HI Allison,
We loved staying at Marcoola Dunes. We were very pleasantly surprised by the pristine condition of the house and yard. Although it is an older house that has been renovated it was very well equipped and perfect for our family and pooch. Very nice access to the beach and surf club also very quiet. We were initially a bit worried about air traffic noise but that proved not be be an issue. Your cleaners are very good and should be commended. Not a dog hair in sight.
Thanks
Kathryn
Thank you for letting us stay in your home, Marcoola Dunes. This home was equipped with everything we needed and the outdoor area was great for entertaining. We had a fantastic, relaxing time during our week at Marcoola. There is so much to see and do. Our “fur kids” loved their holiday too.
We will be back next year.
The house is very well equipped which is much appreciated – we have stayed in a lot of holiday units over the years which have been sadly lacking in gear.
Thank you Alison
Our stay at Surf Club House was all I had hoped for. We went as an extended family, my elderly parents in the smaller self contained house (he snores and she gets up and down all night coughing and reading!) So it suited them perfectly.
My family had the larger main house with adult children coming and going over the Christmas week. The kitchen works well with plenty of space, storage and preparation benches.
The different outdoor entertaining areas meant there was room for everyone no matter what the weather. We all loved the pool, great position meant it was never cold.
The secure garage and extra off street parking was great as we are a family of car proud people! We played table tennis a lot and had a least one long bike ride per day- Coolum/ Marcoola ia wonderfully FLAT! The seats could be wider though- we all “conditioned” our bottoms the more we rode!
The dogs loved the walkies to the beach, board walks and just around the streets. Everyone you met was friendly and the atmosphere very chilled.
The surf club is one of the best I’ve visited, not too big, and the food was lovely and also inexpensive.
We came home rested though having been active enough to feel envigorated for the year ahead.
We can thoroughly recommend Surf Club House. Alison was great to deal with, I was very clear about her expectations and I felt she was with mine too.
Regards,
Leanne
Great time!
We had a great time. Location was ideal, facilities in the house and around was great. Close to the beach and Surf Club which was very handy. We did not want to leave.
Thanks again.
Regards Adam
Our two dogs had a great time
We thought that the house was beautiful and really appreciated the note letting us know about maintenance that would be required. This meant that we were not too inconveniced during the holiday. Our two dogs had a great time running around the gardens and exploring the yard.
The granny flat was perfect for giving our other guest privacy and time to themselves as well.
We will definitely be coming back to stay again.
Thanks,
Kelly Whittaker
2nd stay at Marcoola Dunes.
This was our 2nd stay at Marcoola Dunes. The property is always very well presented and very well equipped. It is comfortable and homely whilst remaining very modern and stylish. The pool is lovely and the patio area is great for relaxing with a good book whilst listening to the sounds of the birds and the water feature. The house is very easily cooled or heated with the air conditioners – depending on the time of year that you are visiting. The new front fencing makes it a completely enclosed property and allows more room for your dogs to roam safely. Marcoola has some nice shops and eating places and the property is very close to the beach, which is great for your dogs and children. All in all a great location and a terrific holiday home.
Many thanks,
Karen
Yes, we did enjoy our time in the house very much. We loved the extras like the mountain bikes and the pongpong table that we and our lunch visitors spent hours playing. Tux our dog was happy with so many areas to explore in the garden and the endless dog beach across the road. Having a washing machine was just so helpful as we’d travelled for a week beforehand and needed to put a load through. All the electricals worked and the beds comfortable. My kids were very impressed with the space and look of the house, the pool was a definite hit.
My husband noticed as we left that, although the tv’s were all working fine, the aerial had come off its pole on the roof, perhaps in the wind. We thought you might like to check that. Also there is a very spikey plant in the pool area that a little visitor had a very minor scratch from, just thought I’d mention it as you asked for feedback.
Thank you very much for your kind offer of a discount on our return, and we will definitely be recommending the house.
Many thanks,
Kate
Everything you would expect from an “executive” style home.
The house was beautifully appointed right down to both electronic and “old fashioned” board games for us to play with. It was very comfortable and has everything you would expect from an “executive” style home.
The location is within easy reach of all the attractions and shopping that Coolum Beach has to offer including a great off-leash dog beach that my dogs thoroughly enjoyed. The house aspect is such that it overlooks a billabong and the rain-forest covered hill behind it. Despite the house having so much to offer, we spent most of our time on the back patio and in the pool which both exploit the house’s aspect.
The local duck population from the billabong were suitably cheeky and entertaining as they waddled up to the fence to demand their daily bread. My sister from England was also amazed and thrilled to see the local kangaroos feeding on the grassed area behind the house.
All in all, we had a very relaxing holiday and would have no hesitation in recommending this house to anyone looking to get away from it all in style. Dealing with the owner (Alison) was also an un-complicated process and added to the overall experience of the holiday.

Truly pet friendly.
We have stayed at a few pet friendly properties but this house is truly pet friendly NO CARPETS.
The fur kidz loved the fact that it is only a short walk to the beach and so could go a couple of times a day.
The layout of the house is great with a feeling of space but small enough to maintain. Also has a great pool
A fully fenced corner block with plenty of yard space
The king size beds were actually comfortable what a pleasant surprise
We shall return
