Only gripe we had was the couch in upstairs living and king bed upstairs are extremely uncomfortable though tolerable for our week stay. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Amanda M.

Dec 27, 2024 #### Straddie retreat Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location & an interestingly designed house. Could hear the ocean which was wonderful. Lovely upstairs deck area. However the upstairs lounge furniture was old and uncomfortable, two v small TV’s, v little bench space in the kitchen and the barbecue was dirty. The bedrooms/bathrooms were great however mattresses need replacing as they dip in the middle. Not sure I would want to stay there in winter given large areas with fly screens (or none) and no shutters to shut out the wind/breezes. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. ##### jillian p. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline J. Mar 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Jacqueline J.

Reviewer Comments: Stay was ok, the place was described as pet friendly however when we got there it requested that the pet stay outside all the time - this is NOT pet friendly. The bathrooms were spick and span as were the bedrooms but the place needs a thorough deep clean (sticky cupboard handles, light swtiches, bowls/plates had dead bugs in them) and tidy up outside. i was not impressed for the price we paid. We have an investment property and if this place was ours - we would not present it to guests as is. ##### A guest from QLD, NA This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rainer B.

Reviewer Comments: Pandanus is a super cool, Indo inspired, designer beach house that exudes relaxation the minute you walk in the door. With a dining space set in a ‘breezeway’ to catch the seabreeze, and a covered balcony amongst the trees for morning coffee or an evening bbq and drinks, this house is perfect for a Straddie beach holiday. Beaches are all just a short stroll away, and you will spend your time surrounded by polished concrete, natural timbers, Kookaburra calls and Kangaroos. Can’t wait to get back... ##### Rainer B.

Reviewer Comments: We love the house as we have stayed there three or four times. We can see there are a couple of maintenance issues but we dont really care. Bathroom door knob is loose etc... Only thing that bugs me is the Camphor Laurel taking over the front yard and crowding out the original landscaping. Its a noxious weed and can spread a lot of seed and should be removed to allow the Frangepani to advance and provide screening as intended. Also we dont even use the barbecue because it was really dirty last time and i dont want to have to clean up someone elses mess! ##### Andrew F.

Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Pandanus Retreat twice now, and we absolutely love it. It is a low-key island style house that is the perfect place to relax, unwind and get on island time. Its design is unusual, but we love its character and charm that is so unique to Stradbroke Island. It is in a quiet location that is close to everything Point Lookout has to offer. Walk to the shops, cafes, dog friendly beach and the gorge walk. Beds are clean and comfortable, kitchen is basic but has everything you need. Kangaroos hopping past the house daily. Great access and driveway, we could park our car and boat here easily and safely. We will definitely book again. ##### Ali W. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Cindy H. Oct 24, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Horrible waste of money! From the moment I walked in the house I could smell dog poo, I then located the dog poo under the stairs in the open foyer. The house was extremely dirty with cobwebs, dirty windows and dirty kitchen utensils. The worst part, was the cockroach infestation. The huntsman totally understandable it’s a bush environment but at night the walls were literally alive with cockroaches. The furniture was grotty. Total waste of my money and negatively impacted by very first Stradbroke experience. The location of the building was perfect close to the beach and all amenities. The actual architect of the house was very appealing. ##### Cindy H. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Kim W.

I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love this architectural beach shack .Love the design and the garden setting.Nothing nicer than relaxing here after a morning on the beach.It was our third stay a Pandanus Retreat.BUT ?!? Sadly it has still not had a thorough spring clean.Bedrooms are very dusty.And are smelling from the encrusted dust on the walls and windows .Windows need a clean.The mattresses need replacement.As they are sagging. Mattress protector needed washing .There was not a usable fry pan in the draw .They are all black from burnt oil.Seriously?!? Kmart $20 for a fry pan.Change them over annually.The oven needs a clean.Chair upholstery needs steam cleaning or replacing .We had to change gas over when we first cooked.We love Straddie and enjoy this beach shack .Just wish the cleaning and maintenance was better.It’s a great shack that needs some TLC .Also the gardener came while we were in residence.Trying to have a lazy morning and late breakfast.Was like being attacked by an army .If we new they were coming we would have gone out.Perhaps guests should be told what day is the very noisy garden maintenance.As it’s 3 guys on 3 very loud machines all at once.Brush cutter Blower lawn mower .All operating at once .For the minimal amount of garden it was very OTT.This gardening should be scheduled for the clean change over. ##### Kim W.

Jul 20, 2022 #### Tired and not suitable for colder months Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unfortunately our stay was not like the first time we stayed here. Clean was poorly done, with the place not in the best shape. Home is a little tired now, needs some maintenance. Finally, it is simply not suitable for the cooler months or winter - insufficient heating and open spaces are freezing. Really needs investments in air conditioning or larger heaters in each room for winter months, hardly liveable otherwise - we had to resort to collecting the little heaters from each room and populating 4 of them in the lounge room for comfort then moving each to a bed room for sleeping. Not acceptable for the money. ##### Adam J. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly T. May 18, 2022 #### Treehouse Vibes Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved everything about this property. Very cleverly built to enjoy open air and cosy spaces. Close to everything. Contained everything you could need for a great couples or family retreat (BYO booze and food of course). It should be noted that is property is one of 2 on the same block so it did lack in privacy at times. ##### Kelly T.

Reviewer Comments: This is our second stay at Pandanus Retreat this year.We love this Architectural beach house.And will be staying again with friends and family.The bushy aspect is the perfect to relax after the beach.We love the layout with lots of relaxing spaces for reading and chilling.Plus great communal areas for sharing meals and games.But before we return please could you give this property a thorough spring 🌼 clean.All surfaces need dusting and sugar soap wash down.Sorry . . You can’t just rely on your change over cleans.Also a bit disappointed with Ray White lack of communication and attitude when the hot water system wasn’t working.Yes they got it ‘temporarily’ working with a few hours.But we had the inconvenience of No water pressure and we had to stagger showers and use.Unfortunately we were not informed that the new system would not be installed in our visit until we chased them up.No apologies for the inconvenience. Or an offer for a free night stay for the 10 day stay inconvenience.I manage an air bnb and if there is a maintenance problem I always offer some sort of compensation . . . Late check out . . . And extra nights stay . . . Or a least a bottle of wine or chocolates with a sorry card.Hopefully next time we return they will have hot water system fixed. ##### Kim W.
