About this property

The Moreton House - located at Kooringal, Mulgumpin (Moreton Island).

The Moreton House is a two bedroom beach house best suited to one or two couples. It has a clean modern feel, and is decorated with contemporary Australian art. The expansive front deck, back verandah and open plan living space elegantly afford comfortable relaxation. The northern orientation ensures plenty of light and air flow, and two sets of stacking doors is all that separates you from the native garden with its spectacular paperbarks. The house is situated in the township of Kooringal, and is a minutes walk from the pristine waters of Days Gutter, the only all-weather anchorage on Mulgumpin (Moreton Island). Days Gutter is home to turtles, dolphins and dugong. The island is 98 per cent national park with miles of empty beaches, freshwater perched lakes, magnificent walks and drives, bird watching, whale watching in season, and good fishing, squidding and crabbing. Or you can do as little as you please in the plentiful comforts of the house. Mulgumpin (Moreton Island) is 37km long and 10km at its widest point for convenient exploration. Mount Tempest, at 280 m high is the highest permanent sand dune in the world. The Quandamooka people are the traditional owners of Mulgumpin (Moreton Island). As there are no sealed roads on the island, you'll need a 4x4 to access the island.
Features; fully screened; plumbed barbecue; stereo/MP3 player; digital TV with DVD player; fireplace - if you wish to use the fireplace, you'll need to bring your own timber - hardwood only; ceiling fans to bedrooms; modern cook top and oven; full size fridge/freezer; full complement of cutlery, crockery and cookware; large shower cubicle; separate toilet; two high quality queen size beds; a choice of pillows; wardrobe spaces. Linen is not supplied. There is no laundry. As the Moreton House runs entirely on solar, you won't be able to use a blow dryer, curling wand or any appliance that generates heat, as you would flatten the battery.

wonderful christmas

I spent five days over the Christmas period at The Moreton House with my family and we enjoyed it so much. I can't recommend this house enough!!! We were so impressed with relaxing vibes when we walked into the house. It was very peaceful, the house was extremely clean, well equipped and beautifully designed. It was so lovely of the cleaner to leave a fresh bunch of herbs for cooking with a lovely note. We didn't feel like leaving the house. Luckily we took a lot of insect repellent as at this time of a year there was lots of mozzies and sand flies so we could comfortably enjoy our time in the beautiful front yard. We would love to come back to The Moreton House in a future.

Thank you to our hosts. The house was stunning. Even more so than pictures can capture. Gorgeous outlook, beautiful and green outside and plenty of space to do as much or as little as you like. Not a chance i will stay on the other side of the island again! Felt completely at home. Can't wait to get back
