosts had provided. Great sized outdoor deck with a BBQ, and heaps of space inside for all of us to spread out even though we were house-bound due to the weather. The unit at the back/under the house was absolutelybeautiful with it's own little outdoor daybed and sitting area, but the entrance to the main house is outside only and up a steep driveway, which was a bit of an issue due to the rain. Upstairs, only 1 bedroom is private, the other bedroom is the only access to the upstairs toilet & shower, and downstairs beds were in a completely open area. Didn't bother us at all, it added to the uniqueness of this house, and we are such a large group we rarely get private rooms. Overall we loved our stay, fantastic whimsical house, so much to look at. Heaps of towels, linen, kitchen fully equipped (no oven, only convection oven) which took us a bit to get used to, but all was good once we worked it out. By far the most interesting house we have ever stayed, we will definitely have fond memories of this holiday! The hosts were lovely, very welcoming, and instructions were very clear. Easy check-in and check-out. Loved our stay!

Great house, great location
Awesome house with something new to notice from every angle. We enjoyed the house just as much as we enjoyed our holiday on the Sunshine Coast. Highly recommend for large family or friend group as there’s enough beds for everyone and it’s spread out enough that you can come together and have a bit of space as needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Really interesting place . Our guys enjoyed it and found it interesting and amusing
Fun house , only thing to criticise is the rules , sooo many rules makes you a little stressed when the point is to relax . And big problem the cranky pants who live next door , maybe someone needs to let them know it’s not a retirement village, where lights out at 8:30 . Other than that we had a wonderful time.
