Welcome to 'Wumbai' House, an enchanting vintage home, nestled in the picturesque Sunshine Coast town of Woombye. This delightful 5-bedroom home exudes warmth and charm, inviting you to step into a dreamy retreat steeped in history. Wumbai - meaning place of the Black Myrtle tree, is a lovingly renovated abode, preserving the alluring vintage features such as exposed timber beams, hardwood floors, and intricate ceilings, while seamlessly blending modern comforts.
Embrace the tranquil atmosphere of this idyllic Queenslander, perfect for couples or families seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Located in the heart of Woombye, just an hour from Brisbane, our tree-shaded haven offers the ideal setting to curl up with a captivating book and a glass of wine or indulge in a soothing soak in the elegant cast-iron clawfoot bathtub. As you explore the myriad wonders of the Sunshine Coast, rest your weary head in our character-filled sanctuary. We provide all bed linen, beach and bath towels, basic toiletries, and kitchen essentials for your convenience. The property features a fully-equipped kitchen, but please note there is no laundry (a laundromat is just a 300m stroll away).
During your stay, you will have exclusive access to the property, including off-street parking for two cars and ample free on-street parking. As our charming abode is situated in the town's center, please expect some road noise from passing cars and buses. Due to a small set of steps at the front door, shower over bath, and several large above-ground tree roots in the yard, our property may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.
Other things to note:
Nestled within a family-oriented neighborhood, we kindly ask that noise be kept to a minimum. The space is not suitable for events or parties. For security purposes, one security camera is positioned outside the front of the main residence, capturing motion in the front yard and one Minut noise monitor near the living room (this records noise levels but does not record any actual sound).
The cozy lounge room offers a projector with Wi-Fi, Netflix, and Stan via smart TV, but does not include standard television channels. While our Wi-Fi is reasonably fast, it is not designed for gaming or heavy downloads. Phone reception may vary depending on your provider. Please note that we do not provide cots, extra beds, or high chairs. The home is tailored for weekend and weekly getaways, and may not be suitable for long-term (monthly) stays. No pets are allowed, and the entire property is designated as a smoke-free area. If you must smoke, please do so across the road.
As our vintage sanctuary is situated in a country town near the Australian bush, nature enthusiasts will delight in the occasional sightings of birds, geckos, ants, spiders, frogs, possums, native rats, mosquitos, dragonflies, butterflies, sandflies, bees, wasps, bush cockroaches, native water dragons, lizards, snakes, and other reptiles in and around the property. The cottage features original vintage windows without screens, so insects may be present (though the property is regularly treated for pests, and we provide plug-in mosquito deterrents and repellants). If any of the above concerns you, kindly reconsider your stay with us.
Immerse yourself in the enchanting allure of our vintage sanctuary, and allow the serene surroundings to lull you into a state of blissful relaxation. We look forward to hosting your unforgettable Sunshine Coast getaway!
