Located on a quiet street, not far from the steps that take you down to Toowoon Bay Beach. Loved the accommodation, which was very clean with a beautiful garden. We will definitely stay here again.

Marg and bill have thought of everything at Pandanus! We had a lovely short stay there, wish we could have stayed longer. King size bed was super comfortable, lovely deck to while away the day and just footsteps to the beach. The home was spotless and Marg was a wonderful host. We had everything we needed for a short stay and used the bbq on one of the nights for our dinner. We will definitely be back for a longer stay!

Beautiful, private escape. A place you need to visit.
Wonderfully located, totally separate and private. Marg introduced herself on arrival and then we were blessed with a stunning 2 bedroom home. The most comfortable King Bed, a king single for the teenager and well decorated interior through out, stunning gardens and completely private and big enough for the 3 of us. So much detail was put into this place with beautiful Australian floral arrangements, board games, relaxing outside area with a wonderful garden and so clean and tidy with lots of extra love and detail present in every space inside. There was air-conditioning and fans in each bedroom. Plenty of cooking equipment and utensils, a smart TV, hair dryer and linen and towels provided. A 1 min walk to Toowoon Bay and fantastic coffee just a 5 min walk away. It was everything we could of hoped for and more. Thank you for allowing us to spend some time in paradise. This place gave us a well earned escape and rest. We feel totally refreshed and ready to go tackle 2020.

Delightful Location
Absolutely stunning accomodation surrounded by a garden that’s a delight to behold. The kitchen is spacious & has all a chef requires. We have slept-in more than usual as the king-sized bed is..well...fit for a king (& queen) and the fly-screened windows allow the full effect of the ocean tides to lull us to sleep. The thing we most like however is the 2-3 minute walk down to the beach which is simply gorgeous and has all the conveniences of a city beach without the crowds. Thanks Marg & Bill for providing such an idyllic home and also for respecting our privacy. Since we have 4 thumbs between us then we’ll give the place 4 thumbs up. 😎👍👍👍👍
