Absolutely amazing accommodation for families! Large undercover entertaining area with BBQ & kitchen, parents retreat & the barn style accommodation for children is awesome! Gives them their own space & really makes a trip more exciting for them.
The Oyster Barn had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable.
Short walk to the water and short drive to the ‘Beach’ side of the island.
We will be back for sure, but will take more people with us next time!

Amazing!
This property was the perfect set up for us- we had 2 couples and a single. We all had lots of space, privacy and our own bathrooms. The outdoor entertainment area was great for card games and drinks. We ate the best prawns from just down the road, would highly recommend this house to anyone 😊
Amazing getaway! Was fantastic to switch off from the hustle and bustle of life and experience beautiful Moreton Island! The house was fantastic with separate living areas for groups. We banked our boat on the beach a short walk from the house which was fantastic for trips to the mainland.
We have stayed at the Barn a few times now, always very clean, tidy and well maintained, the owner Tony is very easy to deal with and the house is perfect for a couple of families, can't wait to go back!

Great Family Getaway
Our two families stayed at the Oyster Barn for 4nights. The property is perfect for two families with all the kids staying in the barn and the parents having a flat each.
The outdoor kitchen and living area was great for our large group. We had plenty of hot water and power and the house has all the mod cons you need for a stay at Kooringal.
