Please be aware you will require a four wheel drive to access the island. Fully renovated, this four bedroom, two bathroom beach house oozes coastal charm. There are 4 bedrooms, master bedroom with king bed, 2 guest bedrooms with queen beds and a separate 4th bedroom with a king size bed. The pavillion style house allows separation for those wanting to enjoy a peaceful afternoon snooze in the large parent retreat, children watching a DVD in the TV room, or those enjoying a drink on the deck. The house is fully equipt with modern Kitchen and BBQ facilities and the outdoor fireplace will comfort you on a winters night. Please remember to bring your favorite coffee pods to use in the NESPRESSO machine. Electricity in the house is environmentally friendly solar. Battery supply is great although guests should be mindful of power usage during their stay. A friendly property manager is more than happy to help if any problems arise. PLEASE BE AWARE THE ISLAND IS EXPERIENCING EXTREMELY DRY WEATHER AND WATER TANKS ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING ON BORE WATER. PLEASE BRING PLENTY OF DRINKING WATER. Local Activities Moreton Island "The Gem of South East Queensland" is one of the best experiences that Australia has to offer. One of Australia's largest sand islands, making Moreton Island perfect for that much needed getaway. Moreton is almost completely sand with no roads, so a 4wd is needed past the landing points. Just across the bay from civilisation, Moreton is quickly being discovered as an unspoilt paradise for people wanting to relax and enjoy nature. The house is only a minute walk to the bayside of the island, with calm water for children to play. The surfside is a 5 minute beach drive. A must to experience the most pristine beaches in SouthEast Queensland. A short drive north, for the more energetic, climb the sand dunes, try sand tobogganing or snorkelling at the Tangalooma Wrecks. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Outdoor shower - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Stereo - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor fireplace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Phone ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Fishing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76070000/76067600/76067559/c0423f25.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Relaxed Island Retreat - walking distance to the beach!

We loved the big kitchen and the outdoor area which suited our big group perfectly. This was the first time for us staying at Kooringal right next-door to the Gutter bar. Very convenient and fun. On that side of Moreton Island though you are bound by the tides, and you will have to plan your daytrips carefully. We did have an issue with the bore water being very smelly and brown. The smell was definitely not for the faint hearted. There was no rainwater left. We stayed during peak season though, so this could all have been used by previous large groups during the Christmas period and there hasn't been a lot of rainfall during this holiday either. We might've just been unlucky. Overall great place ##### Maya T.

Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ruth A. 23 Nov 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Having stayed at this property 5 hrs ago we were excited to return.Completely alarmed at the decline The start to our holiday looked promising with an early entry. We were told the thatched roof was leaking & the owners couldn’t get repairs as there were no tradesmen available & that usual cleaners were unavailable. We were a little concerned. Upon entry we found a filthy kitchen, holes in thatched roof as stated, but the general condition of the home had sadly declined dreadfully. We called the owners immediately after our brief inspection & asked them to come back. We pointed out the frying pan full of fat left in the kitchen draw, the filthy oven & kitchen bench. The uncleaned fridge & the cutting boards that should have been thrown out years ago. One of the owners became agitated & at one point aggressive. We were asked what would resolve the problem. We said we were willing to do another clean and stay provided the cleaning fee was waived and we negotiated 1 free night out of our 5 night stay. Three of of us started cleaning, it took us almost 3 hrs. A terrible start to our holiday:-( Over the course of our stay: It rained and water leaked in next to the bed. The dishwasher was disgusting & everything was hand washed for 2 days. Water ran all over the bathroom floor during showering which pooled making it extremely dangerous, needing mopping after every use. Fly screens full of holes in most rooms. To open the windows you had to open & close them from outside as the screens were so tight you could not get to the latches. The grease trap was overflowing with dirty water into the garden & it stunk after washing up or showering. The curtains were full of mould. Couches inside & out filthy. The last straw was waking up with a cockroach under a pillow!! OMG ... the list goes on & on. This is so sad as our first stay was truly amazing. Hence our return. We left the place having cleaned the bbq again (the owners gurneyed it upon our request as it was caked in built up grease). Scrubbed the entire kitchen bench Disinfected all the light switches, door handles & surfaces throughout the house Completely cleaned & serviced the dishwasher Wiped down all the outdoor furniture Put down some cockroach baits Readjusted the shower head to minimise the water flowing out of the shower. We’re sure with a couple of weeks of deep cleaning, repairs & maintenance & some new soft furnishings & cutting boards this property can be restored to how it was when we visited 5 years ago ..which was perfect. TLC is urgently needed! ##### Ruth A. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig S. 31 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Place We have been staying now every year for a while for a blokes only week of fishing & relaxation, there can be some years 6 of us, some only 2 of us but is comfortable either way as is big & roomy & can get away from each other if necessary, the front Bali style hut with fireplace is great for an afternoon drink or nap & the Gutter Bar is within walking distance & only a sort 20 odd minute drive to the Eastern Beach, i will be going back sometime soon with my family as is fantastic for either a blokes week or a family vacation, would recommend The Island Retreat to anyone wanting a great place to stay & relax on Moreton UIsland. ##### Craig S.

The property is quirky and fits perfectly in it surrounds. There is plenty of room for large family groups to chill out without being on top of each other. The house has some minor maintenance issues that could easily have been fixed. The house needs a thorough clean, especially in the kitchen. We ran out of electricity several nights even though we were extremely careful of power usage And although days were sunny, we had to run the generator. Page was a very helpful host and replied promptly to my questions. I would certainly book the Retreat again providing the maintenance issues and cleaning were improved. ##### Heather F.

Property was very disappointing for us . It has insufficient fans in house ! The bunkhouse is as hot as a sauna and could not be slept in! The parents retreat out back fan was moving as slow as a snail and could not be slept in , and the bathroom in parents retreat is a absolute breeding ground for mosquitoes. Therefore four our my family members had to sleep on mattresses on kitchen floor where there was a fan . We ran out of gas at 9pm on Christmas night . When advertising this property you should really include a copy of the house rules booklet too so people are aware of the do,s and don’t when a house is run on solar power. It was not a enjoyable experience. ##### Jenny M. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Kara F. 16 Nov 2018 #### Beautiful island getaway Great house for a large group. Kitchen is amazing. In a lovely spot. Lots to see and do. Even when it’s raining!! ##### Kara F. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### justine d. 21 Oct 2018 #### Great house , space for everyone . We loved the Island Retreat and already planning to go back . Very stylish interiors with comfy beds ! The layout of the house is great and we particularly loved the outdoor area . The solar power and tank water really threw us at first (and we got worried we would run out of power and water... but didn’t) Kitchen had everything we needed and more . A few more insect screens in the bunk room would be great as the midgies and sandflies are hungry and plentiful. The house is well placed and a short walk from the beach.
