About this property
The Shack near Maroochy River - Pet Friendly, WIFI, Linen provided
This cute cottage has all you could possibly want for a holiday house. Fully self contained with 3 bedrooms(2 queen size beds and a bunk with a double on the bottom and a single on the top). Bath towels and bed linen included. We have 1 full bathroom plus 2 seperate toilets. This property welcomes adults and children. There is a spacious back deck for afternoon drinks. The high set cottage has air conditioning but you'll rarely need it with the flow through sea breeze it gets most days. The pet friendly cottage is fully fenced so bring the dog.(Pets are only allowed inside the house if they are house trained.) We allow a maximum of 2 pets.
Pets are not allowed on the beds or any other furniture and not to be left at home alone for long periods of time.
There is undercover lock up parking and plenty of parking on the property.
The Shack is in a residential area. Parties and large gatherings are not allowed.
Students are not allowed to stay during the Schoolies weeks.
We do not allow trailers or caravans to be parked on the property, including the driveway inside the property.
You are welcome to bring your boat however, sometimes it can be difficult entering the property whilst towing a boat if there are cars parked on the street.
Things to do
There are some bicycles provided so you can ride to the beach, along the river, to the shops, or just to explore the area. You will need to bring a bike pump for these. If you like shopping Sunshine Plaza(the biggest shopping centre on the coast.) is a 10 min walk away. For night life Ocean St is 15 min walk. It has great restaurants and bars you can dance the night away in. The usual attractions Australia Zoo, Underwater world and Aussie world are a short drive away. There are great beaches from Maroochydore south all the way to Caloundra. Or North from Maroochydore all the way to Noosa. Take a picnic lunch and explore the beaches, climb Mt Coolum or head to the hinterland and visit the villages of Montville, Maleny and Mapleton. There are many waterfalls in the hinterland so take your bathing suits. There is so much to do in and around the Sunshine Coast within 50km of Maroochydore. This is just a small introduction. Now it's up to you to make a booking and spend some time here to explore this beautiful part of Australia. *Pets not to be left at home for long periods of time

House was in the perfect position, once we arrived we did not move the car until we left. Shops, bars and dining and beaches all win in walking distance. Had everything we needed for our getaway!
It was a great house, smallish living room but great couch, it fit us 4 adults. The backyard and decks were fantastic. Very spacious. Beds very comfortable. Loved my walk every morning down to the river. Highly recommend this accommodation.
Good location excellent for fur babies very clean nice outdoor deck area. Would benefit from a more powerful air con unit and purchase a larger flat screen TV. Many thanks.
The Shack was well maintained, very clean with everything we needed. An easy walk or short drive to Picnic Point on Maroochy River, Cotton Tree and nearby Maroochydore patrolled surf beach.
The Shack was great, comfortable and clean, close to everything and well equiped. The hosts were awesome to communicate with and we very much enjoyed our stay!
Great property beautiful location perfect for a family holiday

I liked so much the cleanliness, great location, everything we need in the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms we can find easily around including the use of washing machine. It was a beautiful place to enjoy our stay and I would recommend other visitors to stay here. Thank you so much for giving our memorable experience stay.
Great location, great price and suited our group well. Lovely deck out the back, comfortable beds.
House is a little old but that is part of its charm.
Would stay again.
My wife and I stayed for 4 nights and had visits from our two Daughters and their families. The dogs loved the yard and swimming and boating and picnicking is within walking distance to Picnic Point. Good stay at a good price.
Wonderful property to stay at.
Check in instructions were easy, everything was really clean, lots of little extra's to make your stay comfortable (especially grateful for the mosquito coils!).
Older style house, roomy and airy. Has everything you need. Will definitely stay again.
Great location, very tidy property with lovely yard for the furbabies. Property was very clean and had lots of little extra touches that were nice. Loved the big deck, perfect to warm up in the morning sun and relax with family.
We enjoyed our stay at The Shack. The inside space was smaller than I thought it would be from the photos but we all loved the back deck and enjoyed eating our meals out there. Good range of kitchen supplies but not enough bowls for the number of guests. Easy and efficient communication with the host and check in was super easy.
We enjoyed our stay, in particular my Golden Retriever who loved daily walks to the beach, large rear deck and big yard with green grass. Highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay. We found the house big enough for 4 adults and 3 children aged 3,4 and 4. The kids loved the back yard and the adults enjoyed the big deck. We found it very affordable and look forward to returning one day.

We recently stayed here for a couple of days while attending a family reunion. We were so impressed with how clean & tidy the house was. Our 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed playing & napping in the enclosed yard. The deck had a beautiful breeze which was lovely on the hot evenings. The location is fantastic, really close to everything. Our kids are keen to come & stay here again soon!
Property was perfect for us.Play equiptment and bikes were a great hit with my grandchildren.
Back deck was a pleasant retreat in the evening.
Beds very comfy.
Short walk to riverside and easy walk to bus stops for a trip to Sunshine Plaza.
Nice and close to shops.
Very dog friendly.
We enjoyed ourselves.
Back deck is great to sit and relax hopefully soon the building behind will be finished and it will be nice and quiet again. This is no way the owners fault at all. Over all enjoyed our stay.
