Very comfortable and convenient. Great position, very nice cafe 50m away. Good dishwasher and washing machine, comfy bed. Love to stay here again.

Admittedly I was a bit worried by the review that came a few days before we arrived, but the place was great and clean. Harry was also really helpful with my questions on the first day, but after that it was smooth sailing and well worth the price we paid. It was as the pictures show. Kitchen, fridge, utensils/cooking gear, and stove all worked great and were clean. Only used the bed upstairs which was comfortable. Couches just needed a cushion under you when sitting on them because they are a little worn internally, but we really didn’t spend much time on the couch when we had the island to explore and enjoy. Not sure what else to add other than to repeat that we were very happy with our stay and didn’t have any complaints. Maybe a note is to keep the bathroom door closed always so flies can’t get into the house.

The property shower had mold and the water ran down the curtain all over the bathroom floor. The tea towels were dirty, the washer left in the bathroom was threadbare and full of holes. The fan was filthy and we didn't use the blinds as they were also filthy and obviously hadn't been used for a long time. The t.v only had foxtel and was faulty . The lighting in the apartment was very dim. The two lounges are well past their use by date with little to no padding and harsh to sit on . We needed to use the pull out lounge/beds to sleep on as a back injury prevented using the stairs to get to the bed. The spare mattresses were so thin that it made little to no difference to feeling every bar in the lounge frame. This unit was not suitable as a comfortable place to stay, particularly being older. Not value for money.

It was very pleasant. we liked the bush around the shack and the short walk through paperbark and vine forest to the beach is lovely. we walked to the pub for dinner and back in the dark. You can hear the sea at night when you sink into the comfortable bed. Only down thing is getting down the stairs to the toilet in the middle of the night! And there is a line down the centre of the TV. Small things.

Had a wonderful stay. The property was perfect for us and the whole process was so easy

We liked the architectural design and location of the beach hut, but had some difficulty each time with the front door lock. We don't do Foxtel so did not use the tv. Overall, enjoyed our brief stay.

The place was very tidy and functional. All the amenities were available. Will be back again

We were really pleasantly surprised at our stay here, was a lot nicer than we expected and so well equipped. Cabin has everything and impeccably clean. Resort is lovely.

Perfect location, close to everything. Great amenities. The shack has everything you need and more. Very relaxed vibe.

On arrival we found the front door lock broken and the apartment not cleaned from the last guests. Although inconvenient, a call to the owner quickly resolved these problems. We liked the location and would stay again.

We've stayed here twice, love the location and the shack has everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable

Very cozy and clean little shack, situated amongst nature and walking distance to the beach.

We had such a great time at #18. Well appointed kitchen, comfy bed, great to have a washing machine, and a lovely private deck. Thanks Harry for making your place available.

Very helpful staff, clean and tidy, amazing stay

Nice place just needs a little bit of TLC

The shack and its appointments were as described by owner and adequate. Conveniently situated with a park across the road and a short walk to Home Beach. The cafe/bar serves excellent food with the proprietors being very friendly and helpful. Our only complait would be the gym equipment most of which needs maintenance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay in this lovely beach shack, the beach is across the road, koalas at our back deck, cafes and shops close by. Would highly recommend staying here.

Great little beach shack. Was very clean and comfy. Only issue was we were not able to purchase wifi as the booking noted.

Easy

Not very clean - Dust everywhere, hair everywhere, sand everywhere. Limited supply of condiments - had to purchase own toilet paper, washing powderLack of privacy - No curtains or cover on sliding door, allowing people walking past to see every inch of the property.Unfinished renovations - Walls were covered up with tape, couch covers unfinished wall. No access to wifi Overall, given our location and easy access to everything; the trip was not horrible. However, when you’re travelling with someone who is allergic to dust, it ruins the trip. It doesn’t look like the owner makes an effort to clean up.

Great location, all the amenities you could need. Lovely space and very comfortable. We've booked again for next year

The beach shack is a good size, and has all the things you need. It's looking a little weary in places, as is the Resort Cafe. But the pool is brilliant and the general location great.

We had a great stay in Harry’s beach shack. It was generally clean and tidy and all essential were provided. The property was very small but manageable for three and we didn’t spend much time there so it was fine. The queen bed was very comfortable and I had great sleep listening to the sound of the ocean. The only concern was the amount of built up dust throughout and mouldy spare mattresses. Needless to say we didn’t use them and our third person slept on the sofa bed. The sofas were also very uncomfortable so lucky we spent most of our time on the beach. Even with those minor issues we had a a great stay. The place was in a great location and comfortable enough for a short stay. On a side note, the a/c is in desperate need of a clean. It appeared extremely mouldy but this didn’t impact us as we didn’t need it. The shack did get quite hot during the day so a/c would definitely be necessary during warmer weather.

Very cute shack in a handy location!

Perfect place to stay and would stay again! Thank you!

I think the fan looks quite rusted and can be a hazard as I’ve scene one before that the blades come off while on that was that rusted The fridge takes a long time to cool your things also no compartments on the door you were limited to cool things as milk and juice No soap in the bathroom meant I had to go out late to get some for the price I expected at least a bar of soap.

Allure is tranquil, serene and just what you need on Stradbroke Island. An affordable little Shak with all the amenities, and loads of personality. Plus the owner is so easy to deal with & prompt with communication. Super easy to book and stay. No doubt we will return!

We had a lovely time, Straddie is very laid back (don't expect meals to arrive quick when ordering out) The cabin had everything we needed, some light globes needed changing, hands soaps re-filled and some instructions for the TV/ DVD player could of helped as it was rainy weather we had quiet a bit of chill out time and couldn't work out the sound for the DVD. The resort itself was nice and quiet you truly feel like you have your own little oasis the way the cabin decks are set up into the bushy areas. The bed & pillows are so comfy which was perfect for me being heavily pregnant, I slept the best I have in months. The pool area is lovely, plenty of seating to chill out on, the beach is so close and so beautiful. Being able to lock the key in the box each time was so convenient as we could both come and go as we please and we didn't risk losing them while out & about. Thanks Harry we will recommend your place to family & friends

We stayed here for a week with our 1 year old twins. Enough room upstairs for two portacots which is fantastic, terrace has a fence all the way around which is also amazing as the kids could go out without us having to worry & all kitchen equipment was already supplied. House does need a good clean in the hard to reach places like under the couch, above shower, etc We loved our stay & would definitely go back in a heartbeat.

Great value for money, and very clean and tidy.
