General Overview

We live in a lovely coastal home in Central Queensland. Our place has a very 'beachy' feel, and you can walk from the house onto Farnborough beach in about 5 minutes. We're on a hill, and have spectacular sea and beach views from both inside and out on the large deck. 

Relax and drink in the views across to a number of Islands, and the sound of the waves is super soothing! 

Yeppoon boasts beautiful beaches and a vibrant foreshore area that is perfect for a stroll or relaxation. The free to use infinity lagoon pool adjacent to the beach is amazing!

The town is the primary departure point for trips to the stunning islands of the Great Keppel group and the nearby Great Barrier Reef. 

The main street and esplanade are lined with trendy boutiques, surf stores, and numerous restaurants and cafés serving local produce, including seafood, beef, and tropical fruits.
 
The town features a growing street art scene with murals adorning walls, contributing to its chic coastal vibe.

We're close to the stunning Byfield National Park, which has lots of options for hiking, bicycling, horse riding, fishing and boating.

If sailing is your thing the Keppel Bay Sailing Club is right on the beach in Yeppoon, with lots of opportunities to enjoy sailing on the ocean. They have regular races, regattas and an active social scene in the town.

The Space

There are two floors in the home, you enter thought the front door on the main living level, which has an open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen. The master bedroom with en-suite bathroom is also on this level. 

All rooms have ceiling fans and we also have air conditioning throughout. However, we catch lovely sea breezes so rarely need to use these. 

Doors lead out from the lounge to the spacious deck, which has comfortable chairs for lounging and a dining table.

Downstairs are the two two double bedrooms, both with queen sized beds. There is a large family bathroom with walk-in shower, and spa bath and a separate toilet. There's  also a laundry area. There are sliding doors out to another outdoor seating area on the garden level, with lounge chairs and sea views.

There's a shared swimming pool in our landscaped garden space.

Guest Access

Level throughout on the first floor (main living area) with internal stairs down to lower level (8+8).
We have parking directly outside the house, and an attached double garage.

Notes

Seeking globes to help us with our future travel plans.

Happy also to arrange non-sim exchanges, as we're often away travelling.

We would be willing to exchange cars if this could be agreed on.

Really open to proposals for longer stay as we can be away from home for several months.

Feedback

We absolutely loved Geraldine and Terry’s home in beautiful Yeppoon! We had the most fabulous time exploring this absolutely beautiful area and couldn’t help ourselves … and jumped on the ferry several times to swim with the turtles at Great Keppel Island!!! What an unforgettable experience.!!! Geraldine and Terry’s home was perfect for a quintessential beach holiday! The views are second to none and we felt so happy and relaxed there! We especially loved how cozy and welcoming their home felt, with all of Geraldine’s thoughtful and lovely home touches. And it was clear and lovely that they’d gone to a lot of trouble to organise their home especially for the exchange! So thoughtful and kind! We felt truly special to have had the chance to experience such an awesome holiday, and we would absolutely love to return! Geraldine was an absolute delight to communicate with! We really did love everything about this exchange! And we can’t recommend this beautiful part of Queensland and their home highly enough! Thank you Geraldine and Terry!

There are are so many lovely spaces to lounge, the home is immaculate and so functional. Geraldine and Terry are so welcoming and Thornlands and the surrounding areas have so much to offer.

Geraldine & Terry

Hi there! We are Geraldine & Terry, a retired couple, originally from the UK, and recently moved from Brisbane to our beach house in Yeppoon. After the busyness of Brisbane, we're loving the laid back coastal vibe here, and I'm sure you will too! We're interested in longer exchanges particularly, and  generally have the freedom to travel at anytime. It will usually be just the two of us, but occasionally may be with close family, but  we'd always check that this would be OK prior to an exchange. We would be very respectful of your home, and ensure everything is well cared for, and leave it neat, clean and tidy,
