Company information

My love of travel has inspired me to create amazing places for travellers to enjoy. I have been hosting STR guests since 2012. As a traveller myself, for both business and leisure, I understand what travellers need & have aimed to create a stress-free and memorable guest experience! I may not always be available to greet you but you can rest assured that creating the best possible experience for you is what I aim to do. Come and stay at our trendy sometimes quirky places.... from the heat of the tropical north at the Dolphin Heads Resort to the fresh mountain air of the Blue Mountains in and the Unique 1920's historic retreat in the Blue Mountains in NSW! If you are visiting Brisbane you can choose from Rooms at Annerley (Brisbane City Fringe) or Woody Point on the Redcliffe Peninsula! I hope that you enjoy your time away at these properties as much as I have enjoyed creating them!

Property information

Amazing Beachfront Studio Apartment-Self Managed. I own this Unit and I also manage it. There is currently no resort manager only individual owners or property managers that manage the units at the resort so please direct all questions or inquiries directly to myself or Jay.... thank you! With it's north facing beach you can enjoy both the sunset and sunrise from your balcony! Everything that you could want for a relaxing holiday is at your fingertips! The beach, the palm trees, amazing views, fresh sea air, amazing resort pools, restaurant and self catering options! Depending on the time of year the restaurant may not be open every day so you do have a kitchenette in unit including hot plates, a microwave, pots, pans, cutlery etc... Relax the day away in the pool.... you have 3 pools to choose from! The main lagoon style pool, the Heart shaped spa pool or the 1m kids pool.... OR at the resort beach enjoying the tropical climate! This is an absolutely amazing location and only 25mins from Mackay Airport! We look forward to welcoming you!

Neighbourhood information

Dolphin Heads Resort is more of a retreat destination but only 15kms from the heart of Mackay. The Eimeo pub, only a 4 min drive from the resort is worth a visit. You can see the pub from the resort up on top of the hill. Turtles hatch on the beach in December and January. The nests are marked by a yellow stake. Dolphin Heads Resort is a destination location. The closest bus stop is 2km from the resort so best to arrive at the resort with a car or with the expectation that you will enjoy a travel free holiday once at the resort.
