The Happy House is located at Happy Valley on the Eastern, surf side beach on K'gari, and to get there a 4wd vehicle is ESSENTIAL.

Happy Valley is almost mid way along the beautiful 75 mile ocean surf beach and we think K’gari has the best beaches in Qld.

K'gari - is a World Heritage listed National Park and the most beautiful location.

The Happy House is situated near the front of Happy Valley, it is only a 70m stroll down the boardwalk to the 75 mile ocean surf beach.

Its only a 150m stroll on the boardwalk in the opposite direction, back to the local corner shop. The shop sells ice, groceries, takeaway, bait and fuel, souvenirs and barista coffee.
There is also bar / restaurant and an ATM, an Australia Post box and even a public pay phone.

From the house, it is only a 10 min drive North along the beach to lovely Eli Creek and 15 minutes to the famous Maheno ship wreck.

We had a fantastic time on Fraser staying in the Happy House. Our group was 6 adults and 6 children, and there was plenty of room for everyone in the house. The balcony was huge and it was perfect for relaxing after a big day out, and with plenty of room to share all our meals together. Everything was clean and tidy, just as depicted in the pictures. The hosts, Rod and Leah, were super helpful and great to have onsite. They gave us lots of tips and tricks that made our stay all the better. The Happy House is in a brilliant location for day tripping, and having the shop/pub nearby took care of the kids daily ice cream quota! I cannot recommend this house highly enough - it was just brilliant!

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.
