Umpys Humpy

Great location, away from the crowds further north. Lovely large kitchen, well appointed and functional. Wonderful dining area on the covered deck. All of the sleeping options were clean and tidy. The wall fans in the main house bedrooms were fantastic. Would certainly consider staying there again.

Moreton Nov/Dec 2023

Awesome place to stay! The house was clean and tidy, and equipt with everything we needed. We loved the set-up of the house. Lovely quiet part of the island with lovely locals. Mosquito coils a must at that end of the Island.. Sean was helpful and great to communicate with prior to our stay. We had a great time staying at Umpys Humpy. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you Sean!

Great house in sleepy fishing village

Umpy’s Humpy was a fantastic property with everything we needed for our stay. It was neat and clean, well equipped kitchen, great deck and outdoor fire! Communication with the owner was easy and helpful. And even though there was one bathroom to share with 8 people, it worked! The local pub was also great! The house is located in a sleepy fishing village that is super quiet and the houses are all very close to each other so noise travels very well! We had a few noise complaints and our level of noise was pretty tame, especially given we had 8 adults and we were generally in bed by 10 and earlier most nights. Overall a fantastic property and a great experience on beautiful Moreton! Paradise in our own backyard!!

Escape the Rat Race

Umpys Humpy is a unique “beach shack”, if wanting all the mod cons of a technology world this place is probably not for you. If wanting to reconnect with family or friends and the beach then this is atop place to do it. We had a problem with the water pump constantly turning off but we were made aware of the issue before arrival. The joys of living on an island where Tradies are not available 24/7.

Photos don’t do the place justice

What a lovely place to stay. Had the best time on Moreton and the house was a big part of that. The photos don’t do the place justice as it’s so much better in person. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great house in a beautiful location

Our trip was amazing and was great to have a really nice home base to come home to each night, sitting by the large fireplace each night was awesome. The house had a real beach side feel and was cozy we felt like it was like being at home, the neighbours are great and very friendly. We would definitely do a return trip the house was perfect for us

Great Fisherman’s House.

Good for adults not sure the environs would be good for kids. Midges and some rubbish in grounds would be a deterrent
