About this property

Hillcrest House—A Poolside Retreat on the Coast

Nestled a 15-minute stroll from the beach, iconic Scarness Jetty and the Esplanade lined with bars, shops and eateries—this family home embodies Queensland’s coastal lifestyle. A true oasis designed for indoor-outdoor living, it comes with a private swimming pool, alfresco dining and lounging on the deck and a BBQ for cooking up a feast. Inside, grand proportions allow plenty of space to spread out or come together, enjoying air-conditioning, a modern kitchen and dedicated office.
Warm, inviting and with all the hallmarks of quintessential Queensland living, this home will hit the spot. Surrounded by leafy gardens where kids and pets can play, it features a two-level design, with interiors that flow to the outdoors. Every modern convenience is catered for, making this a fantastic option for families or groups.

From the upper level, views of the ocean and neighbourhood create a lovely backdrop to your stay. Full-length glass bathes the space in beautiful natural light and creates an airy, spacious feel. The full kitchen is designed around an island, equipped with sophisticated appliances to whip up a feast at home. Come together around the dining table or take things downstairs into the garden. The living area opens to a front balcony and is a comfortable space to unwind in front of the smart TV with air-conditioning to keep things cool. This flows through to a dedicated office, fit with a desk and chair for those working from home.

Each of the four bedrooms ensures a good night's sleep. The primary bedroom features air-conditioning, a plush king-sized bed with a walk-in wardrobe and a modern ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom also comes with air-conditioning and a king-sized bed, while the third and fourth bedrooms contain queen-sized beds, with plenty of wardrobe space throughout for your belongings. Refresh within the main bathroom, where you can choose from both a bathtub and shower. Downstairs, you'll find one toilet and a separate shower, accessible via the garage with internal doors. Additionally, enjoy the convenience of private laundry facilities, ideal for longer stays.

Parking is provided in the three-car garage and driveway.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!

Queensland’s Fraser Coast is a stretch of idyllic coastline that faces Fraser Island – the world’s largest sand island. The coastal suburb of Scarness, in Hervey Bay, offers stretches of sand, excellent fishing spots and a friendly atmosphere along the Esplanade. While in the area, walk along Urangan’s famous pier at sunset, which stretches more than 800m across the water. This is also the departure point for whale-watching tours and the ferry to Fraser Island. Check out the Pier Park Community Markets, held each Wednesday and Saturday (7 am-1 pm) and the Hervey Bay Botanic Gardens. Dine along the waterfront at Aquavue and Salt Café.

Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.

We are pet-friendly - please add the number of pets you're travelling with and let us know about your furry friend at the time of booking. We will reach out to charge a pet fee of $100.

The property is equipped with external cameras for security purposes.
