Lavish Beach Houses at Agnes Water, Queensland
Visit the incredibly named town of 1770 and stay at Agnes Water Holiday Park. For the same price as a hotel you’ll wake up to the gentle crashing of waves on your doorstep. This accommodation is for adults only so take a break from the kids (and other people’s kids) and lap up the serenity.
There’s hiking, snorkeling, and some amazing drinks all in the backyard of this beautiful coastal town.
Best of the area: July to October is whale watching season so take a pair of binoculars and watch migrating humpbacks teach their young to breach and tail slap, all while you enjoy the spectacular views of the ocean.
