Wonderfull stay, quiet location, perfect for my family and friends to get together. Plenty of space for the kids and the fishing and crabbing was busy enough for them to be interested all the time. Best stay I've had anywhere . 6 Stars.

We have stayed at Toogoom Retreat a number of times and always a very enjoyable stay,we will be back again in the near future.
A great spot if you’re looking for fishing crabbing boating wildlife. Just an all-round. Amazing spot. Also a very helpful and professional property manager. We very much look forward to coming back here.
House was extremely clean and everything was provided. We made use of the jetty and the ramp to launch our boat. Enjoyed the serenity and the views. Will stay again and recommend this house. Our booking agent Klayre was extremely helpful whenever we had questions and always replied promptly even after normal working hours.

Quiet Hidden piece of paradise. House was everything we needed. Fishing was good. The whole Family had the best timeOnly downside is the Neighbour enjoys his peace too so is quick to complain if there is any noises.
Some time away with the family. Very peaceful. Would also be a great house for a celebration. Great dog fencing for the fur babies. Will come back to stay again. The house has all
The supplies you need.
We were so impressed with the cleanliness and how well appointed this house was.
Such a beautiful location and a comfortable place for us, a group of 6 plus our dog.
Whether we were outside enjoying nature the picturesque large trees, the wonderful waterways and a little nightime fire, or inside cooking together and playing games or watching movies, we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
We did not want to leave!
Highly recommend for a stress free getaway.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is very well equipped and is away from the hustle and bustle of life. We loved it. We have already booked to return next year.
Lovely and peaceful place close to amentities,alot of rain lately ,so alot of fresh water in the system, but my cousin and I had to have the talk that no fisherman ever wants to have,("I cant eat anymore mudcrabs,what about you,lets pull the crabpots out of the water""ok")read the visitors book about the best place to set your crab pots,
Thank you Kleyre,you made it easy for a couple of old tech tards,so easy to deal with and you were contactable,p.s I thought the Google music thing was an electronic photo album, lucky the Cuz's were a bit IT savy,highly recommended ,very relaxing and enjoyable
Fantastic house for our growing family to spend time together.
Heaps of space to spread out.
The house was clean and spacious.
There was plenty of linen. The kitchen was also stocked with all the essentials you need to cook for a large crowd.
We utilised the fire pit to toast marshmallow’s and a few lines were wet with fishing.
Our overseas visitors loved the birdlife, the occasional goanna and the feel of the Australian bush.
Our Xmas was everything we hoped for. Would highly recommend this space for any growing family.

The home, location and river access were all excellent. The boys caught a heap of crabs and the little boys loved flicking their rods off the jetty. We loved sitting on that big beautiful verandah for afternoon drinks. Great spot to explore Hervey Bay and we evrn travelled up to Elliot Heads and Bargara near Bundaberg for a day trip.House was very clean and Klayre was extremely responsive if we had any questions. Highly recommend, pack high powered bug spray for sand flies.
We spent a week boating, swimming, kayaking, crabbing and fishing at Toogoom Retreat. Such a vibrant river system. Kids especially loved jetty jumping at high tide. We kept the fire stoked and ate lunch outside under the shady trees. Just bliss.
Kylere the property manager was great, she ensured we were contacted and fully informed before check in with all the information when the website went down. It was lovely to meet you Kylere.
The house was spotless and lovely and cool upon arrival after a long drive. Everything you need is stocked in the kitchen, there’s plenty of towels and linen. All the amenities to keep the inside house and verandah tidy are all available.
Guests should come fully stocked with mossie coils, bug spray and stop itch for the bugs that come out at dawn and dusk. And if you want to spend extended time on the jetty and in the water bring a shade gazebo to tie down.
This week was one of our families best holidays yet, just so restful and peaceful, we were all sad having to go back to reality. Looking forward to visiting Toogoom Retreat again.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay, the location was perfect, the house spotless and contained everything advertised and needed. We successfully used both the jetty and the boat ramp. I had lived at Toogoom for many years and knew what to expect re the tides and sandflies. The only sandflies I felt were at low tide on the water edge. Klayre from Flamingo Realty was outstanding, circumstances necessitated changes in the booking three times in the weeks leading up to our holiday and Klayre was awesome and assisted us after hours and on a Sunday with prompt responses. Recommend this house to everyone and we will be back.

Tranquil seclusion within a picture perfect setting. After arriving at the property,the stress flowed away as quickly as the outgoing tide. A true haven in which both physical and emotional ailments noticeably recede.
