We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful home! We wish we could have stayed longer. Our hosts were very kind and their communication was excellent. The house is very roomy and has so many gorgeous touches. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we got to enjoy a stunning sunset on the back deck. You won't regret staying here, and next time we're holidaying in the area, we'd love to stay again. Thanks again! :)

We had a wonderful stay! The home is beautiful with lovely decor and a welcoming feel. It was such a bonus that it’s pet-friendly. The thoughtful touches like wine, snacks, and breakfast provisions made us feel right at home. Communication with the owner was fast and easy. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway

Thank you again

Boz and Simon were fantastic hosts who were very accommodating and were just up the road if we ever needed anything.The photos of the house do not do it justice. The rooms and living spaces were huge, with a great big deck with a small BBQ out back, with floor to ceiling windows offering amazing views of the susan river within River Heads. The property backs onto the river inletand gets a fantastic breeze.The house was so clean and tidy, and had all the amenties you could think of, from an eski and bag of ice in the freezer, picknick hamper to the basic necesseties such as sandwhich bags and cling wrap.This was a true Bed & Breakfast experience, with fresh bread, butter, eggs, bacon, cheese, milk, coffee/tea available on arrival, and even a few tasty beers and wine!! As we stayed over Christmas, Boz and Simon even had the foresight to provide a small bag of christmas decorations, which helped us get into the christmas spirit.The kitchen was huge and beautiful, with everything we needed to cook up a few meals.The property is only a short stroll to the local shop, and close to the barge to Fraser Island.Honestly, for the property, the price is a steal for what you get. Would encourage anyone to stay at Boz and Simons place, you wont regret it.The only thing I can think of for an improvement is to put an AC in the bedrooms, as it got a bit warm one of the nights, but thats only if I'm being nitpicky. There is AC in the living space which gets the house frosty.

Fantastic Stay

The house is really comfortable and extremely welcoming. The hosts went out of their way to make our stay fantastic. It is in a beautiful, quiet location with water views and kangaroos come into the back yard in the afternoons. Will definitely stay again next year!

Peaceful and picturesque

This is a stylish and thoughtfully appointed property which blends beautifully with its quiet scenic location. It's not far from Hervey Bay, and we enjoyed having a break from the hustle and bustle of South East Queensland. The hosts were helpful and friendly. We would have loved to have stayed for longer, just soaking up the gorgeous outlook.

Perfect pause before K’gari

Beautiful quiet setting away from crowds and so close to K’gari access. The home is beautifully appointed and hosts incredibly helpful. The perfect place to pause before heading over to the island or coming back.

Our 4 night break - 4 adults

An impressive property with lovely open plan living areas, large deck and beautiful views. The hosts went out of their way to make sure every little detail was covered. There were so many extras such as breakfast supplies for the first two mornings, a welcome white and red wine plus beers for our first night. Lunch ham and cheese etc too. The kitchen and laundry were extremely well equipped. The residence was beautifully clean with quality towels, sheets etc. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Simon and Boz.
