Neighbourhood information
North Stradbroke Island (known as Minjerribah to our traditional owners) is the second largest sand island in the world and boasts some of the best beaches in Queensland. The subtropical climate means Straddie enjoys sunshine almost all year round, with a summer wet season and mild, dry winters. Summer temperatures average at 29°C during the day with winter bringing an average top of 21°C.
Located 30 kilometres southeast of Brisbane, Straddie is 38 kilometres in length and 11 kilometres at its widest point and covers an area of 275.2km2. Along the eastern shoreline of the island you will find soft, white sands and kilometres of rolling surf. The western side of the island faces Moreton Bay and offers calm bay waters and pristine beaches, ideal for families of young children, boating enthusiasts and those pursuing water sports without the waves.
Locals pride themselves on creating a friendly and welcoming vibe for visitors and with three townships to roam and explore, Straddie is never short of attractions and activities to engage visitors of all ages. Your holiday house is situated in the township of Amity Point, located on the northern western tip of the island just 16 kilometres from Dunwich, Amity Point (with the traditional name of Pulan Pulan) is a charming village just waiting to be explored. The gentle waters of Moreton Bay ensure its a top spot for families and people who enjoy a multitude of water sports.

The flat, quiet streets throughout the township are ideal for bike riding and being only 1km from one end of the town to the other, most amenities are within walking distance from your accommodation.
