Another great stay at Starfish
Posted Apr. 19, 2024 on HomeAwayWe had a wonderful week at Starfish after Easter. We keep coming back because of the excellent location, the clean, comfortable and cosy little house with lots of board games and DVDs for the kids, and the hospitality from Carolyn and Mal. The new deck with its ocean view through the trees is an added bonus. We’ll be back again!

High allergy alert
Posted Apr. 19, 2024 on HomeAwayOn entering the property everything is as pictured online except not as clean. There is noone to greet you. Just keys left in a basket. The smell of an old dusty and musty house hits you when you walk in. On further inspection there were ants and spiders seen in places. The cushions on the chairs at the dining table had mould on them which caused itchiness when sitting on them and the dusty musty smell gave me asthma attacks so i had to take ventolin for the 4 night stay. There needs to be some maintenance done to the property like fixing the roof panels and replace the bbq which was dirty and had missing parts so wasnt usable. The pegs for the clothes line were old and broke when trying to use them. The fridge had dents in the door, the bottom of the oven cupboard needs attention as it looks like something happened and its just been painted over and the lounge had some faint kids drawing marks on them. The location was fantastic but you do need a car to get around. Comfortable bed. Close to the beach. Washing machine and bathroom was very good. Communication with owners was very good.

Hi Rhonda,
We apologise we didn't have a spare moment to greet you. It was the Easter holidays, and we are often busy with our fishing business then.
We appreciate you letting us know the dining chairs cushions need replacing, and we are sorry your allergies were affected. We are next door and had replacements we would have been happy to offer if we were aware. With all of the wet and humid weather we have had recently, all of the properties on the island have been affected. Thank you for pointing it out these things though, and we will do our best to communicate with our cleaner to make sure all of our guests are comfortable. It must be the right conditions for spiders, as we have had plenty too. Our cleaner may have missed one or two. She assures me she checks every clean.
There is a replacement BBQ in the side outdoor area. The one on the patio though, we will attend to replacing the knobs and make sure the cleaner attends to the stainless steel BBQ to ensure it is cleaned each time.
The roof is new, with no issues there, but the ceiling is original pressed chipboard from the 1980s, presenting a beach look. Perhaps you refer to it? It would be a large undertaking to replace that, and we will consider it.
Unfortunately, carelessness has occurred where the fridge door is opened and hits the bench top. It is a good fridge and works well, however.
The cabinetry below the oven is original from a well built 1992 kitchen, and the original oven must have had an issue at some point. However the current oven is not that old and works well.
We will replace the pegs with new ones, and the cushions on the lounge. We have plans to replace the leather lounge very soon.
We thank you for your time to write a review and always try to do our best to provide clean, basic accommodation for island visitors

Lovely house with plenty of room and fully equipped. Relaxing balcony with a view of Moreton Island. Easy drive to Point Lookout and Cylinder Beach. We will stay there again if we have the opportunity.

Affordable view
Posted Feb. 4, 2024 on HomeAwayThe accommodation served its purpose well, small but comfortable, with glimpses of the ocean. You really need a car to get around as it's hilly with no shortcuts. Clean and adequately appointed.
