Što će Vam se svidjeti u vezi s ovim domom

Our home is a quaint former fisherman's cottage from last century, with a beach 30 metres from the house. It's on Lamb Island in Moreton Bay, just South of Brisbane, Australia. The weather is great - tropical to sub-tropical and often fine in winter.

The house is comfortable but fifty years old, and although air conditioned and modernised, the structure and fittings (while cute) reflect its age. You might describe it as a roomy holiday bach with all the extras. Its small but well formed, and cosy. Everybody who visits says its lovely.

The house has been divided into our home (roughly 100 sq metres), comprising a main living area, including a mezzanine used as an air-conditioned computer workspace and a craft studio. There is a double bedroom and separate bathroom and kitchen along with generous social space on a sheltered veranda outside looking down to the sea front.

We have also incorporated a modern Air BnB studio apartment at a lower level (45 sq metres) which would be available for use as a second ensuite bedroom with its own kitchen and bathroom. (No Air BnB will be booked or allowed while we are away).

The total building will suit two adult couples or possibly a family with teenagers. We exclude families with small children. This is for practical safety reasons due to steep slopes, the proximity of the sea and a hot tub that can be accessed from the AirBnB. We also do not allow pets as the island is rich in native Australian ground birds who nest on the grass but abandon their young if disturbed. The property is not fenced.

Each living area has separate entrance but there is a short external stairway between the units. Both areas are clean, comfortable and have amazing views to a huge bay, with the tide coming and going to the bottom of the yard. To be clear this is not a white sand beach, and the tide comes and goes over a long stony bay. But it's beautiful at all tides and kayaking and swimming can be done at the bottom of the garden for several hours around high tide each day. Better swimming enclosures are available a short walk away, or at a beautiful sandy beach on nearby Karragarra Island four minutes away by free ferry. A marine reserve starts at our beach, and you may meet dugong, turtles, dolphin and fish as you Kayak. You cannot fish from out beach, but there are fishing spots nearby.

If you are coming from a modern house, treat this as a well-equipped holiday home. The sea is at the back door and swimming, fishing, lying on the deck in the sun, and doing very little is the order of every day. The island is rich with birds, trees and clean air. The birds are as friendly as the islanders and will share your food, with or without your permission! There's a hot tub for leisurely relaxation with a glass of what you enjoy.

The beach is attractive but tidal and has pebbles rather than sand. You can swim when the tide is in, and for those who have doubts about swimming in the Pacific Ocean there is a netted swimming area nearby. There's a great protected swimming beach on the next island only a few minutes away by free fast ferry.

This is the ideal house and environment to swop for a busy life for a few weeks to escape, do nothing and unwind. There are no restaurants here, and only a small general store. However, all you need is a five-minute trip to neighbouring islands on the free ferry to grocery shop or go to the local pub and restaurants, or a 25-minute trip to the mainland at Redland Bay and malls, supermarkets, restaurants and entertainment centre.

Što će Vam se svidjeti u ovom susjedstvu

This is a very small leafy island in a cluster of other islands in Southern Moreton Bay, a huge harbour offshore from Brisbane bounded by Stradbroke Island and mainland Australia. Moreton Bay opens onto the Coral Sea and Pacific Ocean and there is very little between us and Russia in that direction.

Lamb Island is one of the smallest populated islands here (less than 300 residents) and has a very quiet lifestyle reminiscent of last century. The only entertainment is the local club, and the only shopping at the general store. We have cars, but many people walk, use cycles or take the Island shuttle bus. It's a quiet leafy island to relax, love, eat, drink, swim, take walks or use as a base to visit Queensland attractions.

The island is connected to the mainland (25 minutes) and other islands by regular fast passenger ferry services and vehicle barges. There is nothing to do here but relax, and enjoy the sea, sun, birds, green tropical clean air and friendly neighbours. There is good Wi-Fi for remote working and full mobile phone communications. We wake with the sun, eat when we are hungry, and sleep when we are tired. There are shops, pubs and clubs, golf club, and medical services on the other islands, minutes away by the free ferries.

A great additional benefit is its location halfway between Brisbane City and the Gold Coast. It's less than an hour by car either way to the bright lights, casinos, and white sand Pacific beaches, Brisbane City and to inland Queensland. It's a great base to explore Queensland while on a quiet holiday by the sea. We have two kayaks and two manual bikes for getting around this and other islands, and (by negotiation) a car to use on the island.

As previously mentioned, the sea offshore from us is a marine reserve and while you cannot legally fish from the garden, good fishing spots are available nearby and off other parts of the island.

So, in summary Lamb Island is a place for a lazy time eating, drinking, relaxing and recovering from a busy year and is a great base to explore Queensland. Our home is the ideal holiday stay in a sub-tropical environment. The weather is warm and sunny most of the time, but being tropical you may also experience spectacular thunderstorms and occasional wild weather. Our house is well above the water line and safe from flooding and tidal surges.

Dodatne informacije

If you are flying into Brisbane or Gold Coast airport we can help you arrange a shuttle to and the ferry terminal to Lamb Island and from the ferry to our home (a very short drive). We will discuss transport options with you online as you may wish to hire a car for touring on the mainland and we will help organise day-to-day transport on Lamb Island.

It may seem a complicated holiday, but we have Air BnB guests coming from around the world and even those who travel by bus (heaven forbid) seem to do it without issue.

Once you are here you will find it's an easy place to conduct life without cares. One of our Estate Agents has the slogan "Come for a day, stay for a lifetime". It's true. We did!

We love it here but like the occasional break in Asia, New Zealand and around Australia. It suits us to swop a city residence for our remote seaside environment and to enjoy some bright lights, restaurants and sightseeing for short trips of one to three weeks. Reciprocal arrangements will work, but if you help us with the details, we can possibly work with guest points and arrange out itinerary around your needs.
