Description

Strandhaus (“Beach House” in german) is the ultimate beach house at the emerging costal township of Rainbow Beach in Queensland, Australia. The house is located in a quiet bush setting along the 20km stretch of pristine sandy shoreline that connects the Sunshine Coast to the passage to Fraser Island.

Whether you want to just relax by the pool, take a walk along the beach, adventure out to the many natural wonders of the region or take a day trip to Fraser Island, Strandhaus is the perfect holiday destination for couples, families and friends to enjoy the beautiful Cooloola region.

Strandhaus was the 2009 state winner for the "Beach" category on one of Australia's leading holiday rental web-sites selected from a choice of 13,000 houses and was featured in the October issue of "Australian Traveller" as one of the "100 Great Australian Holiday homes"

Details

The house is an open plan design which has been designed with a 5 star energy rating to maximise the bush & beach location by capturing the sea breezes to stay cool in summer and warm in winter.

Strandhaus has 3 large bedrooms with enough space to comfortably sleep 6 people. The master bedroom has a queen bed and ensuite upstairs adjacent to the sitting room overlooking the living area. Downstairs has 2 bedrooms, 1 is quite large with a queen bed and the other has 2 single beds. Linen is included in the price. All living areas and bedrooms have high ceilings and are equipped with the highest standard of finishes. The living area opens to the main deck overlooking the pool and connects to a large expanse of decks externally to allow guests to enjoy the pool, bush and abundant sunshine. The large European kitchen with stainless steel appliances allow guests to cook up a feast, or the alternative is a bbq on the main deck.

A Large flat screen TV, DVD and Hifi are situated in the living area which features double volume ceilings and a very pleasant view out over the pool and the bush.

The area

Strandhaus is located just 270m walk from the beach via a bush track that is accessible from the back deck. There are no roads to cross and no traffic to worry about. The beach is pristine and is free of the 4wd traffic that is common in other parts of the Cooloola coast.

Within a short walk there is a convenience store and a 5 star restaurant which are part of the local resort. This resort offers activities such as Golf and Tennis to the public.

  • "Aleks: Our stay in Rainbow Beach (Strandhaus) was exactly what we expceted in terms of the quality of both the setting and accommodations, the convenient walking distance to the beach and the village and most importantly, the ability to un-wind and relax. Our family and guests all ejoyed their week stay. The weather whilst at times cool and windy did not detract from our vacation. The village stores and shop-keepers were all accommodating and helpful. If it were not for the matter of geographical distance, we would return without hestitation to your wonderful place. Thanks Kevin M. Duguay "

  • "Thanks for a great holiday Aleks! Strandhaus is superbly appointed and a wonderful location to enjoy Fraser Island and all Rainbow Beach has to offer. Quiet and peaceful with an excellent pool and all modern amenities. Strandhaus is tucked away in a beautiful bush setting and only a short stroll to the secluded beach. We will be back again next year!"

  • "Thank you for a wonderful holiday, the surroundings are beautiful, and the house is well laid out. Having a parents retreat upstairs along with the large living area meant we could spread out and relax!"

  • "This has got to be the best house we have ever stayed in! Just perfect, I would recommend it to anyone that will listen! The kids (2 & 4) loved the scrub turkey and the goanna, we loved the gorgeous bush setting, minutes walk from the beach, fabulous design and furnishings. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We would love to come again!"

  • "It was a wonderful location to bring the family together... Close to the beach with all the home facilities that anyone could imagine. Stradhaus provide a friendly atmosphere in which you and your loved ones can relax while enjoying the comforts of a warm and earthy environment. We didn't want to leave! Until next time :)"

  • "We loved our stay at Strandhaus. The pool was wonderful to laze about and the house was exceptional. It was so clean and the kitchen was fully stocked. Even though we were near other houses, it didn't feel as though we were in each others pockets with the surrounding bush. Our baby thought the scrub turkeys and goannas were the most exciting thing she had seen! "

  • "Thankyou Aleks & Augi for creating and sharing such a beautiful restful place. We honeymooned at Strandhaus, we arrived from NSW late with no time to arrange supplies and found that everything had already been thought of, from the ground coffee, to the washing powder! The Strandhaus is prepared for it's guests as though it was prepared for you both to stay there yourselves...Everything seems to be lovingly selected...The house & furniture is stylish but not pretentious, I had been concerned about booking somewhere without airconditioning, but it was not even needed, despite being very steaming weather the house was beautifully cool due to the flowing design and the fans. The house was immaculately clean While the house is amidst other houses, it was absolutely private, I loved EVERYTHING about it, It felt as though it was our own beach house for the time we were there, we relaxed so much, the pool was wonderful, the bush, the wildlife...the beach was beautiful, your beautiful photos displayed, even your selection of books was so thoughtful...I finally read "To Kill a Mockingbird"!. We used Strandhaus as a base for many fun activities including sea kayaking and hired Brumby 4x4 and went over to Fraser island and camped overnight (highly recommend). Sunset picnic at Carlo Sandblow also recommended. We will definately return to Rainbow Beach and the lovely Strandhaus. The only suggestions maybe a few DVD's on the shelf..thanks again. David & Sonia O'Brien"
