House was extremely clean and everything was provided. We made use of the jetty and the ramp to launch our boat. Enjoyed the serenity and the views. Will stay again and recommend this house.

Such a peaceful location!
We spent a week boating, swimming, kayaking, crabbing and fishing at Toogoom Retreat. Such a vibrant river system. Kids especially loved jetty jumping at high tide. We kept the fire stoked and ate lunch outside under the shady trees. Just bliss. Kylere the property manager was great, she ensured we were contacted and fully informed before check in with all the information when the website went down. It was lovely to meet you Kylere. The house was spotless and lovely and cool upon arrival after a long drive. Everything you need is stocked in the kitchen, there’s plenty of towels and linen. All the amenities to keep the inside house and verandah tidy are all available. Guests should come fully stocked with mossie coils, bug spray and stop itch for the bugs that come out at dawn and dusk. And if you want to spend extended time on the jetty and in the water bring a shade gazebo to tie down. This week was one of our families best holidays yet, just so restful and peaceful, we were all sad having to go back to reality. Looking forward to visiting Toogoom Retreat again.

Family Xmas Gathering
Fantastic house for our growing family to spend time together. Heaps of space to spread out. The house was clean and spacious. There was plenty of linen. The kitchen was also stocked with all the essentials you need to cook for a large crowd. We utilised the fire pit to toast marshmallow’s and a few lines were wet with fishing. Our overseas visitors loved the birdlife, the occasional goanna and the feel of the Australian bush. Our Xmas was everything we hoped for. Would highly recommend this space for any growing family.

Fantastic break away
We were so impressed with the cleanliness and how well appointed this house was. Such a beautiful location and a comfortable place for us, a group of 6 plus our dog. Whether we were outside enjoying nature the picturesque large trees, the wonderful waterways and a little nightime fire, or inside cooking together and playing games or watching movies, we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We did not want to leave! Highly recommend for a stress free getaway.

Retreat short stay
House was great everything you could need but there was quite a bit of dog hair on couch and mat in the lounge room which wasn’t good for our 9 month old crawling around on floor, we were under the impression we would be able to use our boat at any time of day but we couldn’t as there isn’t much water most of the tide, we think it is more of a retreat for people that don’t really use their boat as to a family holiday fishing and crabbing, as to why we cut our holiday short by 4 nights, sorry but we were a bit disappointed

Property manager was so helpful with prompt replies. House is stunning. Mud crabs, whiting, Estuary cod, and Trevally were caught. Will definitely be back. Only suggestion I have would be lighting on the Jetty for night fishing.

Arrived at Toogoom, took a wrong turn but eventually found the driveway entrance. Pulled up to find a beautiful cottage on the water. House inside was emaculate, everything we needed was there. Kitchen is spacious and perfect for cooking a large feast for a family. Fantastic position, right on the water, the balcony was great to relax on in the afternoon and kept my dog Max safe and happy during the day. Flaws: - Quite a few sandflies early morning and late afternoon. - Private boat ramp is great but only useable at high tide, as creek is extremely shallow. Overall we had a great time. 4/5.

This was our second visit to this slice of paradise. It has everything for the fishing and pet lover. The new owners have fixed up the place fantastically. Fishing with bait a quick paddle away. A private jetty and large yard. We have only just left and we are already planning dates to return.

Hidden Treasure
Absolutely loved the home and locale...property manager Kleyre had prompt response time on a Sunday - gold stars!! Should you decide to stay - a quick trip to BCF is a must, mud crabs brilliant sizes (they love Mullet) and flatheads good eating - kids also caught bream from the jetty and released them. (be sure to look at QLD Dept of Fisheries to ensure you are doing the right thing & maintaining a sustainable environment for our marine life - in this instance size does matter ;D ) Listening to the frogs and crickets at night from the pond out front were like a lullaby that put us all straight to sleep and the driveway is beautiful for anytime of day strolls. Highly recommend!!
