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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended ### Food and drink - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Shower ### Entertainment - TV ### Laundry - Dryer ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![3 bedrooms, WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66150000/66143400/66143304/7de2e9a6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Banksia Beach House | 3 bed 2.5 Bath | sleeps 6 Point Lookout - Ocean view - Dryer - Pet friendly - Game room [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=66143304&PinnedHotelID=66143304&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105760000/105753400/105753392/2405db23.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach Echoes by Discover Stradbroke | Huge covered deck area in the tree tops Point Lookout - Ocean view - Dryer - Air conditioning - Microwave 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=105753392&PinnedHotelID=105753392&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33920000/33913700/33913623/5618de28.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Three bedroom lowset house surrounded by bush and native wildlife.

Sep 7, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### 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. ##### Karen M.
