I have booked and stayed many times and the experience is just getting better each time , from the friendly booking procedure to the professional presentation of Toogoom Retreat .The interaction and follow up service from Klayre is amazing and so reassuring , constantly showing her genuine interest in offering our family the best getaway experience possible. 10/10 Will definitely be booking there with her again soon 😎

We spent a week boating, swimming, kayaking, crabbing and fishing at Toogoom Retreat. Such a vibrant river system. Kids especially loved jetty jumping at high tide. We kept the fire stoked and ate lunch outside under the shady trees. Just bliss.
Kylere the property manager was great, she ensured we were contacted and fully informed before check in with all the information when the website went down. It was lovely to meet you Kylere.
The house was spotless and lovely and cool upon arrival after a long drive. Everything you need is stocked in the kitchen, there’s plenty of towels and linen. All the amenities to keep the inside house and verandah tidy are all available.
Guests should come fully stocked with mossie coils, bug spray and stop itch for the bugs that come out at dawn and dusk. And if you want to spend extended time on the jetty and in the water bring a shade gazebo to tie down.
This week was one of our families best holidays yet, just so restful and peaceful, we were all sad having to go back to reality. Looking forward to visiting Toogoom Retreat again.

Fantastic house for our growing family to spend time together.
Heaps of space to spread out.
The house was clean and spacious.
There was plenty of linen. The kitchen was also stocked with all the essentials you need to cook for a large crowd.
We utilised the fire pit to toast marshmallow’s and a few lines were wet with fishing.
Our overseas visitors loved the birdlife, the occasional goanna and the feel of the Australian bush.
Our Xmas was everything we hoped for. Would highly recommend this space for any growing family.

We were so impressed with the cleanliness and how well appointed this house was.
Such a beautiful location and a comfortable place for us, a group of 6 plus our dog.
Whether we were outside enjoying nature the picturesque large trees, the wonderful waterways and a little nightime fire, or inside cooking together and playing games or watching movies, we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
We did not want to leave!
Highly recommend for a stress free getaway.

House was great everything you could need but there was quite a bit of dog hair on couch and mat in the lounge room which wasn’t good for our 9 month old crawling around on floor, we were under the impression we would be able to use our boat at any time of day but we couldn’t as there isn’t much water most of the tide, we think it is more of a retreat for people that don’t really use their boat as to a family holiday fishing and crabbing, as to why we cut our holiday short by 4 nights, sorry but we were a bit disappointed

Property manager was so helpful with prompt replies. House is stunning. Mud crabs, whiting, Estuary cod, and Trevally were caught. Will definitely be back. Only suggestion I have would be lighting on the Jetty for night fishing.

Absolutely loved this house! Great views in every room. House was clean and well stocked with essentials. Boat ramp and personal jetty was a big plus. Nice verandah to enjoy the afternoon and watch the sunset! Was getting cool at night when we were there, so the firepit was a bonus.

Arrived at Toogoom, took a wrong turn but eventually found the driveway entrance.
Pulled up to find a beautiful cottage on the water.
House inside was emaculate, everything we needed was there.
Kitchen is spacious and perfect for cooking a large feast for a family.
Fantastic position, right on the water, the balcony was great to relax on in the afternoon and kept my dog Max safe and happy during the day.
Flaws:
- Quite a few sandflies early morning and late afternoon.
- Private boat ramp is great but only useable at high tide, as creek is extremely shallow.
Overall we had a great time. 4/5.

This was our second visit to this slice of paradise. It has everything for the fishing and pet lover.
The new owners have fixed up the place fantastically.
Fishing with bait a quick paddle away.
A private jetty and large yard.
We have only just left and we are already planning dates to return.

Absolutely loved the home and locale...property manager Kleyre had prompt response time on a Sunday - gold stars!!
Should you decide to stay - a quick trip to BCF is a must, mud crabs brilliant sizes (they love Mullet) and flatheads good eating - kids also caught bream from the jetty and released them.
(be sure to look at QLD Dept of Fisheries to ensure you are doing the right thing & maintaining a sustainable environment for our marine life - in this instance size does matter ;D )
Listening to the frogs and crickets at night from the pond out front were like a lullaby that put us all straight to sleep and the driveway is beautiful for anytime of day strolls.
Highly recommend!!

We were wanting a relaxing break and this holiday did not disappoint! Secluded and quiet location on the banks of the Beelbi Creek - it doesn’t get much better. The house was a good size and had everything we needed including an amazing DVD collection! My only criticism would be the quality of the bed linen - felt cheap and was not.nice to sleep on. This being said, we will definitely be back for another stay, perhaps with our own linen next time. Thanks for a great holiday home 👍

Hassle free, had everything we needed from toddlers to adults, fishing was good, kayaking was great, but like everywhere nowadays has idiots on JetSkis, nearly hooked one when he broke my fishing rod & line by not looking where he was going at a thousand kms an hour on a small river system…but will be looking to book again but next time for longer if available, hosts were great

We just spent 6 nights at Toogoom Retreat and loved every single minute of our stay. We are lucky enough to live driving distance so we brought pur kayaks, fishing rods and mountain bikes with us. We spent the week exploring the river and watching our fishing rods from the decking. Best holiday ever.

The Toogum Retreat is a lovely place to relax and unwind. If I could give some honest feedback it would be to upgrade the beds and change the water pressure in the bathrooms. The contraption on the air conditioner was confusing and I don’t think necessary given the property has solar panels. There was plenty of linen and the property was really clean on arrival. Lovely big Kitchen that is more than adequate with plenty of supplies for cooking. The garage was excellent with plenty of height for our 4wd to clear. The property manager was welcoming and a pleasure to deal with. Overall I would recommend a getaway at this beautiful property on the river.
