Good to know

An idyllic cottage perfect for couples or singles, this intimate, tree-shaded granny flat is situated in the centre of coastal country town, Woombye, only one hour from Brisbane.

We had a delightful stay at the Banksia Bungalow. The place was clean and had convenient features with a kitchen and plug in hot-plate. The bath was also a big plus. The place is also a quick walk to the Wombye town centre and a close drive to the beach or Kondalilla. Ethan was lovely, easy to communicate with and even gifted a bottle of wine for our stay. Thanks for a great stay!

We also loved the attention to detail in the interior design which added to our delightful stay. The bungalow is located in a beautiful spot which allows both a country and coastal holiday. Would definitely stay again 😊

We had such a lovely time at Ethan’s bungalow! The space is incredibly clean, well furnished and comfortable. We really enjoyed the location as it was nice and quiet but still close to many things on the Sunshine Coast. Would definitely stay again :)

We had a great stay at Ethan’s cottage! The listing was very accurate and all the essentials were provided. The location was lovely, we walked in to town each day for coffee. It was a breeze communicating with Ethan, he was very friendly and quick to reply. Overall, an exceptional stay. We’ll be back!
