Scarness Cottage Serene Queenslander by the Sea

Just a short walk from the lively Esplanade and the soft sands of Torquay Beach, this retreat blends tranquillity with urban comfort. Inside, natural light fills the living area, while a full kitchen makes cooking effortless. A home office provides a quiet nook for remote days. Step onto the timber deck for a relaxed BBQ, or unwind in the lush backyard for calm moments. With the Botanic Gardens, Urangan Pier, and the airport just a short drive away, all of Hervey Bay’s highlights are close by.
Nestled behind a white picket fence and surrounded by swaying palms and native trees, this single-level retreat offers a timeless coastal atmosphere. A winding garden path leads to the front porch—perfect for a quiet morning cuppa. Inside, the light-filled living area welcomes you with earthy tones, calming artwork, and two grey sofas. Whether you're curling up with a book or unwinding with a film on the wall-mounted TV, this area is made for slow moments.

Prepare meals with ease in the rustic kitchen, equipped with a fridge, oven, electric stove, and microwave. Enjoy casual bites at the timber breakfast bar or gather around the dining table, which comfortably seats six for shared meals. When the afternoon calls for a little fresh air, step out onto the breezy deck, where a timber dining setting and BBQ await for relaxed alfresco dining. Just beyond, the generous backyard unfolds a private sanctuary of green lawn, tropical foliage, and a swing beneath the trees, offering space for everyone to unwind under the endless blue skies.

As night falls, retreat to one of three peaceful bedrooms, each furnished with clothing storage and ceiling fans for a restful sleep. The primary and second bedrooms features a queen bed, and the third includes a bunk with a double base and single top—ideal for kids or friends. The bathroom invites unhurried routines, with a deep soaking tub and walk-in shower, while a separate toilet adds extra convenience. The full laundry is tucked away but easily accessible, with a washer, drying rack, and generous bench space to make longer stays feel effortless.

Stay productive in the home office with a quiet desk nook and ergonomic chair by the sunlit window, or settle into the armchair for a peaceful read. Stay cool with split-system air conditioning in the living area and ceiling fans throughout. Off-street parking for up to three vehicles is available in the driveway and carport, making arrivals and departures stress-free.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
