The Donnybrook retreat was a very fun place to stay with my friends for a few nights. The location made it easy to entertain ourselves. Kylie is also a lovely host and was very active in communicating.
My Sisters and myself loved our stay at Donnybrook. It was close to all the things we had planned to do on our trip away. The house is lovely and had everything you could need for a good stay away and more. I would recommend staying here if you love the feel on been at home when away and love peace and quiet time. Everything run smoothly for our stay there and the Host was great as well.
We really enjoyed our stay. I would recommend others to book. Kylie is very helpful and responsive.
She is very generous with the extra's like Milk,tea, coffee, cereals and games. The only improvement I could suggest is that down stairs carpet and couches need to be cleaned thoroughl. ,
Our stay was relaxing doing what we love Scrapbooking and our host had presented the property in a clean and inviting way. The property is situated in a quiet area with good walking areas and views and we would have no hesitation of using the house again. The Scrapbookers.
Had a very relaxing time. Plenty of games, fishing, swimming. We found the secret little local jetty, and the kids just kept wanting to go there (hidden in the park opposite the house). Kelly is very helpful and obliging.
Good comfortable accommodation owner good to communicate with heaps of room for everyone

Donnybrook Retreat
The house was not as clean as I hoped. Allergies going off most the stay. Another thing that didn’t make our stay perfect was a call I got from the owner the day before arriving. Didn’t seem happy that we were staying and started to throw opinions on us as she thought we were going to party. After telling her we are responsible and would respect her house like its ours, she let out a huge sigh and started talking down on me like she was my parent. However, good location and size of house.
This is a beautiful home, and extremely well equipped for a holiday stay. Very comfortable, and clean! Photos do not do justice :)
We look forward to returning on our next trip!
This property is so much more than the pictures show. There is room for all with a range of activities to suit everyone. The furniture is comfortable, the kitchen well stocked with just about everything you need we took a coffee pod machine 😊 and a small air fryer The pool was well loved by the younger ones but the weather was a little cool for prolonged use . The owners are lovely and so helpful. Thank you Kylie for sharing your house with us for 2 weeks Would recommend and visit again
We found the house roomy and suited all our needs. Very relaxing and quiet. Local residents are extremely friendly and happy to help if needed. Great family holiday if you are prepared to travel to activities or just lounge around.
Very welcoming. Plenty to do recreationally for the younger ones while those of senior years relax (me!).
We mistakenly packed a freezer pack, which I will put in the post tomorrow.
Many thanks once again for facilitating a great family holiday.
Our group of 9 people had a great time having a relaxing new years weekend away. Kids had a great time in the pool and enjoyed a walk around the quiet streets. Kids were never bored which meant the parents could relax.
We would be more than happy to stay again 😁
Such a family friendly holiday rental in a quiet area, with a pool perfect for the little ones and enough room to run around! We spent a lot of time by the pool and gazebo. Everything you need and more with a short drive to Bribie. Would definitely return for another holiday
Our stay here was so nice , very comfortable really made it feel like home away from home very clean. Huge house enjoyed the outdoor area and pool, the kids loved the theatre and games room. Our host was so accommodating and we felt very welcome.
The area was beautiful and quiet, Fishing jetty down the road also more local fishing spots between Donnybrook and Toorbul overall everyone was happy and caught a fish.
We bought the house in August 2019 and have spent 6 months renovating the house to a very comfortable standard. We have installed a third bathroom which is now the en-suite for the master, the pool has been resurfaced and the floorboards have been sanded and waxed to ensure comfort. We originated from WA and now reside on the Sunshine Coast to be closer to our families, and we love the QLD lifestyle and rain, rain is awesome.
Why they chose this property
Looking to unwind and relax less than an hour away from Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast with enough room for the whole family? Then the Donnybrook Retreat is the place for you, you can relax in the Cabana overlooking the pool, take a dip or just watch the kids, make use of the BBQ and Kayaks provided, or just relax in air conditioned comfort to escape the heat. We have created 2 seperate TV areas with a Theatre room in the back of the house for those who wish to enjoy a movie or PS3 game while the front living room has a TV opposite the large kitchen that you can watch while the kids do their thing, the yard is fully fenced and we have a security/sensor light in the front. There is a carport in the back yard to keep your vehicle undercover. An outside table and chairs on the front verandah is a lovely place to eat meals or just hang out and slow down to the local pace of life. Across the road is a huge reserve area ideal for a stroll or a big game of cricket or footy for the whole family. Take leisurely strolls along the waterfront or take the kids down to the skatepark and playground for some fun or to shoot some hoops.
