About this property

Beach Hound (pets welcome)

ABSOLUTE BEACHFRONT family home on 20 miles of old fashioned unspoilt perfect beach. All guests receive a complimentary bottle of chilled champagne on arrival. The home is a highset large three bedroom home with spare shower and toilet downstairs in the large utility area and a great holiday and beach atmosphere. It has internal stairs and a tandem garage. A HUGE deck faces a short forest walk through the dune protection area to the beach with no road to cross! Beach fishing directly behind the home is excellent. Some guests have complained of crab poisoning from eating so many of their catch! Bring your boat and launch it at the double all-tide Toogoom boat ramp. The outdoor furniture includes 2 banana lounges. Half of the 52 square metre deck is covered by a stratco all-weather roof the other half by a stylish professional shade sail. The balustrade is stainless steel horizontal yacht wire. Crabbing and fishing are popular, or just beach-combing for a huge variety of shells. Keep an eye out for dugongs, turtles, and whales from July through October. Cleaning is included in the tarriff. Beach Hound offers total relaxation! Well behaved canine companions are welcome at Beach Hound. We go to Beach Hound regularly ourselves, so we know it is the best!


Toogoom is the last "forgotten" beach frontier, with all mod cons

Toogoom is a sleepy fishing village 15 minutes drive north of the City of Hervey Bay. It has 20 miles of rare unspoilt perfect northerly beach protected by Fraser Island. The sun both rises and sets over the beach, and never blasts you across the water creating a beach that is perfect all day long. The beach never has shadows on it. Swimming is idyllic and SAFE. The beach is shallow for hundreds of metres, with small waves to massage a tired body while you enjoy the black cockatoos and bird life in the she-oaks along the foreshore. The beach has a long off-leash area for dog lovers. When the tide is out, dogs can runs for MILES! There is a 15 m wide dune protection area all the way along Toogoom Beach creating an unbelievably private and quiet beach. All modern conveniences are a 15 minute drive away including the airport, 6 cinemas, restaurants, chain stores, banks etc. There are 5 golf courses and a driving range nearby. Toogoom itself has a general store, service station and "Goodys", a waterfront licensed seafood restaurant beside the boat ramp. Let me recommend the seafood platter!
The back yard is fully fenced, there is a kennel, dog bed, and dog bowls.


"A delightful corner of the world. The dogs want to live here..."

The McLean's:"Again, we enjoyed an idyllic stay at Beach Hound. It is just so relaxing up there - somehow timeless and Casper loves the beach. He is really missing it this week since returning home. He's not the only one! We were so pleased to be able to extend for the extra 3 days at the beginning. It is a lovely corner of the world."
The Morris family: "Lovely! A wonderful getaway. Loved the quiet beach. I'll be coming back!"
The Vohland family:"THANK YOU! Wonderful place, loved the extra touches, felt like home and the puppies just had a ball!!

The Cameron family Gladstone:"Wonderful retreat. Enjoyed our stay so much. Thanks. PS Champers was much appreciated."
McLean family Redcliffe:"A delightful corner of the world. A very comfortable home and much enjoyed by all of us. Thanks!"
Mattock family Chermside:"Dogs loved the beach and Sam loved the kennel. Soo relaxing, we all enjoyed it!"

Relax........tick!
This was our 2nd stay here and it only improved from last time. Clean, comfortable and homely. Wifi was the improvement and it made a big difference. After arriving, we took a short drive to Hervey Bay for groceries. They were short on a few things that we had to top up (rubbish bags, toilet paper, paper towel, dishwasher tablets, dish cloths). These things shouldn't have to be done. We were well equipped with all things related to mozzies, and that is essential. Very disappointed that there was no bowl for food or water for our dog. Couch outside was a great addition. Bugs at night on the balcony made it IMPOSSIBLE to eat or hangout out there. Maybe bug deterring light bulbs would help with that. Access to the beach is definitely a selling point and its just a very short (2min) walk down to the inlet where we'd recommend a nicer swim.

Brilliant location but pack well!
The location is amazing. A few steps out the back door and you’re on the beach. The house was tidy and the smart tv and wifi a welcome addition in the heat. BYO everything. Bathroom soap & shampoo, fly spray & mozzie repellent, spray oil, sauces etc as nothing is provided except tin foil, hand soap and instant coffee. There is a coffee machine that takes Nespresso pods from Coles. All of the living upstairs so you and your dogs must be fairly agile. Once we did a big supermarket shop, we had a great time. Comfy beds and nice big bedrooms, nice linen. Great house in a fabulous spot. Would definitely re-book.
