Charming QLD-style cottage, in Dunwich the Perfect base to explore Nth Straddie

Castaways a charming 2-bedroom house, walking distance to everything in Dunwich. There is a queen size bed in bed 1, double in bed 2 and a fold out futon in the multi-purpose room. We can comfortable sleep 6. Enjoy a BBQ on the Deck or a short stroll into town to visit the local restaurants and Brewery. We are pet friendly with a fully fenced yard. The cottage backs onto Straddie Super Sports a store that stocks just about everything, just incase you forget to bring something it’s so handy. If you are into fishing there is also a good range of bait and tackle in store.
Dunwich is ideally located near both vehicle and passenger ferry terminals and is the perfect base camp for your family holidays. A great base to explore the islands wonderful attractions and activities. Wake up in Dunwich, stroll down for a swim in the calm bayside beach or take a short drive to the stunning brown lake, blue lake, golf course, museum, walk to the Little Ship Club, Straddie Brewing, Sharks Football Club with excellent Thai Restaurant, Cafe near by grab breakfast and coffee.

The cottage was very beautiful and cozy. Location wise: very close to the Ferry terminal, Food works, brewery and Museum etc. The kitchen was beautiful. Linda is an amazing host. Very friendly and helpful. She even gave us a late check out, which worked really well for us. Would love to go back one day!

Clean, Comfortable & Convenient

We had a fantastic stay! Communication with Neil was excellent from the start—super responsive and helpful. The house itself was spotless—immaculately clean, tidy, and incredibly well-equipped, which made our stay so relaxing and enjoyable. Honestly, the photos don’t do it justice—it’s even better in real life. Added bonus: it’s within easy walking distance to the Dunwich shops. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
