About this property

Spacious Straddie family retreat sleeps up to 10, walk to Cylinder Beach

Set in the heart of Point Lookout on North Stradbroke Island, this spacious and private holiday home offers the perfect coastal escape within easy walking distance of everything you need. Enjoy a short stroll to multiple stunning beaches, including just 8 minutes to the iconic Cylinder Beach, as well as local cafés, takeaways, shops and the newly refurbished Straddie Hotel. The famous Gorge Walk is also close by and well worth exploring.

The Point Lookout Village shops, including Bob’s, the Post Office and the Fish and Chip shop, are located at the end of the street, approximately a 3-minute walk away, making it easy to pick up essentials or grab a casual meal.

This fully self-contained, two-level brick home comfortably accommodates families or groups, featuring four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a separate, self-contained granny flat for added flexibility. Upstairs includes a well-equipped kitchen, dining and lounge area with a 55" smart TV and ducted air conditioning, while downstairs offers a rumpus room and additional living space. Both the rumpus room and granny flat are fitted with 40" smart TVs.

The property is pet-friendly (subject to simple conditions), with a fully fenced yard. The home also features two decks, one at the front and one at the rear which offers additional outdoor spaces to relax, entertain, or enjoy the coastal breeze.

The front yard is set back from the street and surrounded by lush foliage, creating a private, relaxed setting complete with a wood-fired BBQ, fire pit and outdoor seating; perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.

Linen (bed sheets, pillowcases and towels) is available for a small additional fee if required.

Upstair's rooms were clean and were well stocked with necessities.Upstairs was very good. Granny flat downstairs was not as well presented. Granny flat's outside area was unclean and so, not utilised which was a shame. Downstair's cooking pots and pans need updating so we tended to bring down some from upstairs and use those.

Great family getaway

We loved this house, it feels like a home away from home. It is really nice to stay somewhere that is so generous with all the little extras (kitchen appliances, cleaning gear, condiments etc). We had the most relaxing stay sitting on the beautiful deck hearing and seeing all the birds. Thank you!

Lovely stay

Thanks for having us Tom, we had a lovely stay at point lookout. Well catered for us with the baby and both sets of grant parents and our dog. All though the dog got out the first night at the back so you might have to consider fencing the back in better if you allow bigger dogs on the property.

A most relaxing stay

Tom’s house is in a fabulous location walking distance to many beaches, cafes and local shops. It had everything we need with space for everyone. It has a good functional kitchen with all the equipment you could need on vacation. Gas bbq was very handy - plus a firepit was enjoyed also. The koala visits in the front trees and wandering kangaroos was an extra treat!

Walking distance to everything!

Just spent a week at Tom’s with four kids and the house had a great set up with plenty of rooms, self contained granny flat downstairs and the bonus of having ducted air con. House was very clean and all beds comfortable. Easy walk to beach and grocery store and plenty of kangaroos to see! Good time enjoyed by all.

The perfect place!

This is the second time we have stayed at this house and we all love it. Two families each with two children and a dog fit perfectly and it’s a great place to spend time when we’re not out exploring the island. Last time we forgot to order linen and the owners were absolutely amazing in helping us organize this. We hope to return again next year.
