Curlew Shack | old school beach house with a contemporary makeover

Curlew Shack by Discover Stradbroke has had a complete renovation inside and out. The addition of a large, friendly, covered outdoor area complete with Weber BBQ, as well as a complete inside re-fit including a new bathroom, has provided a contemporary take on an old style Straddie beach shack.

The main bedroom is air-conditioned and private. The second bedroom also has A/C and doubles as a lounging area.

Just a hop, skip and a jump to Bob's shop, and a 5-minute walk to Cylinder and Deadman's beaches, Curlew is in a great, central location.

Perfect for a weekend away with a young family or a couple with a small dog. The shack has neither wi-fi or TV, so if it's an "unplugged" break you're after, Curlew Shack is the place.

Nestled at the bottom of a sloping block, the shack is shaded by several old gums trees and, as the name suggests, a resident group of Curlews provide constant companionship.

*Please note, there is street parking only between September 2025 - December 2025. The driveway in not accessible.
Make yourself comfortable in your air-conditioned vacation home, which features a microwave. The bathroom has a shower.
This smoke-free vacation home features surfing/body boarding nearby.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access.

Definitely Unplugged

We love Stradbroke island and had a great time while we were here. A longer stay revealed that it’s fine to not have internet, a tv, a DVD player or phone reception strong enough to hot spot- if that’s your purpose For getting away. The hot water system is dodgy and the pipes extremely noisy. Would be great to have more pots and pans (there is a frying pan and a pot). The other interesting thing about this cottage is that there is no lounge room. Your communal space is outside rain or shine. It is in a great location (walking distance to Deadman’s Beach) and you get to be on Straddie. The retro decor is really nice.
Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2020
