Driftwood is on one of the best streets on Coochiemudlo. On the highest part of the island it captures the sea breezes. The fenced backyard offers privacy, peace and quiet. Relax and unwind with a glass while you listen to the curlews call to each other at the end of the day.
Guests have access to the whole house. Once you arrive the whole place is yours for the time of your stay.

The neighbourhood
Coochiemudlo really is one of Brisbane's best secrets. A little hideaway only 35kms south east of Brisbane city and only 10 minutes by passenger ferry or 20 minutes by car barge to this little island paradise.
Relax, unwind and forget about the hustle and bustle of daily life and slip into Coochie's relaxed island time. There is so much to do......or not do.
Water sports, bike riding, bushwalking, artist retreats, family time to remember forever.......and keep coming back..... or time out to read a great book or watch the sunset over a glass and a BBQ.

Getting around
Coochiemudlo Island is only 35 kms south east of Brisbane city. It's a short 10 minute ride on the passenger ferry and a 5 minute walk to Driftwood Beach Holiday House. Most people get around the island by walking or hiring a bike.
Ferries run from 5am to 11:30pm every half an hour all week. 6:15am -11pm on weekends. Just web search Amity Trader for the latest timetables before your stay. There are multiple trips a day via the car barge (Amity Trader), just be sure to book in advance. Guests can take the car barge over to the island and use their car on the island for their stay, or if you travel light you can leave your car on the mainland and travel over via the passenger ferry (Note: most locals use luggage or trolleys on wheels!).
There are buses to the City, Carindale Shopping Centre and the local Victoria Point Shopping Centre, right from the ferry terminal.
If you want to be spoilt and live like a local you can have a car on both sides:)
Other things to note
Come fully equipped with all your food and drinks. There is no shopping centre on the island or fuel. We have a corner store/kiosk that sells a small amount of emergency supplies and takeaway food or Coochie Beach Bar for eating out. NOTE: Driftwood Beach Holiday House sleeps up to a maximum of 6 guests. A maximum of 4 adults and 2 children.
There are two very comfortable beds in each room, the bed in the master bedroom is quite high. We have had an elderly guest in the past let us know that it was difficult for them to get into the master bed and step up into the bath/shower and the bath is quite deep. If you have mobility issues please consider how this might affect your stay.
Lastly should the need arise, in the case of an medical emergency the island has volunteer, fully trained first responders and an ambulance, just dial 000.
