The whales migrate up the Qld coast past Moreton Island each year providing magnificent aerobatic turns and jumps to please the growing crowds of tourists. Toboggan down the largest Sandhills in the World which can be found about 6 klms from Kooringal.

The summer months are magnificent at Kooringal with its burnt orange sunsets and spectacular sun rises. Oh! fishing, squid, flathead, tailor, whiting and more can be caught off the beach. We have two oyster farms at Kooringal who sell the most juicy, fat oysters to the public as well as top class restaurants thoughout Australia.

Mooring your boat is always favourable in the calm waters of Days Gutter. Fresh sand crabs are also found out from the Sandhills which makes Kooringal one of the finest seafood townships in Moreton Bay.

Great location with lots of space!

The Oyster Barn had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. Short walk to the water and short drive to the ‘Beach’ side of the island. We will be back for sure, but will take more people with us next time!

Amazing!

This property was the perfect set up for us- we had 2 couples and a single. We all had lots of space, privacy and our own bathrooms. The outdoor entertainment area was great for card games and drinks. We ate the best prawns from just down the road, would highly recommend this house to anyone 😊

Hidden oasis

Amazing getaway! Was fantastic to switch off from the hustle and bustle of life and experience beautiful Moreton Island! The house was fantastic with separate living areas for groups. We banked our boat on the beach a short walk from the house which was fantastic for trips to the mainland.

Great Family Getaway

Our two families stayed at the Oyster Barn for 4nights. The property is perfect for two families with all the kids staying in the barn and the parents having a flat each. The outdoor kitchen and living area was great for our large group. We had plenty of hot water and power and the house has all the mod cons you need for a stay at Kooringal.

About the host

Hosted by ANTHONY WILLIAMS

Host profile image
This wonderful home is now back for rent after having been permanently rented for the last two years. My wife and myself have lived in Kooringal for 25years and have enjoyed every day, from going to the beach or going fishing and catching whiting, flathead, tailor, sand crab, mud crab, or chewing on the best oysters in the country. We had both grown up in Brisbane and could not believe that Moreton Island was so close to a major city. It is a true paradise. We believe that your holiday at Kooringal sitting back with a drink in the afternoon watching the sun go down or going to watch the sun rise will completely relieve any stress that you might have brought with you from the mainland.

Why they chose this property

We had camped on the Island for ten years before we bought and then decided to buy a rental property to let other people enjoy the Island as we have.
