Self checkin/secluded, romantic space for couples
Really great Air BnB! Beautiful little space which was private and super comfortable. Everything you’d need and great little extras like the tea and coffee station which was fully equipped. Trish was a great host too, really kind and responsive and made the place feel so homely. Would certainly book again if we’re in the area ☺️

Brooke's Retreat-peaceful escape
I don’t even know where to start…. This place is amazing, the design, the size, it’s beautiful. We stayed in 8 Air BnBs over our 3 week stay in Australia from the UK and this was by far the best by a mile. It’s the small details that just make it feel so homely. Ally and Pete were also fantastic. They let us check out late after a long day at Fraser Island and even dropped off some bath salts for us to have a relaxing bath. You cannot fault this place. We would happily stay here again if we were to travel back to Australia. We wish Ally and Pete all the best!

Burrum River House
Good spot, well organised

The Hideaway - Burrum Heads
A cosy little beach shack that is in a perfect spot. One street back from the water that has a footpath for walking and the kids to ride bikes. The yard had plenty of space to park car and boat. Great communication with Michelle.

Absolute Beachfront Water Views - The Whitingly
If looking for instant relaxation on arrival, tranquil nearly meditative surrounds, then this place is a must. Extremely quiet with the magic Fraser Coast ocean at your doorstep - literally!. Dog friendly. We paddle boarded every day whilst the dog ran along the beach. The house is very clean and ideally positioned to catch the gentle breeze. Whether reading a book or enjoying the lively fishing, this place will take you back in time where life is easy. The house is perfectly positioned within a super-chilled fishing village. The ideal escape from the hustle of the city. The owners were wonderful and encouraged us to meet the warm neighbours for a drink around the fire pit only metres from waters edge - we felt like locals instantly! The house was spotless, well presented. If we weren't in the ocean, we were playing soccer & cricket hours on end on the large turfed area on the beach. Perfect/safe for kids. We will be back, we just want to make sure it never loses its charm!

Space and character in the heritage hub
Alan’s place in Maryborough is well located, quirky and very functional with everything you could possibly need. The place was perfect for our stay of four guys on a golfing trip. Alan gave clear instructions and communicated all instructions perfectly. His recommendation for a local Thai restaurant was spot on! Highly recommended!

Paperbark Studio
Was an awesome stay, clean quite and the owners were really nice people. The location to is perfect for people who love the beach. Couldn’t recommend it enough such a good little getaway.

"Sandy Toes" - A pad at the beach.
For years we have admired (in passing ) Joanne and Arno’s peaceful idyll- and it was wonderful to finally meet and experience their hospitality as well as their gardens and beautifully uncomplicated, stylish yet functional accommodation.What a fantastic place to stay for the weekend! Meeting Joanne and Arno and hearing of their interests, local sights, accessible amenities and activities reminded us of the original concept behind Airbnb. They made us feel welcome and we are so pleased to have learned more of their local area. Our dog Leah was welcomed and also enjoyed her beach walks - only 2 minutes through a shady native vegetation. We hope to return again! Highly recommended.

Your guide to Burrum Heads
All About Burrum Heads
Burrum Heads is a seaside township located on Queensland's Fraser Coast. The town of 2,000 residents boasts a lush coastline, crystalline waters, and ample opportunities for water-based exploration. Traditionally a fishing village, the town has an active crabbing industry due to its proximity to Beelbi Creek. You can also fish in the ocean, either on shore or via a chartered boat. Spanish mackerel, whiting, and barramundi are just a few of the species you can expect to encounter when out on the waves — and on local menus.
The town features an esplanade for oceanside strolls plus campgrounds and supply stores. There’s also a lively pub and bowling alley for nighttime amusement.
Nearby Lake Lenthall provides access to water sports such as canoeing, rafting, and kayaking. Also close by is Hervey Bay, a small city that has a greater number of restaurants and bars to choose from, but is mainly known for its whale watching.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Burrum Heads
The town has a balmy climate year-round, so there’s no bad time to consider accommodation in Burrum Heads. Even the winter months are fairly temperate, thanks to Burrum Heads’ location on Australia’s eastern coast.
Some notable annual events in the area include the Fraser Coast Show, held in late May. This event showcases the region’s agriculture, arts, crafts, and contests such as the Giant Pumpkin Competition. The Waste to Art Competition Exhibition is held annually between the months of November and January, and showcases a wide variety of arts and crafts created from recycled and discarded materials.
Top things to do in Burrum Heads
Fishing
Burrum Heads is arguably best known for its history as a fishing village, and the variety of fish present in its waters makes it clear why. Spanish mackerel, barramundi, mangrove jack, bream, and more join mud crabs and oysters in the waters of Burrum Heads. With the proper licences, you can catch and cook these culinary delights yourself. Fishing charters are available for hire from several operators in the area.
Burrum Coast National Park
Just across the river from Burrum Heads you’ll find Burrum Coast National Park. This wild area offers ample camping areas, emerald greenery, cerulean ocean views, and pristine, secluded beaches. Set up a hammock for a quick nap before cooking your own catch of the day over a campfire.
Water sports
Situated between the Isis River and the coast, Burrum Heads offers kayaking, canoeing, and a variety of other water sports. Rent a boat from one of the local operators and spend a leisurely afternoon exploring the river or shoreline. Stand-up paddleboarding, known colloquially as SUP, is a local favourite.
