From the moment we arrived we were greeted by Rhonda who goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need. It was so quiet and peaceful yet sill close to all that Airlie Beach and surrounding areas have to offer. It was great that we could have our dog with us and they accept your fur babies. We hope to visit again one day. Highly recommend for people that love the rainforest and privacy. Alex and Debbie

The host went above and beyond with welcoming us on the first night. Some highlights were margaritas, fresh eggs, mangoes and lychees. The cottage had everything you need for cooking. Our large dog had no problems staying there. Nice and relaxing with a rainforest vibe. Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved my stay at the Curlew Cottage!! The cottage was beautiful and had lots of little touches to add to your stay. The outdoor shower was bliss. I am back on the road now and definitely missing the curlew cottage. Thank you Rhonda.

All fine.

Loved the stay

Great

On arrival I was greeted by Rhonda. The cottage was beautifully presented and the outdoor shower was amazing. The outdoor kitchen added that camping feel, eggs, croissants, butter and jam. Perfect place to chill out and the hospitalitywas highly appreciated

We so enjoyed Curlew Cottage and will be back again. The cottage is a delightful place to stay, a lovely refuge with everything one needs. Very private and yet nice and close to town.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Quiet to recharge and relax. So nice to wake up in the morning to sounds of nature - a variety of bird calls to welcome the day. The cottage was well equipped and the host provided a lovely welcome pack of nibbles etc. Rhonda is the perfect host. Can highly recommend a stay here.

Everything was there to make our stay comfortable. Great hosts. Thank you

The property is extremely well presented and located close to the owners home but surrounded by large rain forest growth. This layout makes one feel that they are in the middle of a jungle with wonderful nature sounds coming from every direction whilst being close enough for easy communication with the owner if required. The property is amazing with that which is supplied in the way of facilities, household needs, welcoming treats, car parking space and is located within easy reach of Airlie Beach. We required and wanted for nothing and can only recommend this little gem to everyone. The property owner is extremely accomodating and welcoming to ensure your stay is perfect. More than full marks and we will be back. Thank you Rhonda.

Beautiful place, very friendly host's.

We had a wonderful relaxing time at Curlew Cottage. Rhonda was such an amazing host and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was one to remember! The location of the cottage is perfect. It’s close to town yet you feel like you’re miles away. The doggies had the best time exploring and checking out the chooks! The only feedback we have is for dog owners - there aren’t any fences around the property. Luckily Rhonda and Pete are animal lovers so we could keep them inside, but maybe you could possibly think about adding a fence just around the cottage area :) Thanks for a wonderful stay, we will definitely be back!

Beautiful property in a wonderful part of the world. The owner is absolutely wonderful and has been amazingly thoughtful and really put in attention to detail of anything you may need. Peaceful. Lovely. No regrets.

We were instantly in love with the place before we even stepped out of the car! Our very friendly and lovely host Rhonda met us at the cottage & showed us around, apologising for the dryness due to lack of rain. Regardless, our stay was very comfortable & just what we needed at the end of a full on year & we live in the busiest, noisiest street in a small town, so the quiet was so welcome. The cottage is perfect with everything one needs for short or long stays. The location was perfect for us, being between Airlie beach & Proserpine where our father/father-in-law resides in the nursing home. Our dog was also made to feel welcome, and even though there is no fencing, he is not a big wanderer & well trained & behaved so it wasn’t an issue for us or Rhonda & Peter. This was his first holiday with us so a learning curve for us all & a pleasant one :) We were also allowed to take Maxie into the nursing home to visit our Dad which was a big plus. We will definitely be back to stay at the beautiful Curlew Cottage. Thank you so much Rhonda & Pete for your wonderful hospitality. Merry Christmas to you both and may 2021 be a fantastic year for you, best wishes Helen, John & MaxiePS The outdoor shower is the best!!!

Fantastic holiday

Our stay here was great, the place was clean and tidy and the location was close to everything, would recommend this stay to anyone!

Rhonda is an amazing host and Curlew Cottage is a gorgeous place to unwind in the tranquil bush setting but be only minutes away from the action of Airlee Beach.

This little cottage well and truly exceeded our expectations, its a comfortable distance from town and Pete and Rhonda took great care of us during our stay. Do not let the outdoor shower put you off, full privacy and gets you into the beachy holiday mood fast! We will be recommending this little cottage to many of our family and friends. Thank you for making the Curlew Cottage available, so nice to be surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature and having very hospitable hosts not far away. Cant wait for another Airlie Beach adventure staying at the Curlew Cottage!

I've stayed at places where a full continental breakfast, ended up being two slices of bread with a knob of complimentary butter. When I messaged Rhonda that some delicious homemade dip was greedily eaten, she offered refills. I've stayed at 'cosy' units, large & 'complete' enough for two bedrooms, laundry, the works - but always some glaring problem; one place with double glass entry doors had absolutely no covering, or privacy! But as far as cosiness and privacy go; well when i rolled into the ground of Curlew Cottage, I had to come to complete stop, i couldn't see it at all, and needed to be directed to the hidden entrance of the private driveway and parking area, that only then reveals a part of the cottage. I have to admit, though, when I saw the pictures of the outdoor bath and kitchen, I was a little sceptical, but as great as they looked in the pictures, they're a hundred times more awesome in person. And there's nothing 'outdoorsy' or 'utilitarian' about them, immediately on arrival and seeing them, i'm a little disappointed the luxuriousness and romance of the outdoor areas will be lost on my two dogs - who absolutely adored the grounds. Being a nomad, I have my house in my car; so as loosely defined as self-contained cottage, or 'home away from home' taglines can be, that's OK with me; I can always unpack whatever I need from my wagon and supplement the place i'm renting; but i ended up unpacking so little, that I managed to leave an hour before plans to because of so little packing was needed on the way out, after five days there. But getting away early is no indication of my time at Curlew Cottage, Rhonda and Steve have made a place they would call home, yours for a few days when you need it.

Our stay was most enjoyable. Would recommend to anymore wanting a peaceful and tranqil break. Accommodation was very comfortable with the facilities available in the property the best we have encountered with attention to the finer details impeccable. The outside shower and kitchen was a delightful added touch. Thank you Rhonda and Peter for making our stay very memorable.

Had a fabulous 8 day stay at Curlew Cottage. Owners went out of their way to make our stay really enjoyable whilst respecting privacy. Fantastic little treats when we arrived. The cottage is nicely furnished with proper big comfy bed. The outdoor kitchen and shower are just great. Airlie and Whitsunday Islands are not to be missed. Truly magical area and fabulous cottage that’s reasonably priced. Thanks Rhonda & Pete

Perfect cottage! My husband and I with our two doggies loved the stay at Curlew Cottage. The hosts were so helpful and accommodating. Had enough parking for our vehicles too! Loved the layout of the cottage. Very unique and such a great place to rest and recharge. We recommend this property 100%

Situated on 7 acres, just outside Airlie Beach, this beautiful cabin is perfect for relaxing and rejuvenating. We stayed for 14 nights while in the process of relocating. It is equipped with everything that you need - wifi, full kitchen, bbq, TV, washing facilities. The birds and wildlife in the mornings and evenings are amazing. The owners are a lovely couple who also live on the property. They are respectful of privacy but are only ever an SMS away if you need anything. We are going to miss them! - Would definitely stay again and we have already recommended it to friends and family :)

Beautiful little cabin, we both enjoyed our stay and felt very welcomed. Thanks very much

Loved the outside shower with the view of nature. Private little cottage with everything you need. Comfy bed, great shower, outdoor kitchen, air con and TV. Thanks for a peaceful stay Rhonda
