About this property
One bedroom cottage - Ideal couples retreat
Escape to paradise and indulge in the ultimate couples retreat at Blue Waters. Nestled atop Lucinda Crescent (Lighthouse Hill), this original Straddie cottage offers breathtaking 180-degree views of the Point and the sparkling ocean beyond. Prepare to be captivated by the natural beauty that surrounds you.
This charming one-bedroom home is perched high on the hill, offering a serene and private haven for your holiday getaway. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a light and bright space, flooded with natural light streaming in through the windows that envelop the cottage. The open and airy ambiance invites you to unwind and embrace the tranquility of your surroundings.
The highlight of Blue Waters is undoubtedly the expansive deck, where you can soak up the sun, enjoy a morning coffee, or simply sit back and witness the awe-inspiring sight of whales gracefully passing by. Let the soothing sounds of the ocean lull you into a state of relaxation as you immerse yourself in the coastal atmosphere.
Whether you choose to lounge outside or retreat indoors with a good book, Blue Waters promises a serene and comfortable environment for your stay. The cottage has WIFI, a fully equipped kitchen, allowing you to prepare delicious meals. In the evenings, snuggle up in the cozy living area and bask in the soft glow of the setting sun as it paints the sky in stunning hues.
While the cottage provides a tranquil oasis, we highly recommend having a car to access the property and then fully explore and enjoy all that Point Lookout has to offer. With your own transportation, you can effortlessly venture to pristine beaches, explore picturesque hiking trails, discover charming local cafes and restaurants, and embrace the laid-back island lifestyle that North Stradbroke Island is renowned for.

We had spectacular views - the clouds, the night skies, the vegetation and the beach. And, we loved the sound of the surf and the beautiful breezes. The building is very simple but clean and comfortable. It was reminiscent of childhood holidays so we felt very nostalgic.
Lovely little ‘one room’ bungalow with bed, kitchen, dining, lounge areas in each of the corners. Bathroom and toilet in the entry, just outside the front door. Huge deck with sweeping views of the ocean, set up high enough offering privacy from onlookers. Quirky furniture that might remind you of your nans house in the 70’s… but also that you’d pay a mint for in Newtown!Note: the welcome email mentioned gas for barbeque, we only saw an old brick and wood number out the front. Apart from that a great little getaway for two, close walk to cafes, coffee, fresh prawn roll and the boardwalk.

Reviewer Comments:
I had a blissful week staying at Blue Waters during the first week of winter. The sunrises were spectacular and I could see the whales breaching off Main Beach! The cottage is a traditional shabby-chic one room beach shack that has been updated. It has expansive views and is a short walking distance to the Gorge Walk, Main Beach, Cylinder Beach and shops. I brought some kitchen equipment with me but I found the supplied equipment was adequate.

I know I’m a wuss - but if air con is important to you then you need to look elsewhere.
On the plus side you will be awake for the stunning sunrise as you won’t be able to get any sleep.
Pros
Location and views
Secluded ( ish)
Quiet
Comfy bed and good linen
Wifi
Close to main beach and Gorge walk
Clean - other than some crockery that will never be white again
Cons
Near vertical approach road ( this actually was a nice walk if you are up to it.
No TV ( again - what a wuss)
Area around property not suitable for anyone with mobility issues
Fan noisy.
If you’re looking for a quiet secluded spot with great views, conveniently located and you REALLY like it hot and sweaty - then come fill your boots.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a blissful, peaceful place with great views and easy access (for those who can walk steep hills) to main beach, the Gorge Walk and Frenchmans beach, as well as the delightful Prawn Shack and Stradbroke Produce outlet on Mintee Street. The simplicity of this place is what attracts us. The kitchen service could do with a bit of a stocktake and update to ensure there are enough of everything, especially serving dishes. The open storage of kitchenware by the floor tends to get a bit grubby with dust etc, so we had to wash before we could use. The morning sun makes the deck very hot, and the place could be improved with a seating arrangement in the morning shade on the front.

Charming, authentic, full of history; with incredible views and coziness. All in this property is about feeling happy and care-free. Perfect for a little "me time" or a romantic getaway. One suggestion; the kitchen would benefit from a few more food preparation and serving tools.

The view was great! It was a compact but well laid out house. Kitchen provisions were quite adequate except for a lack of small plates. Access could be tricky for people with mobility issues as it is a bit hilly and uneven. It was a nice relaxing holiday and we would come back.
The cottage , the views , the quietness were all sensational.The cleaners didn’t do their job properly with the floors filthy and needing a mop. You had to wear footwear to keep your feet clean. Glasses left with lipstick on them and cutlery dirty . Let the experience down a little
