5.0 / 5.0
Children loved the pool and short walk to beach.
The house was very comfortable and great for three generations
The only slight drawbacks were that the TV in kitchen/ dining area was very temperamental . Sometimes worked really well and at other times came up with message saying no signal review antennae which upset the cricket fans amongst us. However we were not often at home or wanting to turn Tv on so no real problem.The other issue was that the downstairs bedroom was not air conditioned and on hot nights needed to have fan on full . Thank you for a great holiday

Great spot for your next staycation
We were unlucky to have the worst beach weather (wet & wild all week), but we really enjoyed being cooped up together in this house. Great location, lovely pool & deck area with bushy outlook and the sound of crashing waves to fall asleep. Plenty of space for lounging & playing games. And if the sun was shining ….

Beautiful and relaxation 10/10
This location was perfect for our few days away. We easily drove to Coolum for a walk and lunch. There are some nice paths for walking and a quick walk to get to the beach.
The house is utterly gorgeous and was very well stocked with everything we needed such as kitchen appliances & utensils.

Incredible Stay
This house is incredible! First of all it’s stunning and As soon as we entered we could just feel the weight of the world slip off our shoulders and let the holiday begin!
It’s so quiet and peaceful, the backdrop of nature and the sounds of the waves makes you feel like your in your own little oasis.
Will definitely return!

Stunning house in great location
We loved this place! A beautiful house and pool, yes, but also very tranquil. I loved the outlook onto the paperbarks and hearing the ocean so close by. Going to the beach along the boardwalk through the conservation area and walking back with lovely views of Mt Coolum was a treat. Would love stay there again.

Property perfect except lacking back fence for safety.
Would have been good if there was a back fence for safety for small children or animals otherwise the property was perfect

We stayed at "The Dunes" for 11 days and had a fantastic time. Location was great with the beach a short stroll. Cafes were nearby and the house was wonderful. Everything was spotless when we arrived and the check-in process with Vicki was seamless. A great stay....we will be back.

Stunning birthday getaway
I stayed at Dunes with 10 girlfriends to celebrate my 40th birthday. The house was perfect, very spacious, great pool. Loved the master bedroom with its own balcony. Very short walk to the beach via a boardwalk, Mount Coolum in the background, just stunning. Only negative was the amount of mozzies.

Always a beautiful beach holiday
Our third stay at the Dunes, won’t be our last.
Great location, easy walk to dog friendly beach. The house is beautiful, nothing better than to have morning coffee looking out at the paper barks. It has everything you need, all the touches of home.

Outstanding holiday home
Open, spacious and well-appointed property with everything required for an extended family to enjoy our stay. Really liked the private outdoor area with bush aspect yet so close to the beach.
Vicki was very friendly to deal with and ensured we settled in quickly.
Overall, a fantastic experience. You will not be disappointed.

Girls long weekend
This property was delightful and did not disappoint. The open plan living, the spacious rooms and the outdoor entertaining area were fabulous. We were amazed at how well appointed the kitchen was with all of the appliances and cutlery that we needed. Th location was perfect and the setting so peaceful. We will be back next year for our annual girls get together.

Awesome stay at The Dunes Coolum
The stay at the Dunes was amazing. The house is awesome and Vicky could not have been more helpful. I highly recommend this house. Everything you need is in the house. The beach is close, Coffee is close, Supermarket is near by. Surf Club is an easy walk.

Outstanding Property and Location
Amazing property in an outstanding and very private location. Plenty of room for kids to have their own space and leave you with yours. A short stroll to the deserted and wide beach (less than a minute for us). There was nothing at all that did not exceed our expectations and one of the best properties in which we have stayed. My wife's preference was to not return home but to buy the property - so that must mean something. Highly recommend for a private family get away.

Great family holiday

The Dunes was wonderful
This house was amazing, everything you would ever want in a holiday home and then some. Great location and so close to the beach. Had plenty of additional equipment that we could use like boogie boards and scooters which was a great touch and the kids room was an absolute godsend - the kids could not stay out of the room. Will definitely be returning to this wonderful home.

Incredible House
We could not have celebrated my partners 40th Birthday at any better a place than this. The house was beautiful, spacious and very well supplied with anything from bikes and surfboards to games and a built in speaker system. Right at the beach and a great cafe at the end of the street made for a perfect stay. We will absolutely be back and can't wait for our next visit. :-)
