Family Home - Pets welcome . 15km to Australia Zoo, 20km to amazing beaches.

Beautiful, historic 3 BR Queenslander in the heart of Mooloolah Valley Sunshine Coast, only a short drive to the iconic Australia Zoo and the pristine beaches of the Sunny Coast. Mooloolah is a quiet township with a gorgeous village centre complete with IGA, bakery, cafe, Thai and more. Surrounded by beautiful national parks to explore and the refreshing Ewen Maddock Dam to swim in.

The house is very comfortable, plenty of board games, books and puzzles to keep the kids entertained. You’ll love the convenience of being extremely close to the local shops, playgrounds and skate park. No need to drive into town.
The property has a big, fully fenced backyard and fully fenced front yard, the house is very private.
The huge rear deck has a beautiful views towards Maleny, relax on the outside furniture or have dinner on the 8 seater table watching the sunset. The gorgeous deck is loved by all our guests.

Linen, bedding and towels are provided. New air conditioner installed 23/1/24, new oven installed 12/7/2023.
Wi-fi available.

Cute house

Nat was a gem. She was super friendly and checked in often without being overbearing. The house was cute and cozy. The location is fantastic, being within walking distance to the IGA and the bakery. The local bakery is definitely worth the trip. Their coffee is great, and all their bakery items were delicious.

Off to the Zoo

Natalie’s home is comfy and welcoming . We enjoyed the very homely feel and settled in easily. Natalie’s communication with us throughout the booking process was exceptional. We enjoyed a visit to Australia Zoo and visiting the beaches and Eumundi markets . We travelled with teenage kids , who enjoyed the myriad of games in the house! We found Natalie’s home a very economical option for us with a well set up kitchen and local shops for grocery etc very convenient. I’m sure we’ll be back Thanks Nat 🤗 We

Nice and relaxing

The property provided our family of 6 with a quiet, cozy and well appointed house to enjoy. The house itself has a spacious yard and deck, with a covered downstairs area for children to play. The location is very close to shops and in a quiet little street. We were very pleased with the property and the helpful, friendly communication with the property manager.

Friendly family home

The house was well-appointed and friendly, even if a little quirky. The back verandah was a lovely place to chill out and look over the view. The host was lovely - when our gas bottle ran out she was there within minutes with a new one. Shops only a short stroll away. Very convenient. Only 25 min to beaches and less to Australia Zoo.

Australia zoo holiday

Nat's place was great and so close to Australia Zoo for our 2 days there. It felt homely with a firepit out the back, a nice big verandah for chillaxing and games and books, trampoline, bikes and balls for the kids 8 and 10. Nat always communicated well and went out of her way to make sure we were happy with everything during our stay, and was very hospitable even leaving a few extra treats for us. Good location in town too with IGA, Bottle-o, Indian takeaway, Bakery and more just a short walk. Thanks again Nat for a memorable family break

Mooloolah Getaway

This home has a warm welcoming feeling of days gone by. The host presented it well with little thoughtful touches everywhere. The verandah out back was a real winner for our family. The yard was very private and the views to the hills behind made it very peaceful. The location of the house, being so close to the well stocked supermarket, bottle shop, bakery, cafe and transport was excellent. Thanks for the lovely stay Nat.

My family and I (including my 4 and 1 year old) loved our stay at Natalie’s house.

Natalie was extremely helpful by offering use of a pram and safety gate for the back verandah. Natalie responded to my messages quickly and was very easy to communicate with. The house is in the perfect location, close to everything we needed - especially our morning coffee fix! We visited Australia Zoo and Caloundra beaches during our stay - both so close. I would highly recommend Natalie’s place.

Lovely winter break

We were able to check in early and found little welcome gifts in very comfortable home with great deck and views to the mountains. An ideal backyard for badminton and football, as well as great firepit. The beds were all very comfortable with many extra quilts to keep everyone cosy on cold nights. Short walk to shops including good coffee shop and bakery. Excellent playground across the road from shops which kept our children aged 13 and 5 occupied for quite a while. Our host was very helpful with current information for example advising of horse rides in the park. Very convenient to Maleny and National parks for a day out. We all loved the house and will be back to stay longer next time.

Homely comfort in Mooloolah

Had not heard of Mooloolah valley prior to staying but had a pleasant experience with small shopping strip with everything we would need, a very good playground for those with young kids, and close enough to both Maleny and the coast (pretty much half an hour from everywhere). Property has a lovely feeling of a home rather than anything sterile. To help others be prepared: -there is SO much included within the property, if I had my time over again I would check with the owner before packing things. As an example, the portacot, high chair, stroller we squeezed into the car were completely unnecessary. -Conversely, small absences to note would be the dryer isn't functioning (but laundromat is a couple of minutes walk), and there is only one air conditioned room and the heating function doesn't work (quilts are very warm so this would only be an issue if you, like us, have a little one not in a bed yet). Overall, would definitely recommend for future travels.

Rainforest to Beach Queenslandder

Our family of six travelling from Melbourne for 9 nights were looking for a much needed break from all the stessors of life and we certainly found it here at the Stockmans turn of the Centery Queenslander home perfectly situated in the heart of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Beautiful quiet little clean town with all the basic provisions in town 50mtr walk to shops. This beautiful Mooloolah Valley area is so close to all that you could ever want if it's a day at the beach or a magnificent rainforest walk, a drive up the mountains to Maleny or Montville spectacular places, local produce is next level if thats what your after we loved it! The beautiful old Queenslandder was great very roomy for the six of us not a problem at all with three good size bedrooms plenty of windows to open up when gets warm get the afternoon breeze coming through, has a very well sized rear Verandah you want won't to move once looking at the magnificent veiw towards Meleny hills. Has ample parking in the drive way or drive under the house with lockable doors. Has a well equipped kitchen /bathroom and laundry under house. A Great place all round to stay myself and my family would like to thank Natalie for the hard work she puts in while we were staying nothing was to much and lots of great info on visiting spectacular places. Will be back for sure Thanks again Regards the Forbes Family
