"Mulloka on Moreton" is a special place meaning, "Great Spirit" and provides the perfect coastal retreat for up to two families or a group of friends. Accommodation consists of three bedrooms; two master bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with a double bed and one bunk room with two sets of single bunk beds. There is one internal bathroom which is separated from the main accommodation by a covered breezeway. There are also two outdoor showers, one at the rear of the property offering hot & cold water and the opportunity to shower under the stars! The other is located on the driveway so that you can wash off the sand and salt before you sit back and relax with a cold beverage in your hand.. The breezeway is the perfect space to relax offering an outdoor dining table, lounge and BBQ. On the lawn you'll find beanbags, a hammock, tire swing, fire pit and plenty of space to have a game of cricket or volleyball. Our home has been designed to offer a relaxed beach holiday with plenty of break out spaces as well as space to come together. Moreton Island is the third largest sand island in the world and is only 1.5 hours from Brisbane. Access to Moreton Island is by Vehicle Ferry on the MICAT. All roads are sand so you will require a 4WD and a Vehicle Access Permit to drive on the island. Things to do: Pack a picnic and walk or drive to a variety of deserted, sundrenched, white sand beaches and swim in the crystal clear waters. Lounge around on the manicured lawn large enough for games of cricket, volleyball or petanque! Entertain in the outdoor living and dining areas and enjoy a game of Trivial Pursuit or a family movie night, followed by a cold beverage and a toasted a marshmallow by the fire pit while stargazing the stunning night sky....and that's just day1! For the rest of your holiday explore the island's 4WD tracks discovering stunning locations including North Beach's Champagne Pools & Honeymoon Bay, snorkel The Wrecks, toboggan The Desert and the Big Sandhills, go fishing at the Timbers, have a seafood platter at The Gutter Bar, watch the sunset on the beach at Days Gutter...or simply grab a book and watch the world go by from your beach chair in this unspoilt paradise! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Shower ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Stereo - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - No lift - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a village - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Billiards/pool table - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing 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) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - 100% renewable energy - Garden - Recycling ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99770000/99763500/99763456/d94b4d3e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Island Home is Located on beautiful Moreton Island in the township of Kooringal Kooringal - Kitchen - Washer - Parking available - Barbecue grill 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-01&endDate=2025-12-02&selected=99763456&PinnedHotelID=99763456&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34490000/34487800/34487702/37e3e256.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Black Pelican Family Home - Sunsetters Beach Kooringal - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-01&endDate=2025-12-02&selected=34487702&PinnedHotelID=34487702&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27120000/27115900/27115855/5e1c1350.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Island Retreat - Kooringal Kooringal - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.2 Wonderful 33 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-01&endDate=2025-12-02&selected=27115855&PinnedHotelID=27115855&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34010000/34008600/34008576/74feed5f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa 15 Tangalooma Resort Moreton Island Tangalooma - Sea view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 133 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-01&endDate=2025-12-02&selected=34008576&PinnedHotelID=34008576&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102200000/102195800/102195744/2cf2c25b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BANYANDAH WATERS BEACH HOUSE!

Perfect size for us. Good outdoor area and KOORINGAL was a great location. Missed the BBQ for cooking but we were told about this before our trip and was understandably hard to fix because of the cyclone slowing down the process. Definitely would recommend for a group of our size (4 adults and 3 kids). ##### Caitlin T.

There is a hol;e in the gas burner line that kept catching on fire. Had to turn it off and cook in open fire. ##### Scott H.

Just so you know, the door lock is not there? The door latch itself is fine, but the metal bracket it hooks into is missing. We closed the door and put the key back into the secure lock, but the door itself isnt locked? Please check. thanks Dan ##### Dan K.

Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda K. 9 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Well equipped traditional beach cottage close to great fishing beaches on both sides of the island We had an amazing time here - caught some wonderful Taylor and Flathead and enjoyed a few cold drinks and light food at the Gutter Bar - the beach cottage is very well equipped and we made good use of the kitchen facilities and the BBQ - being solar driven, sometimes there is not enough hot water for everyone, so first in best dressed - this did not spoil our trip at all. Would definitely recommend this place for a big family as value for money not suited to smaller groups. Great location and Natasha was on the ball with communications in relation to check in and how to get to the property. When taking your own linen, just need fitted sheets and a light doonah cover as doonahs are provided. Take lots of insect repellant for the sand flies on the beach. Had an excellent time. ##### Linda K.
