Take a day out Beach Driving
At low tide take advantage of beach driving Rainbow Beach, check out the beautiful coloured sands, and at the point enjoy the nature made lake one side or surf the other for a different day out. From here you can take the Leisha track to the other side of Double Island Point, heading south. Not far south from here, your can take the Freshwater 4WD Track which brings you out 5kms out of Rainbow Beach on the main road in. The freshwater track is an alternative when the tides don't suit or are too high at Rainbow Beach, or simply to spend the day at the point, and travel home on the Freshwater track. Be certain to check with locals the state of the track as sometimes it can have deep sand. Otherwise, a great alternative to the beach, a nice scenic rainforest track.
Relax
Rainbow Beach is a relaxing small township, where you can wind down very quickly. Take a good book, and alternate between the beach and the private back yard on a sunlounger with a bush outlook.

We stayed three nights and wish we had booked for longer. The Swans Nest is well equipped all around. Beds are very comfortable. Great outdoor area bordering onto bushland. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and beach. Quiet neighborhood. We and the dog had a great time and we are looking forward to another stay in the future.

This was a perfect little unit for our weekend getaway. The unit was clean and comfortable and was equipped with all that we needed for the weekend. Being pet-friendly we were able to take our border collie and were confident that she was always safe with the secure yard. It was very affordably priced and the owner/managers were always helpful with any communication. It was close enough to the centre of Rainbow Beach to walk to shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

"beach house" Well presented but with aircon. Lots pots pans spices. Had everything we needed.
Outside showers at the front and one enclosed at the back. Handy to get all the sand off from the beach.
Couple walks in the short time we were there. Sand blow reasonably hard. Great views on the Inskip Point walk and good paths through the native forest. All in all great house to stay at.

Once again we have had a wonderful and relaxing time! The property is in the perfect location, the owners have made improvements every year we have come, it's neat, tidy and clean each visit!
We're already looking forward to next year's annual visit!
Highly recommend!

The Swans Nest Beach House was absolutely marvellous! It was squeaky clean, wonderfully roomy, and the location couldn't have been better. It's super close to all the conveniences, yet it's tucked away in the midst of nature, giving us that peaceful holiday feeling. We absolutely adored the outdoor shower, and the availability of bikes was brilliant! We are definitely planning to come back for another stay!

Great couple of nights in Rainbow Beach with our doggo. So clean! Very comfortable bed, awesome shower and a secure fully fenced backyard for kids and dogs. There is no wifi and the mobile signal wasn’t great, so rid yourself of any work computering emergencies before you get there! Other than that, definitely recommended!

The property was very clean and had everything that we wanted. We took our Westy with us and she enjoyed herself as well.
We would recommend it to anyone, and we will be returning next year.

5.0 / 5.0
Very nice. Fence was high and dog proof. Tiles looked like they came from an Italian mansion, the bathroom looked spectacular. Great shower with loads of hot water Stove could be better though. There was a BBQ but we didn't see it in the brochure otherwise we would have brought BBQ stuff.
We will try and stay there again.

Clean close to town it was lucky we didn't stay any longer as my friend could not shower due to no rails.

A great little weekend getaway. Could easily stay longer. Great if you have a dog. Well fenced. Our dog was a little old and blind and not confident on the few steps off the deck but most would cope.
Well supplied with essential stuff.
Would recommend

My partner and I had a great time here, the house had all we needed. We had our boat and there was enough space to park it which was a bonus for us. Short walk into town. We’re looking forward to coming back another time.

We have stayed here a few times. Close to everything, walk to the beach or any of the dining / bars. Everything you need in the house. We will be back again.
5.0 / 5.0
We have stayed here many times, and each time just gets better! The property is always well maintained and clean, and the owners are always making little improvements that we notice each year we visit. The property location is perfect, close enough to everything you could want at Rainbow Beach & backing onto the bush, rather than surrounded by neighbours on all sides makes it just that little bit better again. Pet friendly too is a major draw card for us! If you're looking for a great place to stay at Rainbow Beach, you can't do better than this! 😊

Comfortable, pet friendly accommodation in a great location
Luan's duplex was clean, comfortable and very well set up with everything we could have needed The location was so peaceful with a lovely bush outlook and yet only a short walk to shops and the beach. The securely fenced backyard was fabulous for our dog and it was nice to be able to have her inside with us too. Thank-you Luan for a great stay!
