We were very satisfied with our weekend island stay at Darrens place. Everything was clean and there was lots to do. Loads of space for everyone and everything was so thought out. A short boat trip away was Tipplers which made for a great breakfast on our way home via our boat! Would definitely recommend
The place is even more stunning than the pictures. Every corner, anywhere you rest your eyes is put together with intentionality.The place is well equipped and the owners are quick to respond when there were queries.We can not be more pleased with our choice.
We have rented numerous houses at South Stradbroke Island and this one is immaculate. Great design and well finished, the pontoon is Large and will easily accomodate a 40-50 foot boat. Rooms and bathrooms nicely finished and equipped with AC .. highly recommended this to families looking for a luxury escape.. we will be back !!!
