We recently had our honeymoon here and it was absolutely amazing! The location is second to none. We were able to sit by the water and watch the dolphins, turtles and even a wobbygong as well as the local koalas Jane was so friendly and helpful and really made our stay amazing! Stradbroke island itself is also 100% worth visiting it is breathtaking! We will be back for sure!

Beautiful and convenient location. Highly recommend the Sea Shanties, cabins were clean and well appointed. We saw the koalas and dolphins daily and sea eagles flying above. Communal kitchen available or cook inside your cabin. Very relaxing location with great views of Moreton Island and Brisbane city in the distance. Recommend snorkeling at netted area near pier - there's some great fish hanging around the posts and nets and it's safer ( 5-10 min walk from cabins). Plenty to do on Straddie too - walks, beaches, drives to name a few. You won't regret it!

What beautiful little cabins at the quiet side of Stradbroke. The view is stunning and perfect little spot for fishing and just watching the sun set over the horizon. We were really pleased our puppy could be accommodated. The rooms are well fitted out and bright and airy. There is a "camp Kitchen" with BBQ facilities as well as extra fridge space. Little beach nearby suitable for walking and fishing. Thanks Jane for our lovely mini break we have booked again :)

This place is a true treasure! It's peaceful, clean and cosy. The dolphins swim right up to the private jetty and you are companied by koalas. Great snorkeling right in front of the cottages. The staff is lovely and helpful! There's a great seafood shop down the street and you can watch the most amazing sunsets over the ocean from the garden.
