Host was very welcoming and accommodating for us and our nervous dog. So nice to find a place that allows dogs inside (as long as they are clean and not on beds or couches of course). Our dog stays inside at night at home so it was nice to have him inside with us at night. We all loved waking up to the sound of nature and i was delighted to hear and see my fav - the black cockatoo! We enjoyed meeting the gorgeous resident border collie and seeing the cows and goats in the adjoining paddock. The stay was peaceful and within easy access to all the sunny coast has to offer. The cabin had all the amenities you need. Thanks - we will be back!

The cabin is even better in person then in the photos. The absolute perfect spot to sit back and relax. The views were absolutely beautiful of the pond and the cows and goats. Very peaceful and quiet location. We loved it so much we wanted to stay another night but it was already booked. We can’t wait to come back.

Good location, easy to find. Cabin met my requirements and great for my fur baby to run around. Close to Stumers Creek which was a fabulous off leash dog beach. Host was lovely and left you alone to be in your own space. No Wi-Fi available.

Lovely little cabin, very clean and well presented. Beautiful setting and lots of wildlife. Was perfect for the dogs to enjoy the freedom and security of the fully fenced paddock. Great location, only 10 mins to the Coolum dog beach. Easy process for checking in and owners very prompt and helpful with a slight issue with the water. Thank you for a lovely relaxing few days.

My dogs loved the dam.

I am so impressed with Doug and Marilyn's friendliness and prompt responses to my queries. Their property is perfect. Very comfortable and quite retro. I would definitely recommend their cabin to anyone looking for a quiet retreat. Their cows, sheep and goats are a bonus.Thank you so much.Jo

Quick little getaway!

This place was perfect for a quick little get away to the sunshine coast. Everything was as described.It quite literally was a 'cabin in the dam paddock' and that added to novelty of this quant accommodation choice. Our kids enjoyed the few farm animals around and would have loved it even more if we had been able to get a small fire going at night. Although we had to tackle a few bugs at night, it didn't detract from the vibe.I would book here again (and recommend to others) if it suited. Thanks for the Stayz

Very quiet and secluded.

The property was good, it was what we expected, the only disappointment was we did not have easy access to internet service. I required internet service 24/7. I had to run it off my phone which was fine when we there but not when we went out. The owner did all he could to help me out. Otherwise all good.

Relax by the Dam

This property is amazing. The cabin was clean and tidy and totally self contained. It has a wonderful fenced in area for the dogs so they were able to run free. The dam has an abundance of birdlife that we could just sit back, relax and watch. Can't wait to get back again. need to leave

Loved the charm of the cabin. Beautiful outlook over the dam. Worth going up Ninderry mountain just for the stunning view at the top. Handy to beach.
