Family Home - Pets welcome . 15km to Australia Zoo, 20km to amazing beaches.

Beautiful, historic 3 BR Queenslander in the heart of Mooloolah Valley Sunshine Coast, only a short drive to the iconic Australia Zoo and the pristine beaches of the Sunny Coast. Mooloolah is a quiet township with a gorgeous village centre complete with IGA, bakery, cafe, Thai and more. Surrounded by beautiful national parks to explore and the refreshing Ewen Maddock Dam to swim in.

The house is very comfortable, plenty of board games, books and puzzles to keep the kids entertained. You’ll love the convenience of being extremely close to the local shops, playgrounds and skate park. No need to drive into town.
The property has a big, fully fenced backyard and fully fenced front yard, the house is very private.
The huge rear deck has a beautiful views towards Maleny, relax on the outside furniture or have dinner on the 8 seater table watching the sunset. The gorgeous deck is loved by all our guests.

Linen, bedding and towels are provided. New air conditioner installed 23/1/24, new oven installed 12/7/2023.
Wi-fi available.

Off to the Zoo
Natalie’s home is comfy and welcoming . We enjoyed the very homely feel and settled in easily. Natalie’s communication with us throughout the booking process was exceptional. We enjoyed a visit to Australia Zoo and visiting the beaches and Eumundi markets . We travelled with teenage kids , who enjoyed the myriad of games in the house! We found Natalie’s home a very economical option for us with a well set up kitchen and local shops for grocery etc very convenient. I’m sure we’ll be back Thanks Nat 🤗 We

Cute house
Nat was a gem. She was super friendly and checked in often without being overbearing. The house was cute and cozy. The location is fantastic, being within walking distance to the IGA and the bakery. The local bakery is definitely worth the trip. Their coffee is great, and all their bakery items were delicious.

A beautiful, old, cosy home to rest and relax
My family and I needed a mid-term break to rest a little and this place was perfect for that. It's so homely and in a great little spot right near the Main Street and only a short drive to the swimming spot at the dam. Perfect!

Lovely old Queenslander home, perfect for a family
We only had 2 nights and the first was very heavy rain, but when the sun came out we drove to Caloundra and enjoyed the easy access to the beach. Great experience.

Friendly family home
The house was well-appointed and friendly, even if a little quirky. The back verandah was a lovely place to chill out and look over the view. The host was lovely - when our gas bottle ran out she was there within minutes with a new one. Shops only a short stroll away. Very convenient. Only 25 min to beaches and less to Australia Zoo.

Easy family holiday
With IGA so close, and the house well equipped, it was easy to relax, knowing that our needs could be well met. We used the local Chinese and pizza places, and the nearby hospital at Caloundra had a good outpatient service. Nice and quiet for sleeping, spaces for family to be together or chill out apart, this property ticks many boxes for parents organising children of all ages.

Nice and relaxing
The property provided our family of 6 with a quiet, cozy and well appointed house to enjoy. The house itself has a spacious yard and deck, with a covered downstairs area for children to play. The location is very close to shops and in a quiet little street. We were very pleased with the property and the helpful, friendly communication with the property manager.

Australia zoo holiday
Nat's place was great and so close to Australia Zoo for our 2 days there. It felt homely with a firepit out the back, a nice big verandah for chillaxing and games and books, trampoline, bikes and balls for the kids 8 and 10. Nat always communicated well and went out of her way to make sure we were happy with everything during our stay, and was very hospitable even leaving a few extra treats for us. Good location in town too with IGA, Bottle-o, Indian takeaway, Bakery and more just a short walk. Thanks again Nat for a memorable family break

Location Location Location
Nothing had been overlooked - the bedding was comfortable; there was numerous places to sit to unwind; and the games, toys and sporting equipment met the approval of twin 9 year olds. The house was situated well with both the hinterland attractions and the coast a short drive away. The fur kid loved the large backyard and rubbing noses with the friendly dog next door.

Mooloolah Getaway
This home has a warm welcoming feeling of days gone by. The host presented it well with little thoughtful touches everywhere. The verandah out back was a real winner for our family. The yard was very private and the views to the hills behind made it very peaceful. The location of the house, being so close to the well stocked supermarket, bottle shop, bakery, cafe and transport was excellent. Thanks for the lovely stay Nat.
