About this house rental
Orchid Beach is a small village in the quiet north-east of World Heritage listed Fraser Island. It has fewer visitors than the busy southern end of the Island and is situated on the eastern beach just north of beautiful Waddy Point. Wanyari accommodates up to 8 guests including children. The house was completed early 2007 and has a relaxed, contemporary feel with living over 2 levels. Downstairs are 3 bedrooms (2 with queen beds and one with 4 singles), a bathroom, separate toilet, laundry, large TV / rumpus room and huge deck. Upstairs is open plan with a large, well-appointed kitchen with stainless steel work bench, dining area and leather lounge. The master bedroom is on this level with ensuite and separate toilet. All the windows from this level have spectacular views of the ocean, beach, sand blows, Waddy Point or bush. There is a large deck on this level with a spiral staircase that leads up to our roof-top viewing deck with some of the best ocean views on the Island from Waddy Point to Sandy Cape. Great for whale watching during the humpback migration between July and September, or just for sitting quietly at the end of the day with a drink. The house has been designed to be sensitive to the environment and runs on 24 hour solar power, gas appliances and beautiful Fraser Island water. There is a gas BBQ on the middle deck, a traditional wood BBQ for cooking all those mud or spanner crabs, pippies and a fish cleaning table on the property. There is plenty of room for parking 4WDs and boats. We provide 2 complimentary kayaks for guest use, Our grounds have many bird attracting native shrubs & manicured lawn. A uniquely beautiful destination where you can be as adventurous or as relaxed as you please.

We had a fantastic time at Fraser Island and with 3 toddlers staying in a house was ideal for us. The house had everything we needed and more than we expected and the upper deck had amazing views. The hosts are very lovely and we’re very helpful with assisting us during the February floods and communicated with us a lot leading up to our arrival. Definitely recommend staying. 10 stars.
