The Happy House is at the township of Happy Valley on K'gari / Fraser Island.
The house is only a 70m walk along a boardwalk to the eastern surf beach.
The house is set up for up to 4 families, or 10 fishermen.
Sleeps 18 guests in beds and has 4 x sofa beds for extras if needed.
The Happy House is a very popular house, mostly due to its very affordable price; but also because we can accomodate large family groups, and it's in a great location.
It's central to all the best sights, and also has great fishing right on the beach in front of Happy Valley.
It's clean, comfortable, beach chic styled, with modern kitchen appliances, and is fully fenced and child friendly.
We have an igloo style woodfired pizza oven in the front yard, that cooks the yummiest pizzas.
Also in the front yard is a firepit, and plenty of chairs to sit around it, and enjoy a few cold drinks and even watch the footy on the 65inch smart TV up on the veranda.
