Farnborough Beach Cottage (beachfront)

If you are looking for the quintessential beach escape then this is the place for you! Farnborough Cottage features a massive veranda on a large, pet friendly, fully fenced block: It is a beachfront paradise overlooking the Keppel Islands. This two bedroom, high set home, is idyllically located on Todd Avenue and also has a day bed in the lounge. Farnborough Cottage provides the perfect getaway for anyone who loves the beach and nature. Twitchers can delight in an array of spectacular birds right from the veranda including rainbow bee eaters, black cockatoos, whistling kites and red-backed fairy-wrens. Stargazers will adore the minimal light pollution and if you time your stay carefully you can enjoy spectacular moon rises over the ocean and islands. For the more adventurous, why not take the opportunity to experience a night swim with bioluminescent dinoflagellates? These glowing phytoplankton are abundant in the ocean around Yeppoon. They illuminate in response to movement (such as a hand running through the water) and can been readily seen in waist deep water on a dark night. 4WD enthusiasts can enjoy the convenience of beach access close by at Bangalee and drive along the beach right up to Sandy point. Guest have use of the entire home and very large (1158m2) fully fenced, secure yard. The storage area under the house is the only area that is not accessible. Access is self check-in via a keypad on the main door. I’m available via text or phone call. My friend Carol lives locally and helps me manage the property. Access to the house is self check in. This is a great place for kids and dogs to run free on a wide calm beach that extends northward from Yeppoon CBD for 20km up to Sandy Point at Corio Bay. A vast expanse of sand, ocean, dunes and space. Farnborough beach joins Yeppoon CBD and Yeppoon Main Beach just 2.4 km from the house.Yeppoon CBD is only 2.4km from Farnborough Cottage. I believe the best way to get there is to don a sunhat and a daypack and stroll along the sand. Alternatively there is a foot path and of course roads so you could drive, ride or catch a public bus just 400m from the house. Further nearby places to explore include: Yeppoon Lagoon, Keppel Kracken, Great Keppel Island, 3 scenic golf courses, Byfield National Park, Nobb Creek Pottery, Koorana Crocodile Farm, Cooberrie Park Wildlife Sanctuary, Capricorn caves. Pet friendly with a fully fenced secure yard. The beach is dog friendly too. Pets are allowed inside but not on the funiture or beds.
