Pet and Family Friendly Peaceful Island W'front home, crabbing, kayaking, bikes | House in Karragarra Island
1 Bedroom House in Brisbane Waterfront, Karragarra Island
Waterfront pet friendly holiday house on Karragarra Island on beautiful Moreton Bay.
Getting to Karragarra Island starts with a bit of adventure: a trip across the bay on the car barge or passenger ferry from Redland Bay. As soon as you disembark you step into a different zone.
There are no traffic lights, roundabouts nor even a stop sign on Karra. No shops or clubs. Just a tiny beach village a hop step and a jump from all those amenities. You are now on a peaceful island where you will have to get used to people saying “Hi " or a welcoming nod of the head as you pass by .
Ideal for a private romantic getaway, “Karra” (as the locals call it) has one of the nicest sandy beaches on the Southern Moreton Bay Islands. The free sheltered bbq area and swimming enclosure is a great place to watch the sun go down with wine in hand .
The house is at the quietest eastern end of the island where you can sit on the front verandah and watch the ferries go by or just listen to the sounds of the abundant bird life. Put your crab pots down in front of the house if you like.
There are 4 complimentary pushbikes with helmets. Also a tandem bike - a fun way for a couple to explore the island together. Also available are 2 single kayaks and a double kayak with safety jackets, which can be launched near the house.
There is a fireplace in the house to keep warm on chilly evenings, while you play board games or cards around the dining table.
A boat brings a whole new world to explore with places like Peel Island, Blakesleys and Jumpinpin being favourites. The area around the islands is marine national park with turtles, dolphins and dugong to be seen. If fishing make sure you respect the boundaries of the green zones where no fishing is allowed. There are plenty of other spots where the fishing is great.
You can catch squire, bream, flathead and jewfish many places on the Bay . Crabbing is all year round and the crabs are very prolific. Just remember males of legal size are the only ones you can catch .
Passenger ferries make a loop of the islands in both directions en route to Redland Bay on the mainland. They offer free inter island travel several times an hour during the week (and about hourly on weekends) to the other islands on the loop: Macleay, Lamb and Russell Islands. So there is plenty to explore. Or, If you want a meal at a restaurant or club, it is just a matter of jumping on the interisland ferry to your choice of the other islands.
Most of the clubs offer a free courtesy bus and will pick you up at the ferry terminal and drop you off afterwards. You need to book this service with the venue (see list of eateries, clubs and pubs at the house.)
If you fancy a swing of golf for a very economical price, you can take the bikes across to Macleay island and ride to the course or they have a courtesy bus which will pick you up from the ferry terminal. The club hires golf clubs and also has a licensed restaurant.
Macleay and Russell also have a supermarket and shops so if there is anything you need it is 3 minutes to Macleay and 15 minutes to the larger island Russell by ferry.
An information sheet at the house details relevant phone numbers, ferry times etc.
If you are after peace and quiet doing as much or little as you want it would be hard to find a better place so close to the water .
The house is not suitable for toddlers under 3 years as, although legal in Qld., there is no handrail on the front verandah as it is less than a metre high and we like the unobstructed view.
Linen and towels are supplied
