'Moreton escape' is 100 metres to "Days Gutter" and the pristine waters of eastern Moreton Bay.
Situated at the very northern end of the Kooringal township and overlooking beautiful native bush-land. If its splendid isolation you are looking for, then look no further. 'Moreton Escape's park like surroundings keep it completely private. The only passing cars you will see are people who have lost their way.
The house is designed to accommodate two families (MAX OF 9) with an open plan living, dining, kitchen area that opens out to a fully covered deck with a large outdoor dining table and BBQ which flows down to a large lawn and gardens with a fire Pitt built in.
PLEASE NOTE: Mattress protectors, pillows and doonas are provided. Sheets and towels are NOT provided, please bring your own.
Bedroom 1. King bed
Bedroom 2. Double Bed
Bedroom 3. Queen bed
Bedroom 4. Three single beds
Please bring at least one beach towel and one bath towel per person.
The house runs on solar power only and has a generator for back up. Whilst there is plenty of power please don't use hairdryers as it will drain the power very quickly!
The house runs on tank water and guests must be mindful of water usage. It is also advisable to bring plenty of drinking water.
As there are no sealed roads you will need a 4WD. A barge runs to the Island from Brisbane to Tangalooma. See the Moreton Island Adventures website for details.
"Days Gutter" provides an excellent "All Weather" anchorage for boats as well as superb fishing, squidding, crabbing and oystering. It is a haven for dugong, turtles and all types of sting rays and sharks. It is also a bird watching mecca.
Apart from being amazing in it's own right, Kooringal is a great base from which to explore the Island. 10 minutes over inland tracks and you arrive on Main Beach. From there it is 40 minutes to Cape Moreton, but that's only if you don't stop on the way. If you decide to head north along the western beach towards the sand hills and Tangalooma, well that's like living in a painting.
And after a big day exploring and back at 'Moreton Escape' you can relax and kick back. No noise. Just the birds. It's lovely!

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at Moreton escape.
The house and yard was great the location was very convenient
We would definitely rebook here
Our stay at this beachside house was nothing short of fantastic! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to pristine beaches. The house itself is beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated, providing a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The outdoor patio was a perfect spot for morning coffee and evening relaxation. The host was very accommodating and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. We can't wait to return for our next trip!
We stay regularly at Moreton Escape to run research trials and absolutely love coming back! The house has everything needed for a truly pleasant stay and we couldn't recommend it more. The host is very attentive and accommodating, with all arrangements effectively communicated. Thank you!
