Haven

Haven is a peaceful retreat just a short stroll from Cylinder Beach, local shops, public transport, and the Straddie Hotel. Set in a quiet location where native wildlife often makes an appearance, the home offers a relaxed, private island escape.

Upstairs, you’ll find two comfortable double bedrooms, while downstairs features a large rumpus/sleepout room with two single beds — perfect for extra guests or children. The home is equipped with two TVs, a DVD player, fans throughout, and a microwave for convenience. Laundry is made easy with an automatic washing machine, and the lock-up garage adds secure parking.

Step outside to the verandah and enjoy the gas BBQ, all within a fully screened home for comfort and peace of mind. With its combination of quiet surroundings and easy access to the beach and local amenities, Haven is a relaxed, family-friendly base for your Straddie getaway.

Linen supplied and beds made for your arrival.

  Always love our stay at Haven. There was a lot of dead ants, spiders and dust in corners but we can live with it as location is so great.

  Sue M from Brighton, QLD recommends this vacation rental

  Haven is an affordable older but comfortable home close to Cylinder Beach and the local shops. It does require some maintenance with the back verandah unexpectedly barricaded off and quite a bit of mildew in the bathroom. A solid comfortable home with everything needed for a family holiday.

  Katrina D from Brisbane, QLD recommends this vacation rental

  We have been returning to The Haven over the past 6 or so years now. The house is very comfortable and the location is excellent. I have taken a couple of stars off only because there was a slight issue with the new fridge being moved from the garage up into the kitchen a few days after our arrival.

  Katrina D from Brisbane, QLD recommends this vacation rental

  We return to The Haven again and again because it is very welcoming and ideally situated. The only criticisms we have is that there are a few things needing a little bit of attention at the moment. The fly-screens all could do with replacing and the bed in the first bedroom down the hallway really needs replacing. Apart from those things it would be five stars all the way and the house would be super comfortable. The newly refurbished front deck looks great!

  Maree Y from Coochiemudlo island, NA recommends this vacation rental

  The house was beautiful with books, board games and cards provided, and other island mementos such as seaside pictures and crafted mementos throughout the house. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and appliances. The bathroom was clean. The only suggestion I would make to the owner/s is to have ceiling fans or air con installed as it was hot sometimes even in April. Overall the feel of the house was well loved and comfortable. I think the family who lived there originally must have treasured living in Haven and living on Straddie - just a guess.

  Katrina D from Brisbane, QLD recommends this vacation rental

  We have been returning to the Haven for the past 5 years now because it is so welcoming and in such a great location. It may not have all the mod cons but it sure makes up for that with it's great setting in a quiet street and close beach, shops and pub. We love the wildlife that comes to visit and the tranquil garden setting. The only gripe we have is that possibly the beds ( in the two up stairs bedrooms) are getting a little worn out and probably
  need replacing. Especially, the one in the second bedroom.

  We once again enjoyed a very relaxing holiday at the Haven. Situated in a great location. Easy to get to the beach,shops and pub. The Haven is an easy going beach house surrounded by lush green gardens. This was our fourth stay and we love it. We only took one star off (property's general condition) because the mattress in the first bedroom down the hallway really does need replacing.
