Upon departure you just need to drop the keys back into the box.

The neighbourhood

Coochiemudlo really is one of Brisbane's best secrets. A little hideaway only 35kms south east of Brisbane city and only 10 minutes by passenger ferry or 20 minutes by car barge to this little island paradise.
Relax, unwind and forget about the hustle and bustle of daily life and slip into Coochie's relaxed island time. There is so much to do......or not do.
Water sports, bike riding, bushwalking, artist retreats, family time to remember forever.......and keep coming back..... or time out to read a great book or watch the sunset over a glass and a BBQ.

You will love the atmosphere here, people walking all over the island, BBQ's and picnics at the beach and people chatting on the barges and ferries. Santa arrives on the BBQ cruiser every year with ALL the islanders partying and having beach picnics on main beach at sunset. It's a unique place that will create memories and keep you coming back for more.

Getting around

Coochiemudlo Island is only 35 kms south east of Brisbane city. It's a short 10 minute ride on the passenger ferry and a 5 minute walk to Driftwood Beach Holiday House. Most people get around the island by walking or hiring a bike.
Ferries run from 5am to 11:30pm every half an hour all week. 6:15am -11pm on weekends. There are multiple trips a day via the car barge (Amity Trader), just be sure to book in advance. Guests can take the car barge over to the island and use their car on the island for their stay or if you travel light you can leave your car on the mainland and travel over via the passenger ferry (Note: most locals use luggage or trolleys on wheels!!).
There are buses to the City, Carindale Shopping Centre and the local Victoria Point Shopping Centre, right from the ferry terminal.
If you want to be spoilt and be like a local you can have a car on both sides:)

Other things to note

Come fully equipped with all your food and drinks. There is no shopping centre on the island or fuel. We have a corner store/kiosk that sells a small amount of emergency supplies and takeaway food or Red Rock Cafe for eating out.
Lastly should the need arise, in the case of an medical emergency the island has volunteer, fully trained first responders and an ambulance, just dial 000.

Lovely quiet retreat
Lovely quiet property away from the main jetty area, but still only a short 10min walk when needed. Very clean, tidy and a well equipped kitchen was appreciated.

Lovely girls long weekend
2 night getaway with girlfriends. Property was clean, tidy and comfortable. Hosts were very attentive and helpful when, for some strange reason, an important email was not received (not host’s fault). Would definitely return should the opportunity arise.

About the host

Hosted by Richard and Lise

Host profile image
My wife Lise and I love to travel. We try to spend as much of our time exploring our amazing country and love nothing better than to hike with our kids into special places and swim. Some of our favourite destinations are Coochiemudlo Island, Karijini National Park, swimming with the whale sharks in Ningaloo, touring Iceland and El Questro Cattle Station in The Kimberley.

Why they chose this property

Coochiemudlo is one of Brisbane's best kept secrets!! We meet so many people who have either never heard of the place....... or the total opposite and have spent many fun times there on holiday when they were growing up.
Most fall in love with the undiscovered and un-touristy vibe.... Driftwood Beach Holiday House is great for young families who want to just get away from it all for a break.

What makes this property unique

Become a local and not a "Mainlander" while you escape for some serious time out and time away!
Great for young families
Only 7-10 minute trip on the ferry and you are in another world
Easy walk to the three main beaches
Curlew, dugong and dolphin spotting!
Beaches, tennis, bike track, BBQ's at the beach and BBQ Cruisers, Cafe's, fishing, golf and boat hire.....
