The property was advertised as a beach shack. It was a 50 year old fibro building with limited access to electricity. It was dirty, with wood rot and peeling paint. The bed was ridiculous, and the offer of a few bits of foam from the renter was a joke. It took three days to work out how to get a hot shower adequately. There is not way this property would meet any building codes and should not be put up for rent. And it was not cheap, so price was not the issue.

An oldie but a goodie! 🌴🌿
What an amazing private little piece of paradise, with walking access less than 5 mins to the beach, No drive by cars so very safe for the kids even with a sneaky ocean view to enjoy our happy hour drinks each afternoon. Loved our stay and will be back again. Thanks Bree for sharing your little hidden gem.

No doors, tiny rooms, no real entertaining area.
To be fair, it is an old property and for its age I guess it did the job. We were not aware it would be soo small with no doors and snoring kept us all up.
It was clean and usable.

Good location. Property manager Bree is very helpful and friendly. Cottage is clean and comfortable enough however some ceiling fans would be appreciated as it gets very hot at night with no breeze. Good fridge and separate chest freezer to keep your food cold. Could not get the oven or grill to work and was frustrated there were no tongs anywhere we could find, otherwise cuutlery and dishes selection good and BBQ cooked well enough. Would stay again but next time I'll bring a fan.

Four years ago my wife and I stayed at Bree’s cottage in Happy Valley with my brother & sister-in-law from UK and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we were impressed by Bree’s thoughtfulness for her guests. So this year when our daughter and two children living in UK suggested a visit to Fraser Island we immediately thought back to our previous visit and were delighted to find Bree’s cottage was available at a price which compared very favourably with other advertised accommodation. We were not disappointed.
Bree welcomed us back on our arrival, gave us an overview of the property and area and, given our two grandchildren were there, ensured that any safety issues were covered.
The property is basic, but clean and good value as a base for exploring and enjoying Fraser Island. We knew from previous experience that Bree is concerned for the welfare of her guests and is knowledgeable about the area, providing valuable information and advice. The same applied this visit. The fact that Bree’s property next door was occupied by a family there for the ninth time sums it up — basic but sufficient accommodation with a welcoming introduction and personal attention to her guests.

Best place to reflect the meaning of Fraser Island
Our stay at the cottage was amazing. So simple and prefect. If your truly a Fraser Island person you will love the cottage . But if you want 5 star Gold Coast, stay at the Gold Coast . Bree was so amazing and her place reflects the true meaning of being with one of the island . Thank you Bree for being a amazing host and giving us the chance to experience one of the last Fraser Island beach holidays cottages experiences.

A taste of the timeless K'gari
Good value for money - this quaint little fishing shack was a great jumping off point to explore K'gari. It was brilliant to have a well equipped kitchen to cook our own meals and a outside cooker for some lovely bake ups. Communication with the host was great and she was very generous in helping us to get the cooker working etc, We enjoyed our stay.

The Ultimate Fishing Shack
Absolutely perfect for three blokes going fishing for a few days. Bree was very accommodating when we arrived and made sure we had everything we required. Very easy access to the beach and general store. No TV but that was all part of the experience. We all came back totally relaxed.
