The Hopeful Hut – Your Beachside Escape in Kurrimine Beach

Welcome to The Hopeful Hut, a laid-back, family-friendly (and yes, pet-friendly!) 3-bedroom holiday home just a short stroll from the stunning Kurrimine Beach. Fully fenced with loads of space for your vehicles and boats, this cozy beach house is the perfect base for your next coastal adventure. While not a luxury resort, The Hopeful Hut offers a clean, comfortable, and relaxed stay – a true home away from home.

Just a few minutes’ walk will have your toes in the sand, and if you’re into fishing, you’ll love being only 500 metres from the local boat ramp. Back at the house, there’s even a big double sink in the laundry for cleaning your fresh catch of the day.

Kick back on the spacious, fully covered patio – complete with two ceiling fans to keep things breezy. Fire up the BBQ, crack open a cold drink (you’ll find a second fridge in the laundry just for extras), and enjoy long, lazy afternoons outdoors.

Inside, the fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up family meals, and there’s plenty of comfy living space to relax in. The Queen bedroom is air-conditioned, and a large AC unit in the main living area keeps the whole house cool – including the other two bedrooms.

Sleeping arrangements:

Bedroom 1: King bed

Bedroom 2: Two bunk beds + trundle (perfect for the kids!)

Bedroom 3: Queen bed

If you’re after an affordable, no-fuss holiday home that’s close to the beach, fishing, and fun – The Hopeful Hut is calling your name!

Loved the Hopeful Hut.

We totally enjoyed our stay. It is a perfect location to relax and unwind. The hut contains everything you will need and is so close to the beach. Our furry friend also enjoyed her stay. We will definitely return.

Comfortable stay at the Hopeful Hut

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hopeful Hut at Kurriimine Beach. It was perfect for our much needed break for our family including our pets. We were impressed with the cleanliness, peacefulness and everything we required for a good restful break was provided. Thank you

Kurrine Hut stay

We enjoyed our time in Kurrine Beach and the Hut accommodations. And to get to stay in another holiday home with our two precious pet greyhounds was a bonus. The location was amazing. And the accommodations comfortable. Only one recommendation, fly screens and a screen door at the front would allow lots of great breeze and extra light in the property. Not a complaint just a suggestion. Thanks again Kris and Terry

Spacious

It's not upmarket but it is spacious and clean and close to the beach and has everything you need for a few days away. Quiet location, not touristy like Mission Beach, big undercover outdoor area, BBQ, etc. Good value.

Great Stay!!

This property is clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Our host Sandy was very helpful and pleasant. Hopeful Hut is in a very quiet area with just a short stroll to the beautiful beach. And the best part is that we could bring our dogs with us and they had a secure fenced yard to run around in! A great place to stay.

Christmas 2021

The Hut itself was what was expected as per the description. We had an unforeseen issue where the AC broke down on Christmas Day. I must commend the owner and property manager on trying to get this rectified as quickly as possible at this time of year. All in all my family had not seen each other for 2 years. We completely enjoyed our stay and the location for a family beach holiday is perfect.

The perfect beach hut!!

I stayed at the Hopeful Hut for 2 nights with my two kids. It was a lot more spacious than I thought, and the garden wonderful for our dog to run zoomies, as it is large. The verandah is huge with a balustrade gate, which is great. There is everything needed in the kitchen. The property manager was lovely and turned aircon on for us before arrival. Great beaches to walk your dog and swimming net on other side of Kurrimine beach. Awesome stay overall we will be back!!! 😊👍

Quick weekend getaway

Location was a short walk to the beach. House had all appliances that you could need. We rented this property as it said it was pet friendly, although when we got there it was written on the compendium that you couldn't have dogs inside which wasn't clear on the online information.

Perfect stay in quiet paradise

Beautiful little hut fully equipped and so close to beach. One minute walk and you are on the sand. Quiet and peaceful area and so good for relaxing days away. We will book this hut again as it was magical!

Great stay at the Hopeful Hut

Upon arrival the hut was very clean and had everything we needed. Its location was fabulously close to the beach ... and nice and quiet in a great neighbourhood. Our family of six comfortably fit in the hut and there's was loads of undercover space outside to chill with the family. The yard was even big enough for our eldest girl to practice athletics. Would highly recommend ... this affordable and comfy getaway. We'll be back.

Kurrimine experience

Found the location accessible to surrounding areas ie: Kurrimine Beach Hotel,Mission Beach and Mourilyan Harbour. The Hopeful Hut was clean and tidy and provided all necessary items. Our four legged friend enjoyed his runs along the beach each day and it was great to be able to take him with us. We all had a relaxing time.

Relaxing stay

Relaxing stay, front patio great for young children. Short walk to the beach and walking path. Has all the basics you need. Only negative is that the windows in the two bedrooms off the lounge don’t have curtains on them so sun came through as soon as it rose. Thanks for having us for our little family getaway.

A huge (for two) house really close to the beach.

Ideally placed for watching the sun rise over the beach and good for birding too. Bed was comfie, kitchen was well-equipped. Ants were an issue but that was our fault for not sealing the food - they loved the marmalade! Very comfortable three nights. Thank you
