We absolutely loved our stay at the Happy House, beginning with a friendly warm welcome from Leah and Rod. The house is very well equipped, having everything we needed. All our guest's enjoyed their relaxing stay. The location is perfect for seeing all the treasures that Fraser has to offer and once back at house each day the wonderful front deck was bliss. We look forward to returning to the Happy House.

All 13 of us had a magnificent time. The house had everything we needed plus more. Plenty of space to gather and relax before or after a day of adventure. Nice and close to the beach so we caught alot of the Seabreeze which was perfect in summer. Leah and Rod the caretakers were exceptionally friendly and helpful and definitely enhanced our enjoyment on the island with all of their tips and advice. The happy house really lives up to its name.

The happy house is amazing. The fire pit and pizza oven were a hit with the both the kids and adults. The huge deck was perfect for having a coffee in the morning and a quiet drink in the evening with plenty of comfy seating for everyone. The house is perfectly located with quick access to the beach, well set up to handle our larger group (multi-generation family) and the kitchen was large enough and well equipped too. There are also solar panels and batteries so we didn’t have to watch the electricity we used, even on rainy days, which was icing on the cake. But honestly for us the real stand out feature of our trip were the on-site caretakers Rod and Leah. They kept to themselves in a seperate building but were always there if we needed them for anything. Nothing was too much trouble for them. From giving us tips and directions to little known destinations outside of the main attractions (this wasn’t our first stay on the island), setting up a gazebo for us in the yard after noticing we had started making pizzas with incoming rain forecast that we were unaware of, to selflessly sharing some amazing food they had cooked with our whole group (after we expressed an interest). And they were so patient and accommodating of the kids who would ambush them with questions and stories if they ever caught a glimpse of them in the yard. It honestly wouldn’t have been the same trip without them both. We highly recommend staying at the happy house and would love to come and stay again!

Leah and Rod were very welcoming and also let us have our space for the week. Having a child under two, I was extremely impressed at how well they have catered for children. I loved that the front gate could shut giving us peace of mind to keep our littlest in. The cupboards were well stocked for everything needed in a home designed for families. We loved the wood fired pizza oven and the fire pit as this is where we congregated every afternoon. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts. A great home away from home!

The Happy House is the perfect place to stay with the extended family. It’s clean and tidy but not fancy which is perfect for the kids! The house is really well equipped. Everything Leah and Rod have listed on the website is in the house. They’re also really knowledgeable about the local area and even though we’ve been to Fraser many times, they still had some extra special places for us to check out. The wood fired pizza oven was lots of fun and the little fire pit out the front was great to sit around and have a chat after the sun went down. The kitchen was really well stocked with plenty of plates, bowls etc and heaps of pots and pans for cooking and the massive bbq on the deck was great for feeding the 14 of us. The location of the house is also really convenient as you’re close to the beach but also the inland tracks, so it’s easy to get to all the major tourist attractions. There’s also a pub and shop 150m up the road. We had a fantastic time and we highly recommend the Happy House to any family who wants to spend some quality time together and one of the most beautiful places in the world! Thanks Rod and Leah!
