Ideal for small family & pet friendly too
Spotlessly clean, quiet location, comfortable beds and all facilities you need for a comfortable stay and your pet can stay too, couldn't ask for more. Super fresh fish available from your friendly hosts next door too. Can walk to the beach and pub if you're physically fit (about 2.5K with hills) so you can enjoy a drink or two with a meal and walk home safely burning off some calories as a bonus.

Beach shack
We had everything we needed and had a great time at Starfish. It was more spacious than anticipated and comfortable for 4 adults. The decor is dated in the style of a 1980's beach shack which felt homey. Things may not be the most modern but everything is functional and comfortable and within our budget. Despite being on the same block as the owner's home it felt private. Would like to return.

Another great stay at Starfish
We had a wonderful week at Starfish after Easter. We keep coming back because of the excellent location, the clean, comfortable and cosy little house with lots of board games and DVDs for the kids, and the hospitality from Carolyn and Mal. The new deck with its ocean view through the trees is an added bonus. We’ll be back again!

High allergy alert
On entering the property everything is as pictured online except not as clean. There is noone to greet you. Just keys left in a basket. The smell of an old dusty and musty house hits you when you walk in. On further inspection there were ants and spiders seen in places. The cushions on the chairs at the dining table had mould on them which caused itchiness when sitting on them and the dusty musty smell gave me asthma attacks so i had to take ventolin for the 4 night stay. There needs to be some maintenance done to the property like fixing the roof panels and replace the bbq which was dirty and had missing parts so wasnt usable. The pegs for the clothes line were old and broke when trying to use them. The fridge had dents in the door, the bottom of the oven cupboard needs attention as it looks like something happened and its just been painted over and the lounge had some faint kids drawing marks on them. The location was fantastic but you do need a car to get around. Comfortable bed. Close to the beach. Washing machine and bathroom was very good. Communication with owners was very good.

The accommodation served its purpose well, small but comfortable, with glimpses of the ocean. You really need a car to get around as it's hilly with no shortcuts. Clean and adequately appointed.

Our home away from home
Overall a great place to stay. Beds were really comfortable. Kitchen supplied with lots of utensils to cook, almost like being home. Dishwasher was a plus. Do bring your own coffee, tea, sugar, shampoo, conditioner and soap though.becauce they were not supplied..BBQ on the little deck was a really handy adition. No internet but like most of Straddie. Hard to find a good connection spot. Download maps, food places and places of interest before you come. Penty of dvds and family games in the house so that was very good. Really nicely set up little house. We will definitely be back when at Straddie again.

Comfortable cottage on beautiful Straddie
Located in a quiet residential area, but close enough to easily visit any beach at Point Lookout, we really enjoyed our stay at Starfish on Straddie. We were able to manage our small dog who probably had the best time ever, loving the dog-friendly beaches. A magical moment was also watching a koala walk down the footpath into a neighbours yard before disappearing into the trees; and the kangaroos are just a normal part of the scenery - where else can you experience Australian wildlife like that!
