Great private cottage
Located only 10 minutes from Airlie Beach, this property is a little gem. We stayed for 3 nights with our miniature Schnauzer and everything was perfect. The owners are fantastic, even provided dog water dish and dog towels. The fridge was also stocked with some goodies for us which we very much appreciated. I love the outdoor shower and also the outside seating / cooking area. Would very highly recommend this property.

Great little escape
My partner, Daisy the dog and I stayed at Curlew Cottage. Rhonda met us on arrival, and left some lovely treats. We loved the quiet- loads of birds and butterflies, and the lovely plants surrounding. Cosy cottage, with a great private outdoor shower and an undercover Kitchen and Weber BBQ that gave us all we wanted. Close to Cedar Creek Falls which is great for a swim, and then a hop skip and a jump to Supermarkets and Airlie Beach. We really needed a rest, and the comfy King size bed and cool verandah helped to give us a lovely stay. We will miss our daily visits from Brewster ( well, that's what we called the Rooster) and even our dog looked forward to his daily visits. Thanks for a lovely, relaxing stay

Amazing stay in an excellent location!
My partner and I stayed here for five nights and had an amazing time! The location is excellent as it’s very quiet and peaceful, yet it is only a 10-15 min drive from the heart of Airlie. The accomodation has everything you could need from a Weber, to an outdoor shower. I highly recommend this stay and will most definitely be returning.

Tranquil and comfortable
We had a lovely relaxing week at Curlew Cottage with our dog. All the little extra touches in the cottage and the snacks in the fridge made it special. Kitchen is really functional, outdoor shower was wonderful even on a cool morning and the bed was so comfy. The mozzies were annoying our first day but everything was provided to deal with them, so not a problem in the end. Only downside was the lack of internet but I think they’re fixing that. It didn’t bother us as we had other options. Thanks to Rhonda and Peter for their hospitality.

Fantastic relaxing rainforest glamping experience.
A charming rainforest setting a 10-15 min drive from Airlie Beach set side and secluded from our hosts' residence. Designed for a couple, a single room with comfortable queen bed, private outdoor shower and well equipped cooking facilities. The fridge contained generous treats on arrival and our hosts were wonderful, helpful people. We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay and would love to return in future.

An Amazing Gem of a Cottage
We had a wonderful 3 nights at Curlew Cottage From the moment we arrived we were welcomed & shown around the cottage by our lovely host Rhonda Every thought has gone into making your stay comfortable. There were even some lovely welcome treats in the fridge which we thoroughly enjoyed especially the icecreams - yummy We loved the outside shower We had our dog with us who had a great time as plenty of room to run for a ball & explore the bush. She was allowed inside the cottage as well so she was happy Thank you Rhonda & Pete for your hospitality & making us feel so welcome We will certainly recommend this beautiful little gem to our friends & will definitely try & come back Glenda & James

A little Oasis in the Rain Forest
From the moment we arrived we were greeted by Rhonda who goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need. It was so quiet and peaceful yet sill close to all that Airlie Beach and surrounding areas have to offer. It was great that we could have our dog with us and they accept your fur babies. We hope to visit again one day. Highly recommend for people that love the rainforest and privacy. Alex and Debbie

Welcoming
The host went above and beyond with welcoming us on the first night. Some highlights were margaritas, fresh eggs, mangoes and lychees. The cottage had everything you need for cooking. Our large dog had no problems staying there. Nice and relaxing with a rainforest vibe. Highly recommend.

Stay at Curlew Cottage
This is a wonderful place to stay. Quiet to recharge and relax. So nice to wake up in the morning to sounds of nature - a variety of bird calls to welcome the day. The cottage was well equipped and the host provided a lovely welcome pack of nibbles etc. Rhonda is the perfect host. Can highly recommend a stay here.

Lovely tranquil getaway
We had a wonderful relaxing time at Curlew Cottage. Rhonda was such an amazing host and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was one to remember! The location of the cottage is perfect. It’s close to town yet you feel like you’re miles away. The doggies had the best time exploring and checking out the chooks! The only feedback we have is for dog owners - there aren’t any fences around the property. Luckily Rhonda and Pete are animal lovers so we could keep them inside, but maybe you could possibly think about adding a fence just around the cottage area :) Thanks for a wonderful stay, we will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda Campbell

Host profile image
We came to Airlie Beach approximately 38 years ago to visit friends and fell in love with this stunning area, we purchased a surburban block and built a house but then decided living on acreage would be a more private lifestyle for us as we enjoy the local native wildlife and peacefulness of living out of town

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because we basically only have a neighbour on one side of the property with Crofton Creek on the other boundary which wraps around the back of the property with natural bush......it makes our property very quiet and private.
