Description

Imagine this … you wake up in the morning to the sound of singing birds, with the sunlight streaming into your bedroom window. The sky is brilliant blue and the air is clean. Looking out your bedroom window, through the trees you can see the sun glinting on a calm ocean, lapping at a white sandy beach that lies just 50 metres from the back of the house. You can smell the fresh sea air, and perhaps hear the gentle rolling of the waves. You look down and see the secluded path from your backyard leading to the beach just 50 paces away… beckoning; and all at once the frantic pace of your normally hectic and busy life seems like a million miles away…
Welcome to BEACHFRONT REST!

Stayed here with family visiting from the UK. Wonderful location. Beautiful beach on our doorstep and perfect for the younger kids due to the calm waters. Wildlife in abundance and learned how to fish! House is huge, homely and ideal for large families. Great restaurants close by and cahrming locals with some tall tales to tell.

We really enjoyed our week at Beachfront Rest at the end of June, 2007. Our family group consisted of eight adults, two young children and a baby. The house and its beachfront location at Toogoom could not have been better suited to our needs. The five bedrooms meant that the four couples were well accommodated as were the two children, the baby sharing the ground floor bedroom with her parents. The large open plan living area on the ground floor provided a feeling of togetherness without crowding. We found the kitchen well equipped, everything in the house worked and the TV and table tennis table were well utilized. We particularly enjoyed being able to take the short walk through the native front garden to the sandy beach for a spot of fishing or beach cricket or a walk. Togoom is well situated for visits to Hervey Bay, Frazer Island and Burrum Heads all of which we enjoyed doing.

Beachfront Rest is stylish and elegant with all its stone and wood. Great ambience, and
a sense it has been set up with thoughtfulness, as a shared home rather than
a stainless steel and mod cons holiday investment. Virtually everything we
needed was there for a great family holiday - table tennis table, games, DVD's, music, plasma TV, the
space!, proximity and view to beach was great, all very elegant and
beautifully set up around the back glass doors/view. The beach itself was
perfect - long quiet stretches for the adults and calm safe waters for the
children, a place to fish and a safe place for bike riding also.
