Indoor/outdoor pet-friendly beach house next to world-class beach and river.

Welcome to the best pet friendly beach house experience in the Elliott Heads area. Bring your K9 best friends for a fabulous beach holiday (they are welcome inside and out).

**Professional in property pet sitting now available - please enquire for details**

Huge ocean-facing deck. Fully refurbished in December 2023 with new bedding, linen, furniture, smart TVs, free wifi and all kitchen equipment and appliances and located in a quiet street at quaint Elliott Heads village.

100 metre walk to the sensational sandy Elliott River, patrolled surf beach and surf-side fish and chip shop. Lighthouse is a dream location for your summer vacation or winter getaway.

We are known for our world-class conditions for kite-surfing and renowned pristine waters where you can whale watch from the headland, snorkel over reef just off the beach and reel in cracker fish from the shore.

Lighthouse is four houses down from the riverside walkway which runs along the beach north through nearby villages. Perfect for a long leisurely walk, bike riding and rollerblading.

Fantastic bowling club with a free bus if you want a tipple and terrific food. Lighthouse is located only 20 minutes from the bustling centre of Bundaberg, which has an airport.

Your pets will love the fully fenced yard and if you love your pets inside, snuggled up on the couch with you; this is the dream holiday beach house. Free high-speed NBN WiFi included for all the family. Everything is here for the perfect holiday in the quietest street in dream Elliott Heads. Just pack your towels and you're ready to go.

Pet sitting now available as well for when you need to take off for the day. Contact thedogsitter.com.au. She is located in our street.

We loved our weekend getaway at Elliot Heads, the house was just perfect it had a beautiful beachy feel and had everything we needed. Absolutely fantastic location with walking distance to the beach and cafe which had the best ice creams for our Grandkids who live in Bundaberg. Would definitely recommend to friends as it really was the perfect place to stay.

We had a beautiful relaxing break at Brendan’s place. Beach access is as close as walking 3 houses up, the beds are comfortable, there is a great deck out the back and Brendan is a wonderful communicator and generous host.This place had everything we needed for us and our poodle with a lot of great walks and other beaches a very quick drive away as well. Especially appreciative that our poodle was allowed inside and we will definitely be back. Thanks Brendan

Host Brendan has made it very easy to stay. He has thought of everything. This place is a home away from home. Brendan answers queries promptly and check in was a simple process This property allows you to have your pets inside but you will spend your days on the awesome back deck listening to the ocean and soaking up the sun. There is a bar fridge on the deck so drinks easy to procure. There is the most fantastic walking area at river mouth - acres of sand to explore and it’s a one minute walk away. The house is clean and beds are extremely comfortable. This is our third stay at this property and I highly recommend it.

Great home close to the beach

Well appointed home, that has everything you need. Also located very close to the beach which was amazing. Great verandah to sit out on. The beach was dog-friendly on-leash so our dogs loved it, also a great yard for them to run in.

The best dog friendly place we’ve ever stayed at!

From the moment we walked in the door, we loved this place! Everything you could need and more to have a nice comfortable stay for you and your dog/s! Us humans enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen, smart TV, beautiful balcony where we ate all of our meals and the convenience of a fully equipped laundry. But the most important guest (our dog,) was impressed by the huge grassy back yard, the comfy couch he was allowed to snooze on and the short walk to the beach.
