Luxurious pet friendly Cottage at River Heads, the gateway to Fraser Island

Crab Cooker Cottage - River Heads
**Crab Cooker Cottage is located at River Heads approx 15 mins out of Hervey Bay**

If ever a holiday home deserved the title `Gateway to Fraser Island' the extensively renovated Crab Cooker Cottage is it.
The cottage offers 3 large bedrooms all with king beds and ensuites, spacious living areas downstairs, several aircon units and an outlook comprising only shades of green and blue.
Passing traffic is minimal and mature shady trees occupy the front of the property.
The Fraser Island Boat ramp and barge lie about 800 metres away and the local shops 400 metres.
Hervey Bay airport and the town itself are 12-20 minutes by car depending which part of town is your destination.
There is plenty of room for your boat or RV to park off road and though your pet is welcome the property is not fenced.

Holiday with my wife and our Friends visiting Fraser Island and Harvey Bay
Excellent accommodation for family and friends together with all you need for a home away from home. Cosy beds and all amenities good quality and clean. Bring along your boat to go fishing or simply hop on the ferry a few minutes drive to the River Head barge and enjoy a 4WD day through Fraser Islands rain forest and endless sandy beaches.

Wonderful Stay
Very clean, well equipped house, comfortable for teens, grandad, our dog & us as parents. Wonderful water views & sunsets. Great walking trail from house to the boat ramp at the back of the property. Secluded & tranquil, yet close enough to all the Harvey Bay activities and Marina. Lots of birdlife to observe.

Frazer Island adventure
Freddie was very professional with his knowledge, skills and experience. The house was beautifully staged, very welcoming on arrival and views spectacular. Trip to Frazer Island was the highlight of our stay. A must see for all tourists when visiting to our wonderful country. The highlight on the island was watching a wild dingo from a safe distance. We will be back.

Comfortable and spacious with all that you need
We really enjoyed our stay in this house. It is beautifully decorated and has all the bits and pieces you may need during your stay. The home is very comfortable and spacious. There was a bit of pet hair around and dust in places that hadn’t been wiped down properly before our arrival but all kitchen items and linen were clean - very minor issue. Fred, the property manager was lovely, polite and punctual. The only other concern we had was that we were intending to bring our dog, decided against it last minute as we had booked tours and when we arrived we saw that there were no fences at all for her to be outside and the information book states pets are not to be on any furniture. This would have been difficult for us to manage if we’d have had her stay with us while out and about without her. We would definitely be happy to stay here again though and would bring friends to enjoy it with us.
