About this property

Eclectic Paradise, Large House - Prime Beachside Location

We have owned and manage this property ourselves for over 20 years, we do not use real estate agencies or other third parties to look after our property. In addition we do many of the cleans and regular spring cleans on the property to keep it in good order. We sometimes will even get to meet you if we do the clean before you arrive. We endeavour to give our guests that personal touch and care to ensure that you have the best possible holiday experience. We are contactable and available to provide you with assistance for the whole duration of your stay. Eclectic Paradise is our preferred holiday destination, and are continually improving the facilities on offer. Guests have full use of the entire house. We are currently redoing the gardens.

All bedrooms now have ceiling fans and oil column heaters. In addition we have expanded the house with weather walls on the outdoor entertaining areas both upstairs and downstairs to increase comfort during times of windy and rainy weather.

We have owned Eclectic Paradise, one of the first properties to be built in Bambara street since 1998. It has been updated sympathetically ,maintaining many of its original 1960's decore and features, with a contemporary twist. Ceiling and wall fans have just been installed for cool comfort. Note that the property is not airconditioned and the kitchens do not have dishwashers. If you want to stay in a clean and well presented roomy rustic older style 1960's beach house with many of the original features of that era in a fantastic eastern beachside location, then our property will fit the bill.

Straddie is a pristine wilderness and there is plenty of wildlife you will have a good chance of seeing in or near our house such a kangaroos, koalas, plovers, curlews, kookaburas and many different types of honeyeaters. In the ocean, whales, dolphins, turtles, stingrays, many different types of fish and coral. The snorkelling is good as the water is so clear. Being one of Queensland's premier holiday locations, Straddie can become busy with holiday makers during the school holiday periods. There are other holiday homes located in Bambara street.

The property is a large three bedroom two level renovated original Straddie beach house situated in a perfect central location on the ocean side of the main road in quiet leafy Bambara street. The property is a close walking distance to all major beaches and shops without having to cross any busy main roads.

The property is fully screened and has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom + powder room, full kitchen and a large separate all weather outdoor living area, sleeps up to 6 people and pet friendly. Perfectly suited for two families wishing to holiday together. The property can accommodate 6 people in comfort with space for all without having to trip over each other. Bed Linen and bath towels are supplied in a cupboard located in the laundry, so help yourself, and it is up to the guest to make their own beds. We prove bath towels and mats but not beach towels, please bring your own beach towels.
