A wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable and well presented. Lots of added extra touches that made the stay really easy. Fire pit was hit with our teenage sons. Dogs enjoyed the outside space. Comfy beds. A great host. Would happily stay again and recommend to others to stay.

What a fantastic place to stay. The place was incredibly well furnished with a full kitchen and all of the utensils you could need to create great meals at home. The house was very private and quiet and within walking distance to the shops. They have gone above and beyond with all of the incredibly thoughtful extra touches that made our stay such a joy, like the welcome goodies spices for cooking, stubbie coolers, games and umbrellas at the front door. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and offered a number of suggestions for our stay and always quick to respond if we had any questions. Thank you so much Alister & Sheena for making it such a fabulous getaway, we plan to be back again!

We had such a lovely stay at Hughes Hideaway. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed—and more! We really appreciated the thoughtful extras provided on arrival, which made us feel instantly welcome. The area is so peaceful and relaxing, yet still conveniently close to everything we needed. It was the perfect base for our trip, and we’d absolutely stay again. Highly recommend!

This stay is nothing short of phenomenal! Having two small children, and two dogs, it’s hard to find somewhere that safely houses the entire family and still affords creature-comforts. The home itself is so comfortable - every little detail has been considered, from delicious coffee, to board games, and even a welcome pack! Everything that could make this place home, has been included. Outside is so peaceful and spacious, perfect for sipping a coffee on the deck while kids & critters run and play out in the yard. Our toddler particularly enjoyed the huge array of birdlife that visited every morning! Adding to the family-friendly considerations, our host provided a bed-rail for our toddler to keep him safe, and plastic dinnerware for worry-free dinners. Location is the cherry on top. So central to Yeppoon yet feels like a rainforest retreat. Would recommend this stay over any other place we’ve been to in Yeppoon - such a lovely getaway. 🤍 Thank you Alister & Sheena!

We have stayed at AirBnbs all over the world, and this was the best place ever. Totally private with lush tropical gardens, the house is extreme well laid out, beautifully decorated and extremely well supplied. The attention to detail is incredible. The hosts gave us excellent local tips that were perfect. We will be back!

We had a beautiful stay for a few days here and it was a wonderful time. We have 2 young children and the amenities and house was really well setup for family life and requirements. Beautiful location, we felt cosy but also spacious in the cottage. Vaulted ceilings really help bring a calming vibe to the house. Alister was awesome to work with and he helped alot with really clear instructions and a great setup that took the stress out of our stay.

Absolutely perfect stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The hosts have truly thought of everything—from sweet treats and board games to bedding that makes you feel like you’re being hugged by a cloud! The home is beautifully maintained, fully air-conditioned for those humid days, and packed with everything you need. The private garden is a dream—lush, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing outdoors. The outdoor area was one of our favorite spots, offering a stunning view of the greenery and plenty of space for the dogs to play. Every little detail has been considered, making our stay not just comfortable but truly special. We can’t wait to come back!
